I am a 90s baby, so I grew up during a time when sea monkeys were all the rage. I did not, however, actually have any. Then as I became a teenager, either their popularity began to waver or I just simply wasn't exposed to them as much, because they did sort of disappear from … Continue reading Are Sea Monkeys ethical?

Are home grown eggs vegan?
This is a question that I have often pondered on over the years. Now I have never owned chickens, but I would of course love to.

But I have always wondered whether … Continue reading Are home grown eggs vegan?
