IAM VEGAN PANCAKE DAY
Hello Everyone!
Today is PANCAKE Day! And your thinking “But Milk and Eggs are a Cruel and Unhealthy Product” and yes your correct so here at IAMJOY we have found you this awesome Vegan Pancake Recipe
From Sarah over in peta2 UK
http://blog.peta2.com/2009/02/vegan_pancake_day.html?c=923f
What you will need:
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon of “No Egg” (or equivalent) mixed with water, as directed on the packet
1 cup soya milk (or try rice or oat milk)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Set out your ingredients and combine the dry ingredients in a bowl, and then add the soya milk (or rice milk in my case!) and vegetable oil to the mixture. Warm a pan up with a little bit of cooking oil whilst whisking up the mixture. Spoon one pancake’s worth of mixture into the pan. Once there are bubbles in the middle of the pancake, or the edges have stiffened—flip it over to cook the other side
Truth about Milk and Eggs
http://www.goveg.com/whatsWrong.asp
Milk Facts
* Like all female mammals, cows produce milk for one reason—to feed their own babies.
* Veal is a “byproduct” of the dairy industry. Male calves are taken from their mothers within a day of birth; all calves raised to become veal are the children of dairy cows
* “Organic” dairy farms are often even worse than conventional dairy farms: Mother cows are still forcibly impregnated and forced to live mired in dirt and feces, and their babies are still taken from them. Also, organic farms don’t always treat sick animals because medications would prevent them from being able to sell the milk as organic. Instead, they often simply keep sick and physically compromised animals around so that their milk can be sold to conventional dairies.
* Researchers have shown that dairy-product consumption can lead to ailments including asthma, acne, diabetes, and even osteoporosis. Learn more about cow’s milk consumption and human illness.
Egg Facts
* Chickens’ eggs are the byproduct of a chicken’s “menstrual” cycle. If fertilized, they would produce baby chicks.
* Male chicks are worthless to the egg industry, so every year millions of them are tossed into trash bags to suffocate or are thrown alive into high-speed grinders called “macerators.”1
* Egg-laying hens are all eventually slaughtered for their flesh. Their weak and emaciated bodies are made into soup or dog and cat food, or they are fed back to other chickens.
* “Free-range” eggs are a marketing ploy—the free-range label is not subject to any USDA regulations, so “free-range” chickens endure miserable conditions, just as all animals used for food do.2
