Vegan: Everyday Stories

Documentary: “Vegan: Everyday Stories is a feature-length documentary that explores the lives of four remarkably different people who share a common thread – they’re all vegan. The movie traces the personal journeys of an ultramarathon runner who has overcome addiction to compete in one hundred mile races, a cattle rancher’s wife who creates the first cattle ranch turned farmed animal sanctuary in Texas, a food truck owner cooking up knee-buckling plant-based foods, and an 8-year-old girl who convinces her family of six to go vegan. There are a number of great movies focusing on why to go vegan or featuring people new to veganism, but this movie spotlights how everyday people and their families, each pursuing their own careers, hobbies, and passions live their lives while following a vegan lifestyle.”

We’re vegan owned and operated and specialize in only offering the highest quality animal-free and cruelty-free products – our mission is to offer unparalleled service and selection all in one location, making us a one-stop shopping destination for all things vegan. And, unlike ordering from the “big guys” online, when you shop with us, you keep your money in the vegan community – no more worrying about what percentage of your order is going to subsidize things you don’t believe in, as all orders placed with us will help support further growth to only offer more vegan items and nothing else. How many places can you shop online that you can feel comfortable knowing will only use your money to support veganism further? Not many, but with us, that will always be the situation, as has been for over 20 years now since we first began. If it’s not vegan-friendly, we won’t offer it, period – that’s our guarantee to you, as if it doesn’t meet our personal vegan ethics, you won’t find it in our store. So, no needing to worry about checking labels and ingredient lists on the items we sell to scrutinize for hidden animal ingredients, because there aren’t any – we’ve done the work for you, so you can shop in confidence that as a vegan, you’ll be able to trust the items we offer.”

Veganism: A Truth Whose Time Has Come

Blog. “Veganism is an ethical position; a way of life showing basic respect to all animals; opposing exploitation, objectification, enslavement, sexual violation (breeding / inseminating), and the violent assault of animals. Vegans don’t buy animal-tested products, nor products or practices that exploit animals for clothing, food, entertainment, toiletries, etc. Vegan living is a social justice issue that holds far-reaching sociological and environmental benefits. I am a vegan for 40 years. We can live vegan, so we should. All animals, because they are conscious and feeling, can suffer, and want to live. Therefor, they deserve the birth-right not to be violently assaulted and used like they are a thing, rather than the someone they truly are.”


Veganomics: The Surprising Science on What Motivates Vegetarians, from the Breakfast Table to the Bedroom

Book: “Flip through a magazine, turn on the TV, or browse around online, and it quickly becomes clear: vegetarian eating is on the rise. But just who are vegetarians? How do they make the transition? And what really drives them to take the meat off their plates? Vegetarians differ from omnivores not just in their eating habits but also in their psychology, personalities, friendship choices, even their sex lives. Extensive studies from around the world show that they vote differently, take different jobs, and have brains that fire differently. This research also provides insight into why people who consider themselves vegetarian may not really be vegetarian at all, and why so many fall off the vegetarian wagon. Veganomics is a fascinating journey through the science on vegetarians and vegetarian eating, shedding new light on how and why people eat the way they do, and what impact their dietary choices can have on the world around us. Be forewarned: after reading this book, you may never look at vegetarians the same way again!”


Vegans of Color

“This blog was started (by me, Johanna, with the encouragement of some friends) to give a voice to vegans of color. Many vegan spaces seem to be assumed (consciously or not) to be white by default, with the dialogue within often coming from a place of white privilege. We’re not single-issue here. All oppressions are connected. We are always looking for other vegans of color who might be interested in blogging here: get in touch!”
