A Recap of Vegan Panel: Network and Chill
On a beautiful day in NYC, six vegan leaders came together in the back room of VSpot Organic, located on the buzzing street of St. Mark’s Place. Each representing a different organization with different goals, what brought these leaders and the crowd to this Latin vegan restaurant was a commonality of plant-based and/or vegan practices and navigating this culture as people of color. It was an opportunity for everyone involved in these vegan communities to come together once again to uplift, inspire, and find new ways to support.

Your Arguments Against Veganism Don't Hold Up
Does veganism seem radical to you? Can you even imagine a day in the life without animal products? Consider this. Do you think perhaps, because veganism is not the social norm, you discredit it too quickly? Let us look over some common rebuttals most vegans are very accustomed to hearing from their omnivorous friends and enemies, and see if they stand their ground in an argument.

When Life Gives You Lemons...
Vegans aren’t what you think. Although you’ve heard rumors, they’re not a gang of angry people who created the tick that makes you allergic to meat, or people who will throw themselves at you to slap the ice cream out of your hands. They’re a bunch of loving, warm-hearted humans who are trying to save the world one step at a time. I started saving the world with this smoothie.

The Bronx Vegan Eats: Vegan Chopped Cheese. Top Story - August 2018.
Every city has its dish. Philly has its cheesesteaks. Chicago has its deep dish pizza. The Bronx, Harlem, and Queens have the beautiful, greasy sandwich that is chopped cheese. It’s the pièce de résistance of any bodega you walk into and the perfect meal to satisfy your hunger. Its composition is similar to a cheesesteak: delicious meat chopped up and cooked with peppers, topped with cheese, and dressed with typical sandwich toppings like lettuce, tomato, and mayo.

Goya Goes Vegan
While perusing my local supermarket, I always keep a lookout for new vegan-friendly products. A surprising realization was seeing a can of refried beans from Goya with a "vegan" label on the front. To begin with, it’s not very often that I see the word “vegan” being displayed in my supermarket so this discovery was a pleasant one!

Vurger Central: The Ultimate Aubergine Burger
There is a documentary out there titled Carnage, and believe me, it has teeth, dripping with beet juice. Long story short —it did it for milk, butter and eggs. That's it. I was done. I don't advise you go cold... tofurkey instantly, but I did. Ultimately, this meant the base of my diet, the diet I'd had for 26 years, went out the window literally overnight.

Taking Health to Heart
Why don't people take their health more seriously? It seems to me that most people only seem to take action when they're ill. When the doctor tells them: "Something has to change, or you'll develop diabetes" or "You are at risk of heart disease," then they start to think that they have to make a change or their lives will be cut short. But why does it have to get to this point before people start doing something? Why does someone have to tell you that you might die young if you carry on leading an unhealthy lifestyle, before it actually hits you? My favorite line from the book How Not to Die by Michael Greger is: "how health eludes some and embraces others." What I am interested in is what determines which of these two categories you fit into?

"It CAN'T be healthy!" "Plants have feelings too!" "It's my personal choice to eat meat/dairy." "What would you do if you and a cow were on a desert island?"

The Problem with Vegans - from an Ex-Vegan
I'm just going to come out and say it: vegans are a cult. At least most of the radical ones this video features are violently trying to come up with some absolute ideology and affect people that way.
