Raw Food Episode 37 - Jenna In The Jungle - Super ...

Looks yum! Might make this with agave or date paste to make it vegan.

2 questions for a person who is uneducated in the ways of a vegan lifestyle....1. why are latex condoms not vegan??? and 2. do vegans eat bee pollen??

Nice, yummy! looking forward to do it! Maybe I'll use carob instead of cocoa.

Sorry if my comments came off as a bit negative. Vegans take an admirable moral stand on food and owe it to themselves to get the best info possible. David Wolfe eats raw honey, another popular raw foodist washes with it! Beekeepers ask neighbors to not use pesticides, etc - often trading honey for it. They also collect wild hives that might otherwise be destroyed by homeowners or businesses. Don't deny yourself health benefits-do some research, then decide.

Where are the dry ingredients from and what is the first one added? He says it so fast, it's tough to hear.

I loved the video, but here's my 2 cents on the bee discussion. I took a bee course with a local keeper who educates people about the dangers to bees (wild and kept -esp about lawn care products), how large scale beekeepers drive hives around the country in winter to pollinate the foods we depend on! At a vegan wkshop I was told that beekeepers kill their bees each year by taking all their honey.TOTAL MISINFORMATION. As fruits & veg depend on bees, aren't vegans insect dependent? Bees go, we go!

beautiful and yummy!!

Oh definitely! I don't eat refined sugar so the only sweentener I use is light RAW agave nectar. The reason that I sometimes put raw honey in my smoothies and such is because of the incredible longvity and healing properties it contains. I'm a firm believer in something David Wolfe said: "Wanna heal the environment? Heal the environmentalist". If I'm feeling great, I can do that much more to help the animals have better lives. A little honey does that for me. & you're right there r vegan condoms

mrjimmypayjo: Ever tried agave nectar (dark & light)? It's so tasty. When you do you won't need honey again, but the bees always will. Please dont take this as criticism but unlike some things you mentioned honey is really easy to avoid and that's what being a vegan is really about- minimize use of animals and suffering as much as possible. Since we're part of a society based on animal use & abuse, it's impossible to be 100% vegan. But lets do the possible. :) (btw, there are vegan condoms! ;))

well after all a label is not something that I'm concerned with. However, as for being missinformed about harming bees in production of honey, I'm not quite sure I am misinformed. My grandfather was a bee keeper so I'd know how it's done quite well.

> all those things would be considered non-
> vegan if you're so adamant about it
As I said, what is vegan and what is not is defined by the Vegan Society. They set some simple, MINIMUM requirements that one must meet to call themselves vegan. And honey is explicitely listed as a no-no. And if you really think honey can be produced without putting harm to bees, you may simply be misinformed. However it is great that you live in general an animal rights aware way of life!

oh yeah I do have a vegan lifestyle as well. but jeez man I really hope you'll get our of your box one day. for your own sake. The last of my concerns is weather you call me vegan or not. I know that my lifestyle is not contributing to animal suffering, and as an activist I feel I help them a great deal too.
Do u use condoms? Does ur girl use birth control? Do u date a non vegan? Do u support only vegan businesses? all those things would be considered non-vegan if you're so adamant about it.

This or maple syrup (but as far as I know agave is far more environment-friendly).

You can call your diet anything BUT vegan. Vegan is a protected word which is defined solely by the Vegan Society UK to give a RELIABLE guideline in CONTRAST to all the "but" cases! Also, vegan is not a diet. It is a philosophy and lifestyle. You can have an "almost animal-products-free" diet etc, and as a vegan your "diet" is of course also vegan. However, honey is NOT vegan, period.
