They have'em at my local Whole Foods, and they really are very good.

Absolutely worth reading! Charlaine Harris is nothing but fun, fun fun. I actually think she's a terrible writer, technically speaking (not that it's hard to read the books - I just mean that this isn't exactly great literature) - and whoever her editor is could certainly be a lot better -...

Hmmm...I had a broken foot many years ago and I'm trying to remember what I could actually do comfortably/without compromising the healing process. Cycling, definitely, since I could wear a stiff-soled shoe and didn't need to flex my feet or toes at all. Yoga relies on a lot of toe-flexing...

What the previous poster said! We had the same problem you describe, except we live near the woods and have at least six or seven woodpeckers. We put out a suet feeder and SHAZZAM! - no more chimney pecking. They're pretty smart - they'll go for the actual food instead of blunting their cute...

Definitely do a search of the forums for "kettlebells," there have been several lengthy discussions in the last few weeks that would really be helpful to you! I have been using kettlebells on and off for the last couple of years, but I really started using them seriously a couple of months...

I think the point was: chimps and other great apes (gorillas, bonobos, etc) eat mostly plants. They occasionally eat insects. They eat meat, but rarely (this really varies group-by-group among chimps and bonobos - gorillas eat no meat, per se, although they do eat termites and caterpillars from...

Oh, ActivewearUSA. Haven't you read the sticky about commercial postings??

What Carola said. Also, if you avoid meat for ethical reasons, it's worth noting that the dairy industry provides veal calves (male calves have no place at a dairy farm...) and also older dairy cows to the meat packing plant. But I suspect that you were mainly asking about it for health...

As much as I love the idea of a secret cabal of vegans conspiring to lure everyone into their protein-deprived clutches, protein combining really really was a pretty minor blip on the nutritional radar - it came up in "Diet for a Small Planet" and has since been discredited and the American...

Tempeh also works great for chili. And I love the Curry Tempeh Salad at Whole Foods...I wish I could figure out how to replicate it at home, but alas, all my attempts fall a bit short. :(

I think some omnivores feel judged, especially by vegans - and it's hard, as a vegan, to explain that while yes, I do wish that everyone would become vegan, I wasn't born vegan and I know that it's hard (and to some extent, not very appealing) to break away from food customs and I don't think...

I usually have a shake/smoothie thing for breakfast (my post-workout meal) that includes Vega or Sun Warrior, both vegan protein supplements (hemp/pea and brown rice proteins, I think). Both of these really taste different than other whey or casein-based powders. I don't care for them alone or...

This is really the only "milk" I ever use and it can be used in place of cow's milk in all recipes as far as I know. I've used it for creamy sauces and such with success. It doesn't work terribly well in coffee or tea, but since I drink them both plain anyway, it doesn't matter (to me).

Hmmm...that doesn't really seem all that slow for a beginner! I've been running for years , but I never time myself because I have no intention of competing -- in fact, while I have a vague idea of the length of my various running routes, I don't really pay attention to that, either...

Nope, but if you find someone who can do that, send her to my place next. I have the same issue.

I really like this book because it's a very practical, workable way of eating for people who are interested in exploring vegetarianism/veganism or just eating healthy whole foods. I'm a fearless cook and I love learning new recipes...but I need easy, everyday stuff, too. Plus, while I may...

Have you checked out "The Engine 2 Diet" by Rip Esselstyn? It's essentially the same approach as "Eat To Live" and other lower-fat vegan diets, but he has some killer recipes in there, and he includes a non-vegan phase as well. I am already vegan and am essentially "on" that diet all the...

Best to read them in order. It goes: 1) The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo 2) The Girl Who Played With Fire 3) The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest (coming to US release in late May) When I said these weren't "easy," I was referring mostly to content. The original Swedish title of the...

I agree. He's only a baby! You don't give up on kids just because they don't get potty trained immediately, and puppies require the same kind of patience. Not only do they have to adapt to living with a completely different species, they have to respond to signals in the language of our...

I never get DOMS from kettlebells the way I used to with traditional weight work, mostly (I think) because you don't work to failure with kettlebells - I still get a little sore, especially when I'm moving up in weight on a given exercise and I'm really pushing it. I do remember some really...
