So, I’m using the Vegan Month of Food – a month during which vegan blogs are celebrated and aggregated in one place – to teach non-vegans and vegans how to be nice to each other. If you can’t say anything vegan, don’t say anything at all.

“I DON’T LIKE OTHER VEGANS.”
Vegans, please stop saying this. Continue reading →
