by Visiting Animal July 24, 2014
written by Visiting Animal

We could not be happier to feature this immensely profound article on this week’s installment of #ThrowbackThursday. The subject of eating disorders is hugely stigmatized, so we’re eager to feature multiple writers discussing the topic. To make this article even more important (as if that were possible), a quick, easy, and frugal recipe is featured at the end. This article originally appeared …

How to Host a Vegan “Wine” & Cheese Tasting (BONUS: Recipe for Vegan Aged Garlic-Rosemary Cheese!)

by March 26, 2014
written by

In my time as a vegan/animal rights activist – and I’m sure many of you can relate – I’ve encountered a singular sentiment from non-vegans perhaps more often than any other: “I would totally go vegan… if I didn’t have to give up cheese!” I smile. I let them know that, hey, I understand – I’m from Wisconsin, after all. I …

On Cultural Blinders and (In)visibility

by Visiting Animal December 2, 2013
written by Visiting Animal

The animals who wind up on the world’s dinner plates have been made invisible by a cultural structure that thrives on keeping cruelty hidden. In today’s Thought for Food column, animal advocate Lea Pickard – whom you might remember from Episode 156 of our podcast – tells the story of how she shed those cultural blinders to truly see the animals …

Tasty Activism: Extending the Hand of Compassion (BONUS: Recipes for Vegan Cheddar, and Vegan Cheddar Muffins)

by Visiting Animal September 23, 2013
written by Visiting Animal

Ah, we are lucky chickens. Today, we welcome to Our Hen House vegan cookbook author John Schlimm. What strikes me most about John’s story is that he grew up as the son of a butcher, but became a true blue animal advocate, spreading veganism to anyone who wants a spoonful. (After trying John’s concoctions, it’s likely you’ll want many spoonfuls.)  John …
