Win a vegan cookbook
Submitted by An Animal-Friendly Life
The past three years have seen a number of veg- and animal-related blogs come and go, though I basically lost track of what’s new out there as I got more involved with off-line stuff and cut back my daily posting here. So I’ve only really just had a brief chance this past week to check out Elaine Vignault’s Vegan Soapbox, which is a bit more than a blog. It’s not quite a full-on CMS-driven site, but WordPress has given her some tools to offer some cool layout options and features. It looks all professional and stuff compared to the humble blog format you find at a place like this (basically driven by blogger with a custom template).
Vegan Soapbox covers more current media on animal issues than I have been at AAFL lately, though without too much commentary from what I’ve seen. I used to do a lot more of this sort of thing–perhaps heavier on the commentary–but focuses shift and I’m still locking in on a new one here, if you haven’t noticed. I’m mainly happy to be more or less uncoupled from the relentless news cycle these days, considering people harm millions of animals every minute. It’s hardly news anymore.
Anywayyyy, back to Vegan Soapbox…
For some reason, Elaine goes by Eccentric Vegan here instead of Elaine Vigneault. I don’t know how eccentric she is (and aren’t vegans generally considered eccentric, anyway?), but we have disagreed a little bit in the past on at least one issue. Doubtlessly we will again. After all, how many of us agree with each other 100% on everything? But, even if the site isn’t ultimately your cup of tea, it’s worth taking a look around, if for no other reason than the currently-running vegan cookbook contest! Vegan cooking is the Switzerland of animal rights.
Enter to win one of three vegan cookbooks now. It’s a pretty easy contest. No postcards to mail in, no essays, etc. Just some basic info so that you can be contacted in the event that you are chosen to receive the prize.
