Last week, we were pretty amazed by how many readers were willing to confess their favorite weird foods to eat when no one was watching. And it made us wonder: what other secrets are our readers hiding. Like, for example, are there any cheating vegans among us who, even just occasionally, slip a...

Last week I wrote an article about my personal experience with going vegetarian and some of the vitamin deficiencies I experienced as a result, including low levels of B12 and Iron. And wow, what a debate it sparked between vegans and omnivores! Can't we just all get along? Judging by the...

It seems so wrong.
So often I hear "my parents won't let me be vegan" and the responses are very often along the lines of "don't eat" or "have an apple" "they'll give in eventually".
