I dusted off the blog to bring you the facts on zinc!

Thanks to Jack Norris, RD, of VeganHealth . org for staying on top of the research and reminding vegans that we need to be intentional about getting enough zinc.

Zinc can be found in several plant foods, but it can be tricky for vegans to get enough of this essential mineral and may need to supplement.

I went vegan as a 19-year-old college student and lived off a lot of black bean burgers, Boca chick'n patties, cereal with soy milk, PBJs and cheeseless pizza.

This is such a great resource and is so helpful during a time when young people are learning about the world and forming their own values and beliefs.

Did you know that 75-86% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch comes from the fishing industry? (including fishing nets and ropes, buoys, buckets, and crates)

"When we think about using less plastic, things that come to mind are ditching reusable water bottles and choosing paper or reusable bags. But dropping fish from your diet is another way to keep plastic out of the environment. Commercial fishing contributes to climate change in other ways, too, most notably through bottom trawling which disturbs the seabed and releases carbon into the atmosphere."

Love this Substack from TheVeganRD

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) is a vortex of debris that lies a few hundred miles north of Hawaii and measures more than half a million square miles.

Loved this conversation with Calen Otto on the Unruly Travel & Living podcast!

"Though we usually connect food with just fullness and hunger, on episode #81 of the Unruly Podcast Taylor explains how food impacts our focus, mood stability, brain function, motivation, and nervous system regulation. In this episode we not only discuss the impacts of restricting food, but ways to heal your relationship with it and your body.

We dive into the difference of subjectively vs objectively being with your body, unpack why an unnourished brain can’t do the deeper healing work, and untangle veganism vs a plant-based, health-focused diet."

Taylor Wolfram, an anti-diet dietitian, shares about intuitive eating, vegan nutrition, healing eating disorders and body neutral affirmations in this podcast episode.

Is the hype behind the fear of seed oils based on science? Nope.

Edible plant oils are commonly referred to as vegetable oils and include oils derived from vegetables, nuts, seeds, fruits, and cereal grains. The term “seed oil” has recently gained popularity and refers to oils derived from plant seeds. Seed oils, which are high in unsaturated fatty acids, inc...
