Totally Vegetarian Recipes: The Cookbook for People who love Animals.

Recently my wife brought home a cookbook that I have found very useful and informative that I would like to share with all my blog readers.

It is called Totally Vegetarian Recipes From Beginner To Gourmet. The Cookbook for People who Love Animals.

Yea, long title but great recipes and even includes some poems. Overall I would highly recommend this cookbook to anyone wanting to go vegan or even vegetarian.

Have you ever wanted to know how to make your own soy milk? What about Tofu? Nut milks? This book has recipes for those and many more. In fact there is over 300 recipes including recipes for dogs that are vegan! Yes apparently dogs can be vegan also. Cats will need a supplement (to replace one chemical their bodies can't produce that is in meat and not vegetables) to be vegan but can be vegan also.

For those wondering what is so special about being Vegan... check out this post I did and then ask yourself if you can still eat meat.

Anyway, I am going to include the table of contents in this post along with a link to the publishers website where a copy can be purchased. At the time of posting this blog entry, the cost of the book is about $10.00 USD. Not bad for what you get AND the book is printed on 100% recycled paper.

Do you know where your meat comes from? Graphic but true...

Many people eat meat and never give any thought where it comes from. The ones that do think where it comes from usually thinks it comes from the grocery store. Very few people know the real story.

It is important that people stop eating meat. Why? Watch ALL of the below videos and you will see. If after watching the videos you still think its ok to eat meat, you need some help. For those too chicken to watch the videos, you must not care enough about our environment. If you cared, you would be willing to see what your actions cause. By purchasing meat, you are funding the torture of countless animals. You are giving them a reason to continue. If everyone stopped eating meat, they would find other sources of income, maybe even growing vegetables or fruit instead of killing and torturing defenseless animals.

I know I may be coming on a bit strong but there is no sense in all the brutal torture going on. People don't "need" meat to live. A sensible and well planned out vegetarian diet will provide the nutrition you need including protein.

If the below videos are too small, the links to the full size videos are below each video.
