For Meatout, eat someone else's do-without
-
THE FIRST day of spring, coming up soon, is the Great American Meatout. Got plans? When Meatout launched 28 years ago, the notion of average Americans spending a day without meat was a radical challenge. Now, with Meatless Mondays becoming a household phrase, the once-a-year idea seems quaint - even if plenty of us still have yet to get to that point!

Vegans have cheese options
-
"OH, MY GOD, I couldn't live without cheese!" Ever heard those words, or maybe uttered them yourself? I sure have. Back when I, a longtime vegetarian, decided to go vegan, the prospect of life without cheese yawned as a desolate, ascetic slog of eternity without such rich, gooey gustatory pleasure. What a martyr to cross the line into that bleak, barren world!

Internet makes it easy to go vegetarian
-
LISTEN, KIDS: Back when I was comin' up, going vegetarian was a challenge. We had no Maoz or HipCityVeg - no Internet, even. By the end of the '90s when I went vegan, there was still no basic, easy way to find other vegans or local vegan food. A tough life!
-
Meatless meals made easy through slow cooking
-
WHEN IT'S cold outside, there's nothing like coming home to the warming aroma of a slow-cooked meal, a simmering mixture subtly blending the flavors and colors of potatoes, carrots, beans, rice, squash, tomatoes, corn, mushrooms, onions, spices . . .

2012: Philly's Year of the Vegetarian
-
I MAY NOT BE the first to notice this, but, geez, what a year, huh? I mean for veg dining in Philly, of course. Long a pioneer in this area (hey, without us there would have been no American Vegetarian Society back in 1850), our town is really moving into the big leagues. This year saw the opening of four noteworthy plant-based businesses, each carving a slightly different niche in a different neighborhood.
