The steak bake has returned! Oddly, it is now called the vegan lattice, and I don't know why. My guess is they don't call it a 'steak' bake because non-vegans got annoyed about a vegan product being named something that it isn't. Regardless of what it is called, I love it and am super excited … Continue reading PSA: Greggs’ vegan steak bake has returned!

Should dire wolves be back?
No doubt you will all have seen the news stories that announce that the dire wolf has been brought back from extinction. And it raises a very interesting conversation that I think has been touched on before (anyone else getting Jurassic Park vibes?) but has never been given any serious thought because it seems like … Continue reading Should dire wolves be back?

The artist, Marco Evaristti, created the exhibit "And Now You Care" was designed to highlight the 28,000 piglets that die daily … Continue reading Animal suffering will never be art
