I just got a reminder mail that the Tofu Haiku contest is in its final week! I don’t know what’ll happen after its gone, but I just noticed that tofulimerick.com seems to be available, and I hear that the tofu in Nantucket is pretty remarkable. Anyway, we tried a side-contest earlier in the campaign, but everyone got spanked by the official Tofu Haiku administrator. The good news? I don’t think he’s eligible for the real contest, so get cracking! Remember: share your haiku here if you want, but be sure to officially enter, officially.

FYI, if you’ve been wondering about the status of Peaceable Kingdom, the filmakers have a sneak preview of the new edition available. It looks like they’re making a ton of changes to the film, with a strong focus on the whole “humane farming” issue that’s been dominating (in a good way) discussions lately. There’s no word on an official release date, but they’re hoping for sometime in the fall. It’s no small effort, and if you’d like to make a donation to assist in the production, I’m sure they’d appreciate it.

We wrote about Peter Singer and Jim Mason’s new book The Way We Eat – Why Our Food Choices Matter a little while ago, but now the nice people in the book industry have given us a few copies. Since I’d already bought one, and since packed bookshelves don’t look as cool when they’re packed with a bunch of copies of the same book, and since I said I’d do this in the first place, it’s time for a contest! For a free hardcover copy of The Way We Eat – Why Our Food Choices Matter courtesy of the publisher (and postage by us), all you need to do with be one of the first 3 people to email us with the correct answers to the 3 questions below. Whoops, you’re too late! Congrats to TheRealPamela, Bush Eater and flutterby! If anyone else wants to enter just for the fun of it, I’ll give you $4.95 off of a t-shirt order, ’cause we gotta make room in the storage area for new crap. [click to continue…]

I think I might be winning my war against my inbox, but it’s still too early to tell… Here’s one that slipped through the cracks: Breeze is looking for contributors to a new anthology titled “Sistah Vegan: Black Women on the Social Implications of Veganism.” Read on for details… [click to continue…]

We don’t post a lot of these kind of stories, but with it being the season of blatant consumption and all, I imagine we’ll have a few recommendations posted over the next few weeks. Consider it our vegan-friendly but less attractive and poorly organized version of Cool Hunting’s Gift Guide. Anyway, the good people at Shameless Magazine are having a holiday subscription sale. This independent magazine for teenage girls is entertaining even to dirty old men like me, and they have a food column that covers the same kinds of issues we talk about here. This month only, subs are $9.99CA in Canada and $19.99CA in the USA.

This one’s primarily for people who will be in Toronto on September 10 – I’ll move it to the Toronto forum in a day or two, but I want to make sure it’s widely read… The Toronto Vegetarian Association is looking for participants in the Amazing Vegetarian Food Race, part of this year’s fab-dabulous Vegetarian Food Fair. Want a shot at cool prizes while helping out the Daily Bread Food Bank? Read on… [click to continue…]
Happy packaging reuse day! That’s probably not officially sanctioned in any country I can name, but the intarweb is supposed to be about reducing the importance of borders, plus I recently re-subscribed to Girls Are Pretty, so here we go: the kick ass ass kickers at the Post Punk Kitchen are hosting a Tofu Container Challenge! Go out and get crafty – if nothing else, you’ve got another half-baked justification for buying 20 pounds of tofu (other than it being happy buy 20 pounds of tofu day tomorrow) – who hasn’t wanted to do that?

There’s been a bit too much convergence in my readings today: Johnathan Skinner of Veggie Games made an appearance in Wired (Steer Madness won an award for innovation in audio!), and then there’s this interview with Neal Barnard of PCRM that I found by way of The Veg Blog that really wasn’t what I expected (not to spoil the surprise, but it’s not about veganism at all). It’s always nice to recognize names in the press, but when they’re vegan names, it’s so much nicer. We’re all over the place these days.

Right! You know that Peaceable Kingdom thing that everyone knows about, so I don’t need to find a link to? Well, everyone who knows about that no doubt also knows about the company’s earlier film, The Witness, and since I’ve just aptly proven (QED) that eveyone knows about this film as well, there’s no need for another link. Santa’s hung-over elves have informed me that there might still be a cluster of people who haven’t seen The Witness in the Virginia area, so they would be well advised to turn to their PBS affiliate (WCVE Richmond and WHTJ Charlottesville) at 11 PM tonight (Tuesday), when they’ll air it! I think that’s tremendously cool.
