You are not alone. But it sure can feel like it when you first go vegetarian — especially if you live in a place where, when you tell people you don't eat meat, they ask, "But you still eat chicken and fish, right?" Look around, though, and you'll find all kinds of resources out there…
Well, we survived the snow in Boston last weekend and had a fantastic time exhibiting at the two-day Boston Vegetarian Food Festival. Just like at DC Vegfest, my wife and I met a ton of readers of the site. And as tends to happen after these things, I came back with a big jolt of…

“Aside from the jet packs and the monkey overlords, one of the things that science fiction promised us in the new millennium was food in convenient pill form. But reality cheated our imaginations on every level. Instead of jet packs, we got Segway scooters. Instead of monkeys, we got the Bush administration. And instead of…

You hear a lot about how to lose weight. Not so many of us are trying to gain it. This article would be so much cooler if it had a headline like, "How I Gained 20 Pounds of Muscle in 30 Days (On a Vegan Diet)." And if it included dazzling before and after photos,…

If you're one of the 2500 or so people who now owns a No Meat Athlete shirt, chances are good that you got it via the simple sales page on my blog. (You know, the homemade one that probably left you with the feeling that it was about a 50/50 proposition between you actually getting…
You might remember a guest post about fruitarianism on No Meat Athlete last year that drew a lot of negative comments, mostly dismissing the diet as a fad. But Ben Benulis wanted to see if there was something more to it. Here he is with a post about his experiment. As vegetarians and vegans, most…
As a blogger, I come across a lot of opportunities to play "blogger games." (Think Hunger Games, only without the oppression and killing.) For example, bloggers give out "awards" to fellow bloggers, which you're supposed to post in your sidebar, and then give the award out to a few others, and so on. Okay, I…
"The Best Stuff I Read Last Week" was supposed to be a weekly chance to link out to the awesome stuff other people are doing on the web as it pertains to vegetarian/veganism, fitness, and general ass-kickery. Except this month, I haven't been reading all that much. But that's because I've been busy doing, so…
I mentioned earlier this week that I skipped my weekend link post so that I could take the time to respond to all your magnificent (and truly appreciated) comments on my Boston Marathon post. But with the feedback on the new weekend link posts having been so great, I didn't want to completely skip it…
