Bends to agendas and monetary forces? Would that be the agendas of produce growers because I know if I see one more "Broccoli: It's What's for Dinner" ad or hear one more "Got Asparagus" commercial I know I'm going to scream. Sheesh. Seriously, can you name one health care organization that...

Very true!

The China Study is the biggest, most comprehensive nutritional study ever conducted. The study spans over twenty years and compare the standard American diet, or SAD (do you know how much I love that, haha) with the diets of those living in 65 counties in China (where they consume very little...

There are a billion reasons to go vegan. It's infinately better for the environemnt (less use of land, water, energy and fewer CO2 emissisions). It's better for our health (fewer incidences of heart disease, diabetes, cancer - especially breast, ovarian, prostate and colon cancers) and for our...

Hi Silkiemomma9! We're vegans with chickens too. "So, you don't eat meat, fish, eggs, milk...Wait don't you have chickens"? Too funny. I have vegan children, but only two of them. They're amazing kids. Very healthy, but so kind as well. Thanks for the website. I'm always looking online for new...

Soy milk isn't any more processed than iced tea or lemonaide. It's basically soy beans that have been soaked, ground, heated and filtered with optional flavouring added to it. Soy milk is a product that Asians have been consuming for centuries. The China Study is a great book about the largest...

No, no roo. That would definately be pushing the neighbours! They were battery hens so they don't seem to get broody at all. They don't roost either. At night they sleep in a giant chicken pile in one nest box. It's cute and sad.

I think your diet would be defined as a strict vegetarian.

We give most of them to the neighbours as a kind of "Sorry for the daily 8am 'I LAID AN EGG!'" cluckings. :)

Wow! So glad to have found this thread. I am a vegan lady married to a vegan man with two vegan boys and now - chickens! I love chickens. I feel so fortunate to have the chance to give some a good life in my backyard. I need a farm because I don't think I can stop at chickens.
