		<title>Sandal Season is Now</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are deep into Summer and pedicure season! After being trapped all winter, my toes love the freedom of sandals. Our feet work really hard for us, especially for city dwellers who walk a lot. If you haven&#8217;t had a pedicure lately, why not treat yourself to one either at a salon or DIY. They [...]]]></description>

		<title>One Year later: The Truth, Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The path of change
When I look back on my path to veganism, this is how I see it.
Stage 1: Unaware, unconscious.
I was a meat eater who didn&#8217;t know why people were vegetarians. I probably just thought they didn&#8217;t like meat, and it never occurred to me that there was an alternative to eating animals.

Suggestion: Experiment with [...]]]></description>

		<title>One Year later: The Truth, Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow! Time flies when you&#8217;re having fun. So I&#8217;ve been saying for over a year now (on this blog) that &#8220;It&#8217;s easy being vegan!&#8221; What I haven&#8217;t been saying is change is hard. I figure after one year it&#8217;s time to come clean.
Changing from an omnivore diet to a vegetarian diet is pretty simple. Most people are accepting of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Crack Wraps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Crack wraps are the vegan alternative to crack cocaine. Okay, I&#8217;m kidding, but they are addictive. No one can eat just one, which is why my friends and I came up with the name, Crack Wraps. They are super easy to make and require only four ingredients. Basically you make this yummy vegan cream concoction, spread it on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer road trips</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gas prices are high, but I hope that won&#8217;t stop you from a little travel this Summer. My last road trip was to visit my parents in Indiana, which is definitely NOT the most vegan-friendly place on the planet. Despite that, I still find plenty of vegan food to sustain me when I visit.

		<description><![CDATA[by Jennifer Martin
Foie gras (pronounced &#8220;fwah grah&#8221;), a gourmet liver dish, made the news in 2006 when the Chicago City Council passed a resolution to ban it from local restaurants. That decision was met with widespread jeering, particularly in the press. On Wednesday, the Chicago City Council unfortunately reversed the ban under pressure from Mayor [...]]]></description>
