Animal Issues: Sad Secrets of the Dairy Industry
Video
By Julie Clark
It is a sad truth that in our society we do not think or ask about the origins of the products on which we depend. But when you start to think about it, you realize that so many of these products come from the destruction of life.
How do you put a price on life? If I asked you this question about a family member, a friend, your beloved dog, the answer would be simple: it is impossible to put a price on that love. Humans aren’t the only animals to feel this way. Animals experience pain, sadness, grief at the loss of a loved one.
Waiter, there’s a horse in my soup!
By Liza Willett
The United Kingdom is going vegetarian when faced with otherwise eating horsemeat. Findus meals and other packaged meat from related factories were adding horse in their meat products without labeling so on the package. Beef products in Findus hamburgers and lasagnas were recalled when 60-100% of the product actually contained horse instead of cow. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland concluded that 10 out of every 27 hamburgers contained horsemeat, while 23 out of 27 consisted of pig.

Today I thought we would make samosas!
Samosas are among the most well-known of all Indian foods. You can find them everywhere: from the streets of Mumbai to obscure London eateries to even the quaint little home of a humble vegan cook. Samosas are perfect for all occasions and a great way to prove to your friends that you are both a cultured individual who knows their foreign cuisine and that you are, in fact, capable of cooking something other than pasta. They do take a little bit of time to make, but I find that the oohs and aahs of my roommates make it well worth the effort. Samosas are traditionally served with a chutney which you can find at your local grocery store near the condiments or you can make one yourself. All right, now let’s get started!
Animal Issues: Hippity Hoppity Easter’s On Its Way
by Julie Clark
Easter-time brings visions of the Easter bunny, baby chicks, and lots of Easter eggs and candy… but real baby chicks and rabbits are not toys! As adorable as these little critters are, sometimes we forget that the lives they lead may not be as cute as Easter portrays them to be.

Speak Out for Species has had a busy but amazing semester so far!
Our 8th annual Animal Voices Film Fest was a whopping success. 297 people attended the films, which means that at least 290 people raved about the EarthFare mock chicken salad.
MeatOut Mondays: Vegan Rice and Peas
By Lilly Ware
I was lucky enough to be exposed to a wide variety of foods growing up and have eaten some of the best foods the world’s cultures have to offer. But no matter how many tasty dishes one eats, a handful of dishes will always remain close to the heart. My mother, the main cook in the house (and the best cook I know) is a native of India, but grew up in Jamaica so I got to taste the best of both cultures! One of my favorite dishes is not a complex one and does not involve any fancy ingredients. However, it does provide me with something many other dishes cannot–joy, with a dash of nostalgia.
Below is a link to a vegan recipe for Jamaican rice and peas. I hope you get as much satisfaction out of it as I do!
