Vegan at Anime NYC
Inside, the beloved Jacob Javits center, hosted some of anime’s biggest fans around. People from all over the world traveled to Anime NYC to cosplay as their favorite characters, peruse the latest in anime, and support over 200 artists from all walks of life. Amidst all of this, I was on the search for vegan-friendly options available at this event in honor of all the vegan otakus out there.

The Vegan Diet: A Look at Sustainability
Vegan. What is the first thing that comes to your mind? Do you think, strange, minority, or health freak? Do you think, “Oh, Lisa at work is a vegan, a little nutty, that one…”? When you hear the term vegan, you already start to think of someone who is different. Being vegan, you are placed into a category which is unique from the rest of humanity. Vegans go against cultural and social norms and traditions.

Vegans, Watch Your Vitamin B12 Intake
Vegans usually don't have to worry too much about where their nutrition is coming from. Those who follow a whole food, plant-based diet tend to naturally reach recommended values for protein, iron, vitamin D, and many other macro and micronutrients non-vegans love to harp on.

The Best Vegan Pizza in the Bronx Is Hidden in Throggs Neck
Following the closing of Pizzaniste, the only Bronx pizzeria (to my knowledge) that sold vegan cheese and crust, my dream for vegan pizza in the Bronx was struggling. As with most of my vegan discoveries, it was through a food ordering app where I found the Vegan Pie at Pizza Gusta. I was sure I was going to get a very sad excuse of a pizza, especially because the word “vegan” is present. Instead, what I received was the best vegan pizza I’ve ever had in my life.

Going Vegan
What does it mean to be “vegan”? A person who is vegan is one who does not eat or use animal products. This means that an individual would refrain from eating meat, egg, and dairy products and would also not purchase or use materials such as wool or leather. According to Forbes, 3 percent of Americans identity as being vegan.

6 Great Natural Sources for Vegan Protein
"Where do you get your protein?" is a question that should be banned from any conversation with a vegan. Only the most malnourished individuals ever suffer from a protein deficiency—if you're eating a well-rounded diet full of veggies, fruits, and grains, you'll never have to worry about it. No protein shakes necessary.

A Harsher Truth
I read an article recently that asked why killing animals is moral when killing people is evil. It asked why the Holocaust was a blight on our history of human beings when we will march animals into a slaughterhouse and consume their flesh. The writer holds vegan views, and to a degree, vegan views are valid. While 70 percent of pollution is created by just 100 companies, all these companies are fossil fuel creators. Of course if you switch to green energy, that would be better. The second biggest cause of pollution is animals. Their farming, their farting, de-forestation, etc. A vegan diet will help slow this. However, there can be nothing morally gained from choosing not to eat animals. Whilst depending on your original diet, it may have health benefits, there is nothing inherently moral about it.

Why People Need to Stop Hating Vegans
With the recent news that Waitrose food editor, William Sitwell, joked about "capturing" vegans, "killing" them and force feeding them meat, and the following Good Morning Britain debate (with one of the debatees calling those who don't eat meat "irritating"), there had been a heated argument in the media about why people seem to hate vegans just so much. As a vegan myself of two years, I know first hand how people tend to treat vegans in everyday life. And I have to say, people really don't like vegans! I wanted to break down why people don't seem to like us very much in everyday life.

Why I Am No Longer Vegan
After two years, I have decided to no longer call myself vegan. During these two years, not only have I had to battle with my own morals on the subject of factory farming, but I have also had to have incredibly awkward conversations with waitstaff who are just trying to do their job, and don't get paid nearly enough to clearly know every ingredient on the menu (especially when it's unclear like isinglass or gelatin).

Creamed Cauliflower Stuffed Peppers
Veganism has always had one of those stigmas of flavourless, boring foods as well as loftier than thou people to match, but I would like to show, through a selection of delicious and sumptuous recipes, that isn't the case. Vegan food doesn't need to be boring and tasteless; in fact, quite the opposite.
