I saw this video last year and I enjoyed it immensely. It’s almost two hours long and it documents the daily activities of Storm & Jingee Talifero and their family. It gives you a closer look at what’s its like being raw vegan. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

I live around a lot of farms. Last year I was taking Aiyana to a local produce farm for their hayride. I decided to take a detour and travel down one of the country roads that I haven not frequented in a long time. During the trip from our house to the farm, we passed by a farm that raised cows. These weren’t factory farmed animals, but they still had their ears tagged with a number.
I slowed down as I passed by, and I felt sad Aiyana wanted to know why the cows had earrings and I told her that these animals were going to eventually be someone’s meal. She was fairly upset.
In her mind animals, despite what species they are, serve their purpose on earth and we don’t really have the right to abuse, kill, or eat them. Yes, indirectly she has learned a lot from her mommy. I don’t talk about Veganism too her a lot at this age but she sees how I treat all animals.
I was raised around farm animals, and I remember the chickens seemed to know when my parents were coming out to kill one of them. They would be off, and it was hard for my parents to catch them. We had free range chickens. I cannot blame the chickens. I would have been running also.
Gary of Animal Writings said…
People are conditioned to think of pigs and chickens (and cows and so forth) as “food animals.” Eating meat seems as natural as breathing to most people. And humans are frighteningly good at compartmentalizing, for example pushing thoughts about the suffering and killing of farmed animals out of their minds.
I often think back to that day and the black spotted cow that was looking at me and part of me cannot help think that it *knew* what was going to happen to her.

Leslie Bega of the Soprano’s is a raw foodist. I’ve been following her videos since I discovered them almost two years ago. In this video she makes a raw stuffed curry mushroom recipe. I made a similar version about six months ago. It was delicious.

I saw this video for tofu scramble this morning. Julie Hasson did and excellent job showing how she makes her tofu scramble. Although my daughter and I love, tofu we don’t eat it too much.
We made a special trip to the store to purchase tofu this morning. I bought avocados, dried beans, garlic, carrots, and ginger while I was there. I usually purchase the blocks but since I wasn’t paying attention I bought the cubes.
I made my version of tofu scramble, but I let the tofu brown before I added the vegetables. It was very good. I also added nutritional yeast. I’ve never used it on browned tofu, but it was incredibly delicious, and my daughter gobbled it up quickly. This recipe is a definite keeper!

I make my own homemade tofu for my daughter and myself. Although we don’t eat it often it’s something we both enjoy when we’re in the mood for tofu. My daughters favorite way to eat tofu is in a tofu scramble I found this video of tofu making and thought I would share with my readers. Enjoy!
