Mary, are there any preservatives in it? i actually make the beet one that is in that link. I am FAR from vegan..but over the past 6 weeks i have been adding a lot of fresh homemade juices to my diet(I actually like the way they taste), to start eating some live plant-based food, but they are a pain in the arse to make. i do my breakfast and lunch as juice and eat a healthy dinner. i do feel a lot better. Would love to have something quick. |

Marc, I juice too (just got back into it) but I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! It's so annoying, and it's not like you can make a batch to last a week. You really should juice a fresh batch every day. That's why that Blue Print drink sounded so appealing to me...........

Here's a dumb question... Can a vegan eat eggs from chickens who've never been around a rooster? Totally not being offensive, I'm just very curious. Also, I've been feeling very guilty about eating chicken lately  |

Also, I've been feeling very guilty about eating chicken lately No, because it's still a product that comes from an animal. Not offensive at all, Allison. And that's an interesting point. It might be an option for a vegetarian. Although it seems like a lot of vegetarians eat eggs and don't think about them as technically a kind of meat. My personal opinion is that eggs should not be included in a vegetarian diet. |

OK, I was just curious. I thought that since the chicken lays it no matter what, fertilized or not, it might be OK.

Ooooh. I thought it was more of an animal cruelty basis. For example, you have to slaughter the animal to get the meat. I thought that since the chicken is not harmed when laying an egg, it would be acceptable.
Man, you guys are tough. I think I'd die if I went vegan. Hats off!

I am in the middle of starting a Bath and Body/cosmetics business that will have a ton of vegan stuff. I mostly like vegan cosmetics, but sometimes when you want to brightest most ridiculous pink possible it will have carmine in it which is made from crushed beetles. Vegans rock! Unfortunately, I love cheese too much to give it up. I'm bad I know! But I don't wear fur, silk or leather if I can help it. |

It should be early next year sometime. I need to move into the new house and get that out of the way so I can devote more funds to it.
I will definitely let you guys know though! I'm not really doing it for profit, but because the cosmetic industry is crap these days.. Too many chemicals and animal byproducts.

I thought that since the chicken is not harmed when laying an egg, it would be acceptable. Man, you guys are tough. I think I'd die if I went vegan. Hats off! It is an issue of animal cruelty. The way that egg laying hens are kept is way more cruel than killing a chicken for its meat IMO. I do know vegetarians that have no problem eating eggs from local farmers who they know the chickens are well kept though. I say vegetarians and not vegans because technically one is a vegetarian and not vegan if they consume or use animal products. It is all a personal choice though. I don't think I could ever eat an animal product again even if it was humane but that is just me personally. |

I've been educating myself. My vegan diet has become more than just for my health, and is becoming an ethics thing. I went around the house last evening looking at how many animal cruelty products I've been using. geeze... what an eye opener.
I would never have thought that buying my paper towels supported an animal testing corporation. I have a lot of changes to make.
