Every time you try a new vegan food, you get closer to being vegan.

Chickens are tiny animals and some of the most cruelly treated at factory farms. So if you care about animal suffering, cutting out chicken or cutting back is the perfect starting point.

It’s not only vegan restaurants that are having a tough time these days. Outback Steakhouse's largest U.S. franchisee, which operates 61 restaurants, files for bankruptcy. zerohedge.com/economics/majo…

If it’s too late for you to have a meat-free Monday, I hereby grant you permission to have a meat-free Tuesday.

I love the fact that I have thousands of followers who eat meat, but are receptive to leaning more towards a vegan diet.

Your occasional reminder to take your B-12. If you don't have any on hand, order some right now. It's super cheap and can prevent irreversible health problems!
Pretty much all the supplement advice you encounter online is from influencers trying to sell you something. My supplement page has no ads or affiliate links, so there's nothing in it for me—just good deals on supplements of special interest to vegans. vegan.com/health/vitamins/

People who upload photos of restaurant menus to Google Maps are really the unsung heroes of society.

Rest in peace, my friend Howard Lyman. Howard was by far the most popular and most frequent public speaker on vegan topics for two decades. Even though I was nearly 30 years younger, I could never have maintained anything like his speaking schedule—which included driving himself from city to city using paper maps and sleeping in activists' guestrooms night after night for months on end. Howard did more than almost anyone to bring veganism into the mainstream, and he was one of the kindest and hardest-working people I've ever encountered. Excellent obituary here: animals24-7.org/2026/10/29/m…

People think a challenge needs to be tough to be worthwhile, but some of the most worthwhile challenges are super easy. For instance, consider going vegan for a week, or even just one day. You'll discover all sorts of great foods that can enable you to eat better year-round.

One of the most irritating things as a vegan is picking up a bar of dark chocolate and seeing the ingredients contain some sort of dairy product.

Pollan reflects on the progress (and lack thereof) made in the 20 years since the publication of his Omnivore’s Dilemma. An accurate assessment of where things currently stand, that unfortunately leaves out the substantial wins against factory farming.

Sorry, Jose, we can't take action against childhood hunger until we rid the world of foie gras. If that reasoning sounds absurd to you, the inverse is equally absurd. Or, to put it a little differently: No way, Jose.
Jose Andres says we can’t ban foie gras because we need to solve ICE, global hunger, and ā€˜so many other issues’ before we can worry about animals. It reminds me of when I collected signatures in Chicago to preserve the city’s foie gras ban. In wealthy parts of town, high-minded liberals would chide me: 'You’re collecting signatures for ducks? People are getting shot in this city. You should be ashamed.’ When I went to the poor parts of town — the places where people were actually getting shot — no one said that. Instead, when I explained how foie gras was made, the near-uniform reaction was: ā€˜They do that to a bird just so some rich asshole can eat foie gras? That’s f’d up.’ Almost everyone signed. For political elites, banning animal cruelty is a distraction from the Big Serious issues they’re focused on. For most people, it’s just common sense.

Vegan restaurant owners don't get nearly enough respect and admiration. For so many of them, they are putting all their time into a business with brutal margins and a high rate of failure in order to make vegan food more accessible. I don't think most people with normal jobs appreciate just how tough it is to survive in the restaurant business, particularly the *vegan* restaurant biz. If you can afford it, you can make a big difference by eating at these places more often!

Here's one to share.
The meat industry tries very hard to keep cameras out of factory farms and slaughterhouses -- and a new undercover video shows why. Some day, our descendants will wonder about our collective blind spot to animal cruelty. A gift link to my column: nytimes.com/2026/10/17/opini…

It's not just slaughterhouses and cages that are objectionable elements of animal farming. Transport is yet another nightmare.

Always check to see what the vegan option is. Even if you’re not vegan, just doing that much puts you far ahead of 99% of everyone else.

Two crucial things that many vegans should focus on before going vegan, but don't.
