Food for Thought with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau ·

2006/10/28

I've heard every excuse in the book for eating animals, but I've yet to hear a convincing reason. The consumption of meat, dairy, and eggs is so ritualized, rationalized, disguised, and romanticized that an entirely new group of people has emerged: the "excuse-itarians." These are the people who spend enormous amounts of time and energy romanticizing the consumption of animal products and who have become pseudo-celebrities because of it. The rise in popularity of such people reminds me of the Hans

How humane are "humane" meat, dairy, and eggs?

Food for Thought with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau ·

2006/10/12

I have yet to meet a non-vegetarian who didn't care about the treatment of animals raised and killed for human consumption, and I have yet to meet a non-vegetarian who didn't declare that they're eating "humanely raised" meat, dairy, and eggs. When you factor in the breeding, transporting, and slaughter, is it possible to have "humane" animal products?

10 Tips for Eating Vegetarian in Social Situations

Food for Thought with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau ·

2006/10/11

Some people are afraid that their social lives will suffer when they eliminate meat and dairy from their diet, since social occasions and food tend to go hand in hand. For anyone who has ever thought it's difficult as a vegetarian to dine out or to eat at the home of non-vegetarian friends, I hope this can be a guide and a resource. It also includes suggestions for having productive dialogue in social situations.

The Language of Meat

Food for Thought with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau ·

2006/10/02

The words we use to refer to the animals we eat reveals a lot about how we feel about eating once-living creatures. If we can't comfortably call it what it is, then maybe we have a problem eating it in the first place.

Favorite Foods: Non-Dairy Milks

Food for Thought with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau ·

2006/10/02

Despite the crazy notion that non-dairy milks are alternatives to cow's milk, it's really the other way around when you consider the fact that the milk from nuts and soybeans has been used for thousands of years. Join me as I explore the many commercial (and homemade) milks available to those of us who've weaned ourselves from the milk of cows.

Eating Animals

Food for Thought with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau ·

2006/09/26

The practice of eating animals is a culturally ingrained habit. If you're in the U.S., you might dine on pigs, cattle, and chickens; if you're in Mexico, you might feast on goats; if you're in parts of Asia, you might devour dogs and cats. We humans have a funny way of judging other cultures for what we think is cruel, despite our own commitment to cruelty. To the animals, it's all the same.

The Myth of the "Perfect Vegan."

Food for Thought with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau ·

2006/08/16

Some people mistakenly think being vegan is about trying to attain perfection, so they resist any considerations of this lifestyle lest they have to "give something up." Being vegan is about living compassionately, consciously, and expansively; it's not about deprivation or being certified 100% pure.

Being a "Joyful Vegan."

Food for Thought with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau ·

2006/07/11

Despite the stereotype that characterizes vegans as "angry," I call myself a "joyful vegan" and find that most everyone I know who lives this way also radiates with a joy and peace that comes with being fully awake and open.

Food for Thought with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau ·

2006/07/07

Join me as I address some of the tenuous arguments against vegetarianism. The arguments that try to catch vegans in some kind of state of hypocrisy are particular favorites of mine, such as accusing them of torturing plants or not caring about insects. "Don't do nothing because you can't do everything. Do something. Anything."

It seems that most of our excuses for eating animals have more to do with how we want to perceive ourselves and less to do with what is actually true. Explore this idea with me as we look at a couple popular justifications for eating animals.

Food for Thought with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau ·

2006/05/30

Cow's milk is indeed a natural food - for calves! - just as human milk is made for humans, rat's milk is made for rats, and dog's milk is made for dogs. Our consumption of cow's milk is even more absurd when you consider that calves stop drinking cow's milk when they're weaned, and humans stop drinking human milk when they're weaned, but somehow we've all been convinced that humans should continue drinking cow's milk - and never wean.

Skipping the Middle Animal: The Nutrients We Need are...

Food for Thought with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau ·

2006/04/26

Perhaps the biggest, most persistent myth is that the nutrients we need are animal-based. We're told we should get calcium from cow's milk, omega-3 fatty acids from salmon, and protein from meat. In fact, the nutrients we need are plant-based. Not animal-based. Listen to this podcast episode about why it makes absolutely no sense nutritionally, ethically, or ecologically to go through an animal to get to the nutrients that the animal got because the animal (theoretically) ate plants. ——————

A Visit to Two "Free-Range" Egg Facilities

Food for Thought with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau ·

Join me as we journey to two different egg-laying facilities who label their eggs "organic, free-range, and cage-free" and discover that, though the hens may not be in "battery cages," everything else remains the same.

Food for Thought with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau ·

2006/03/29

However much we want to believe it, hens don’t produce eggs because they figured out they were good binding ingredients for baked goods. Products of a chicken's reproductive cycle, eggs are simply the waste produced when they go unfertilized. Not as appetizing as what the egg industry tells us. What else are we not being told?
