commenter #44:I have not seen one "vitriolic" comment from a meat-eating reader on this article in the 43 comments preceding your post insisting that you are, of course, the better person for not "responding" to them-- but then, how can one "respond" to something that does not exist?I have, however, seen a number of comments in this vein: "hey ragers? lay off, if you don’t like it, don’t eat it. They’re recipes posted in a newspaper- there’s no militia threatening to kill you if you don’t go vegan," as well as your misinformed comment on the "vitriol" of meat-eaters as a group.So let us consult the dictionary: vit·ri·ol /'v?tri?l/ Show Spelled [vi-tree-uhl]noun, verb, -oled, -ol·ing or ( especially British ) -olled, -ol·ling.–noun1. Chemistry . any of certain metallic sulfates of glassy appearance, as copper sulfate or blue vitriol, iron sulfate or green vitriol, zinc sulfate or white vitriol, etc.2. oil of vitriol; sulfuric acid.3. something highly caustic or severe in effect, as criticism.The third entry is obviously the one we are addressing in this case, correct? Assuming that, we must also assume that you've seen some comment criticising your viewpoint that could be considered "highly caustic." so let us define "caustic."caus·tic /'k?st?k/ Show Spelled[kaw-stik]–adjective1. capable of burning, corroding, or destroying living tissue.2.severely critical or sarcastic: a caustic remark.Again, it is the last entry that we are addressing. I have seen no sarcastic or severe comments, and thus, no "caustic" comments-- the end result being that nothing written here could be rightly considered "vitriolic." The closest possible example I can see is a statement that veganism is "aberrant." Let us define "aberrant." ab·er·rant /?'b?r?nt, 'æb?r-/ Show Spelled[uh-ber-uhnt, ab-er-]–adjective1. departing from the right, normal, or usual course.2. deviating from the ordinary, usual, or normal type; exceptional; abnormal.Given that in the current American society's culture, eating meat is the most common choice, followed then by vegetarianism and LAST of all by veganism (which, further supporting my statement, is a word that does not even show up in automatic spell-checking software, as opposed to vegetarianism, which does), one could make a very well-informed, very clear, polite, and completely non-sarcastic argument that veganism is in fact aberrant, aberrant meaning unusual or out of the ordinary. Before you counter that I have used the second and thus less typical use of the word aberrant, omitting the sense of "right vs. wrong" in the first definition, let us recall that you too were using the word "vitriolic" in the same sense.Please, take care before making absurd, unverifiable and obviously judgmental statements in the future, as they do detract from your overall credibility.

"Meatless Mondays" is a great concept, but it's really disappointing to see a recipe promoted for this event that is just plain awful, and the young female chef is promoted as having done something really good (e.g., mainstream recognition). But, I did the math. It ain't pretty. Here's the link to the recipe:
http://meatoutmondays.org/emails/10-09-27.htm
Okay, 5 cups of sugar is 3870 calories and around 1000 grams of sugar. 1 cup of coconut is 552 calories and 57 gms of fat. 1/2 cup of vegetable oil is 900 claories and 100 grams of PURE fat. 1/2 cup of coconut oil is 900 calories, 100 grams of fat, 94% of that SATURATED fat.
Strawberries, refined flour, chocolote, and immense amount of sugar and pure fat. What does that work out per serving?
FAT: over 20 grams (Esselstyn/Ornish daily recommendation, 14 to 24, Feds, 30 grams)
SUGAR: over 80 grams per serving. (American Heart Association recommendation for adult woman PER DAY, is around 24 grams of sugar)
CALORIES: around 500. A third to a fourth of what most people need PER DAY.
Is this recipe really worth promoting as vegan? It has an entire day's worth of fat per serving, a ton of saturated fat, and over three times the recommended sugar per day for a woman, somewhere around twice for a full grown adult man. PER SERVING. By conservative American Heart Association recommendations, it's bad for your heart on TWO counts: sugar and fat. By those who've reversed heart disease through diet, it's even worse.
IMHO, FARM should be embarassed to promote this recipe at all. Just because it's vegan, doesn't mean it's healthy. This is the kind of fat and sugar-ladden quasi-food products that are killing people on a massive scale in this country. Doesn't matter that it's vegan. It's toxic. Nutritionally a waste of time and it caters to fat/sugar taste addictions.
Furthermore, it's a travesty to the tasty, antioxident rich strawberries. Do they really need to wrapped in fat, flour, and sugar to be savored?
Chef Chloe, just like "fat is flavor Chef Tal" deserves no praise for creating and promoting such intrinsically unhealthy food mixtures under the "but it's vegan" conceptual umbrella. This is, well, crap. You may save an animal, but you will certainly contribute to the higher probability of killing a human prematurely from any number of chronic disorders.
Apparently, FARM doesn't care. In their zeal to protect the animals, they seem to have forgotten that, SURPRISE! humans are animal, too. And recipes like those of Chloe and Tal are deadly... to human animals. These Chefs should be admonished for promoting such unhealthy food mixtures instead of using their celebrity status to spread the word about truly health low-fat vegan meals.
We're sometimes like people who've just had a breakup and are so excited that anyone would be interested in us that we lower our standards and will go out with anyone who is even close to the former. We get so excited that "a young pretty vegan chef is getting recognized on cable" that we forget, it's not just "vegan." It's what's healthy vegan that matters. We don't need to be that desperate. Over 500,000 people die from heart disease each year in this country, and the research of Esselstyn and Ornish clearly shows it's the added fat that is a primary cause.
Sugar, non-food fat, flour, and a handful of strawberries, just isn't all that impressive as a recipe. I admire FARM's goals to promote vegan food, but let's get real and promote healthy vegan food. It's not the 60s. We know how to reverse Type II diabetes and heart disease: no-added fat vegan food. Promoting anything else in the vegan realm is hypocrisy... or ignorance.

CommentsMark, I found myself nodding in agreement at your sentence,"We're sometimes like people who've just had a breakup and are so excited that anyone would be interested in us that we lower our standards and will go out with anyone who is even close to the former." So true!
When I am counseling new vegans or people in transition, I sometimes find myself so eager to encourage them in baby-steps, no matter how small, that I sometimes lose track of the big picture. And that is a ultimately doing them a disservice.
Thanks for the excellent reality check.
[And thanks for your feedback and, well, encouragement. It's a tough issue to advocate: many vegans tell me "it's okay if they do the fatty faux cheese," etc., as they are transitioning.
But the more important problems, the taste addiction to fat, salt, and or sugar, aren't being addressed. As I've been blunt about, we may, in theory, save more animals, but we're still going to see humans dropping in what are literally epidemic numbers (and at what an emotional/financial cost) whether they are vegan or not, if they continue to consume so much unnecessary fat, oil, salt, and sugar.
I'm lucky in that I believe firmly in the research of Ornish, Esselstyn, and Barnard, let alone, that the concept of oil NOT being real food makes a helluva lot of sense to me. After over 3 and a half years, I love not being addicted to the taste of the aforementioned unholy trio.
I've no problem with the first transition, say, to vegan (with, say, fatty Daiya cheese), but there's need to be a second. Why waste the time and potential deterioration of one's cardiovascular system?
I'd rather take the, ahem, bull by the horns: rid myself of the taste addictions for fat, sugar, and salt.
It's going to be a tough and protracted battle, but those of us who can demonstrate, through our own health and persistence of the facts, that a no-added fat vegan diet is the best for our longevity will eventually be proven right.
I admire the raw vegan foodists, only must note that so many of their recipes have SO much fat in them. But that's another matter.
Again, thanks for your feedback and you've a nice website!
Best regards, Mark

? ?The past 24 hours in gossip, innuendo, and cold hard facts about the San Francisco restaurant scene.The Feast breaks the biggest news of the day: It's been no secret that Tartine Bakery's Chad Robertson and Elisabeth Prueitt were taking over the luggage store next to their restaurant, Bar Tartine. Jeannie C. reports that they're going to turn the space into a second, bread-focused bakery. Most of the bread will apparently become lunchtime sandwich material for the restaurant, but some bread (and pie) will be sold to the public. The timing of the announcement, right on the heels of the release of Robertson's book, couldn't be better ? everyone who's followed the 40-some-page recipe now realizes just how hard it is to make Tartine's bread turn out so delicious. Over at Mission Mission, Allan H. naively asks, "So we can get breads and other treats to go without waiting in one of those soul-crushing lines at Tartine #1?" No, Allan H. No.Tasting Table breaks out an intriguing tweet for everyone else to follow up on: Pastry chef Luis Villavelazquez is leaving Absinthe and Arlequin to pursue another project. Within a day or two someone will report out the news of what it is. What about the cupcakes, we worry? Will they be saved?

You're not worried about food spoiling in your refrigerator?" I can still see and hear the surprise in my former neighbor's voice when, after three days of no power from a ice storm-induced blackout, she'd come over to chat and was quite shocked that for me it was no big thing. "I'm vegan," I told her. Since there was no dairy, eggs, or meat in my refrigerator, worse-case scenario, I might have some vegetables or fruit going bad, certainly not enough to cause me any illness, though. I don't have to treat my kitchen like a biological warfare laboratory.
I smiled when recalling this after reading through the latest book from Jon and Robin Robertson, "Vegan Unplugged: A Pantry Cuisine Cookbook and Survival Guide." Even more ironic was receiving the book for review just before Hurricane Earl was preparing to take a sideswipe at the Outer Banks and Virginia Beach, which was the same kind of event that prompted the Robertsons to not only eventually re-locate from that area, but write a book about what they learned from the experience.
This is NOT just a cookbook. It is a comprehensive, well-documented and researched survival guide on what to do in the even of a disaster that forces you to "Shelter-in-Place" (SIP) as the government puts it. You must live off your larder and may not have any electricity and/or running water. If you haven't stocked up or planned for such an event, it won't be easy. To help you plan in advance, Jon has put together, in one book, quite the array of advice and resources. From a "Five Day Menu Box" that costs around $70 to assemble and would feed four people for 5 days without electricity. to a detailed pantry list, how to handle water issues, ideas for cooking food without electricity, an Emergency Preparedness Guide, Animal Survival Planning, and even a full section on "How to Handle the Stress" this book is more than just clever and useful vegan recipes. It's a tremendous centralized source of how to prepare for and manage most emergency situations.
Not to ignore the recipes though... as usual, Robin's creativity (and wit) shines throughout this array of tasty "Pantry Cuisine" concepts. Laugh at adversity with "Shiitake Happens Mushroom Soup," give a finger to a Hurricane with "Last Resort Lasagna," challenge a power outage with "Texas Twister Caviar," thumb your nose at a snowstorm with "Ginger-Walnut Rum Balls," spin a little "Thaiphoon Tofu Stir-Fry" and take control with bowl of "Emergency Gazpacho." Recipes not needing heat are also listed separately, and again, there's much advice on tools for heating food without electricity.
"Vegan Unplugged" is an outstanding contribution not only to the vegan community, but to people of any dietary preference as a methodical and meticulous guide to survival. This unique book from "Vegan Heritage Press" raises the bar, not only in terms of the practical recipes, but also in the comprehensiveness of the survival advice. Way to go, Jon (and Robin). I was touched, too, by the last two sentences of the book, which I've excerpted below. It's this kind of desire to serve and help others that is pervasive in all the Robertson's works. Quite inspiring...
Here's a link to Jon's "Vegan Unplugged" Blog (with recipes and preparedness tips), and to Vegan Heritage Press.
"Pasta with Creamy Pumpkin Sauce and Walnuts"

Salmonella can also cause foodborne illness (salmonellosis) through cross-contamination, e.g., when juices from raw meat or poultry come in contact with ready-to-eat foods, such as salads.
Food may also become contaminated by the unwashed hands of an infected food handler. Salmonella can also be found in the feces of some pets, especially those with diarrhea. People can become infected if they do not wash their hands after contact with these feces. Reptiles are particularly likely to harbor Salmonella. People should always wash their hands immediately after handling a reptile, even if the reptile is healthy" [source]

Surprised I missed this recall of 21,000+ lbs. of "Follow Your Heart" Products in March 2010
"Chatsworth, CA – March 3, 2010 - Earth Island is conducting a voluntary recall on its distribution of the following Follow Your Heart brand products as a precautionary measure due to possible Salmonella contamination of a natural flavor from one of our suppliers.The recalled products contain natural flavor supplied by Basic Food Flavors of Las Vegas, Nevada. Follow Your Heart deli products are sold at grocery and health food stores and served in commissaries in the Southern California region. Follow Your Heart dressings are sold in grocery and health food stores nationwide."Yup, and according to their website:
"Each Follow Your Heart® Product is made with care for ingredient selection, freshness, and flavor."I wonder what the "natural flavor" was that could be contaminated by "salmonella" and why they were not doing periodic testings of same if there was a possibility of said contamination in the first place. Mindless trust in another vendor?
How does a food product get infected with salmonella?
"Salmonella lives in the intestinal track of humans and other animals, including birds. Salmonella is usually transmitted to humans by eating foods contaminated with animal feces. Salmonella present on raw meat and poultry could survive if the product is not cooked to a safe minimum internal temperature, as measured with a food thermometer.Salmonella can also cause foodborne illness (salmonellosis) through cross-contamination, e.g., when juices from raw meat or poultry come in contact with ready-to-eat foods, such as salads.
Food may also become contaminated by the unwashed hands of an infected food handler. Salmonella can also be found in the feces of some pets, especially those with diarrhea. People can become infected if they do not wash their hands after contact with these feces. Reptiles are particularly likely to harbor Salmonella. People should always wash their hands immediately after handling a reptile, even if the reptile is healthy" [source]
Well, that's encouraging. Also worth noting is that, over two months later (as of this post), they do not directly address WHAT the ingredient was in question, but allude to it indirectly in a post (that has a "recall" tag) saying they won't use HVP (hydrolyzed vegetable protein) in their products any more.
I think if they really cared, they'd own up to what the source of the contamination was, and (b) what steps they will take to prevent such from happening again (including regular testing of their products). That they won't directly address the (a) is quite disappointing. Even their press release doesn't give a direct link to the FDA's recall and mention that they are recalling some 21,498 lbs. of product.
Remember, just because a product is vegan, it doesn't mean that the company making the product isn't looking out for itself less than it is for it's customers (and the company making POM is an even more extreme example). It's easy to succumb to the perspective that because a company puts out a so-called "healthy" or "organic" product that they are not subject to the same cost-cutting, greed, shoddy practices, carelessness, and PR exaggeration as their non-organic competitors. A wise consumer, be he/she vegan or not, must be vigilant, not trust everything you read, and be an inquisitive consumer.
With the pervasiveness of the Internet, there's few excuses for not finding out what's in a product, who makes it, their corporate interests/integrity, and whether or not you're being taken for a ride.
Finally, if you minimize what you purchase of processed foods that come out of a can, box, bottle, or plastic bag, you can also minimize your risk of being affected by corporate carelessness and accidents. A sound strategy on many fronts, and an easy way to ignore, let alone be disaffected, by "corporate spin."

And I don’t know about you, but I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve not been eating cheese for so long that even though it’s not dairy per se, to me it tastes just like cheese, and I find it revolting.
Roseann: I have to say, when it first came out, I was addicted. I was eating so much of it, I think I just bottomed out. It was definitely nice to have a meltable “cheese” again, but it does feel almost as heavy and clogging as actual cheese.

CommentsI saw this interview the other day and thought it was really good. The exchange on the daiya (whatever that is, I haven't seen it) was particularly good to reinforce that just because it's vega, doesn't mean its healthy. I hope that Rip doesn't sell out or have his message diluted by his relationship with Whole Foods.
[I hope so, too. From having spent phone time with him, I doubt he will. I wonder about Fuhrman being involved as well. Whole Foods is quite the mixed bag. Best, Mark]
