Quick and Easy Crock Pot Recipes for Vegetarians
Crock pot recipes are always a great choice for a weeknight meal. They are the ultimate "lazy chef" option that tastes great, packs tons of nutrition, and also allows you to get in a full day of work while you cook dinner.

How Will We Eat in the Future?
The world’s population is increasing. It’s projected to rise from 7.4 billion people in 2016 to 9.2 billion people in 2050. That’s 1.8 billion extra mouths to feed in a world where, even now, people often go hungry. What’s needed is a revolution in how our food is grown, delivered and prepared. By using technology to further advance crop and meat production, the human race could create a sustainable future for not only our planet but for generations to come.

The Vegan/Vegetarian Challenge (Veganuary)
Earlier this year I met some friends who are dedicated vegans and they were promoting Veganuary (a month of eating vegan only food). This was so that people could take advantage of the fact that they are filled with a desire to change their lifestyle into something healthier after the excesses of the festive period. It’s also very good on your wallet as it’s a lot cheaper than buying meat on a regular basis. While I wanted to join them, I wasn’t sure how I would go about doing that and I had decided to undertake a different challenge and that was Dryanuary. This is where you give up alcohol for a month which I achieved, although it was not without its difficulties as I was still undergoing a healthy eating challenge but I was very happy about the result it produced. I also repeated the experiment abroad, 3 months later, with my family; however, we did slip up for Easter which was in the middle of this abstinence.

The Benefits of a Pescetarian Diet
As the environmental and financial costs of red meat, and white meat for that matter (reed: pork, beef, lamb, venison etc. for red meat and chicken, turkey and other birds for white meat) continue to rise globally, seafood of all kinds are becoming more popular in order to maintain a healthy diet and obtain essential minerals like omega-3 fatty acids and zinc without resorting to supplements.

A Carnivore Turns Vegan
I've never liked social justice warriors. They always annoyed me, primarily because half of them seem like they're only doing it so they can post about it on Facebook and act like they're holier than thou. I've also never had a problem with people eating meat. I do, however, have a problem with the way most of that meat is obtained. It's one thing to hunt and kill your food- it's quite another to have entire warehouses packed with living beings who are slaughtered brutally by the thousands after a lifetime of mostly suffering. It's quite simple for me, it's a principle based on survival of the fittest- if I can't kill it myself, I don't deserve to eat it. I would be the predator that failed to catch its prey. If I was desperate maybe I could, but at this point in time there's plenty of other things to eat.

Mixing different combinations of flavors can be exciting for chefs all over the world, but the ingredient of miracle berries can actually alter one's taste-buds' shapes to enjoy certain ingredients in a brand new way. The ingredient is known as "Miracle Berries." The berries grow on a shrub named "Synsepalum Dulcificum."

What Have Vegetarians Actually Done to Help?
Becoming a vegetarian or vegan was never an option for me, I may have thought about it once or twice in life but I love experiencing food. Textures, flavors, temperatures and even the sound of different ingredients put together make me love life even in the darkest moments.
