If your oil is super solid, you can place place the jar in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes.Sprinkle the baking soda on top (about 1/2 the amount of coconut oil) and stir well.Add some peppermint oil to taste (Optional)Tes

LISTEN HERE"People say that being a vegan creates a social problem in that others may react negatively. But isn't that the case if you take a principled position on any issue, whether it's racism, sexism, heterosexism, violence as a general matter—or speciesism? The key is to educate others about *why* you take the position." ~ Gary L. FrancioneHere is a link to the fantastic Nutritional Pamphlets from the Boston Vegan Association or you can contact them for some copies hereAlso don't forget their wonderful Vegan Pamphlet Here is another must have for any street stall: Becoming Vegan Pamphlet

Listen HERE***NOTE: I AM NO LONGER AFFILIATED WITH OR SUPPORT TAVSHere is the facebook post I wrote: "Anyone who thinks there is no moral difference between, say, driving a car or taking public transport in vehicles that to our dismay may contain animal by-products, and for example eating a piece of cow's milk cheese, obviously doesn't realise that animals are property and what we are trying to abolish is slavery.There is a *huge* difference between the two examples. As vegans, we are frustrated, horrified and dismayed when we learn that there are some things that we must use that against our will contain animal by products. Such as sidewalks or footpaths, plastics, car tyres etc. Huge difference.The difference is thus: those things, those industries, those products, are not products based upon animal slavery. They are simply not. It is perfectly conceivable to have cars, concrete, paint, plastics etc, without any animal by-products in them whatsoever. And we are going to abolish that too, you just wait.Howev

Listen HEREOr here:  ***NOTE: I AM NO LONGER AFFILIATED WITH OR SUPPORT TAVSThis is the quote from Gary Francione I mentioned:"To believe in a principle of justice and promote that principle clearly is not be "angry." That term is simply a way of putting the principle down by not focusing on the substance and, instead, focusing on the person articulating the principle. People always "like" people who don't challenge them but in the world in which you and I live, challenging others is what morality *requires*. It's not optional!"(In response to a comment on the Gary L. Francione: The Abolitionist Approach to Animal Rights page in which the commentator said: "I was overwhelmed by all the "angry vegan" personal attacks this week and wanted to be seen as 'nicer' by encouraging this, which did not prove to be effective and went against my conscience anyway.")Original thread where above comment happened: https://www.facebook.com/abolitionistapproach/posts/734694363216987?comment_id=7664908&o
