Garlic-Onion-Beet-Spinach-Mango-Carrot-Grapefruit Juice<\/h1>\n

by Nathalie VanBalen<\/a><\/span> <\/h2>\n
\n

“Garlic-Onion-Beet-Spinach-Mango-Carrot-Grapefruit Juice<\/i> is a fresh, one-of-a-kind book designed to get a person\u2019s mental juices flowing about compassion, vegetarianism, stereotypes,  expectations, and (of course) juicing. Like the title, a lot of interesting ingredients get blended together in this book; and although it sounds funny, it sure gets one ‘pumped!’ (like the the main characters say). The story revolves around two characters who are super enthusiastic about juicing. They find a reference to using yellow spotted snail shells to make them strong and healthy (and it goes well with juice!), so they bag a bunch and prepare to add them to their special garlic-onion-beet-spinach-mango-carrot-grapefruit juice. One of their housemates firmly believes snail shells do not belong in juice and begins thinking about the snails\u2019 perspective and models critical thinking, empathy, and compassion for the reader. She asks herself thoughtful questions, one of which is ‘How does it feel to be food?'” -VegBooks review Note: Also check out author Nathalie VanBalen’s vegan Thanksgiving coloring zine, Happy Thanksliving!<\/i><\/a> https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/catalog\/books\/3719\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Vegan Freak Book: Being Vegan in a Non-Vegan World, Version 2.0<\/h1>\n

by Bob Torres<\/a><\/span> <\/h2>\n
\n

At one time or another, every vegan has felt like an outsider, even in places where they’re supposed to feel comfortable. This book is written to help you embrace your inner vegan freak. Written by people all along the continuum of veganism\u2014there is a special focus towards young, independent minded, tattooed vegans. There’s practical tips, advice, stories, and comprehensive lists of resources, tips of keeping sane, being happy, and being healthy in a non-vegan world. Witty, opinionated, and eminently useful. The tone is refreshing compared and language to most books of this sort. Note: This edition includes revised, expanded, and updated material. https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/catalog\/books\/3766\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Green is the New Red: An Insider’s Account of a Social Movement Under Siege<\/h1>\n

by Will Potter<\/a><\/span> <\/h2>\n
\n

Like the Red Scare, this “Green Scare” is about fear and intimidation, using a word\u2014”eco-terrorist”\u2014to push a political agenda, instill fear and silence dissent. The animal rights and environmental movements directly threaten corporate profits every time activists encourage people to go vegan, to stop driving, to consume fewer resources and live simply. Their boycotts are damaging, and corporations and the politicians who represent them know it. In many ways, the Green Scare, like the Red Scare, can be seen as a culture war, a war of values.<\/p>\n

Will Potter outlines the political, legal, extra-legal, and public relations strategies that are being used to threaten even acts of nonviolent civil disobedience with the label of “terrorism.” Here is a guided tour into the world of radical activism that introduces the real people behind the headlines and tells the story of how everyday people are being prevented from speaking up for what they believe in. https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/catalog\/books\/3625\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
