One of our resident vegan code poets (sir Joshua) just let me know that our friends at Vegan Outreach have joined.
Obviously, our choice on the foods we consume is a highly personal decision (and part of a much longer discussion), but I have a great deal of respect for the passionate work the folks over at Vegan Outreach are doing and want to officially welcome them aboard! (Their materials were instrumental in my decision to become vegan...)
And, here's an interesting chat from ~C4Chaos' blog on one aspect of that longer discussion (and I couldn't agree more with Pavlina's comments here):
FDA OKs Food From Cloned Animals.

Steve Pavlina says: “I'm surprised to see such resistance to eating clones. If you're OK eating animals in the first place, cloning seems like it would be a relatively minor issue. If you eat anything that comes out of typical factory farms these days, you've already left nature far behind. You're swallowing a man-made chemical factory in every bite, including antibiotics, growth hormones, and pesticides. Plus you've digested enough man-made marketing to consider animal cruelty irrelevant. If you can handle that, then trying out for Fear Factor seems more congruent than worrying about cloning.” (Thanks to Jon for the link).

Yeah, it's awesome that VO joined, eh? Ayako worked closely with them (specifically Matt Ball and Jon Camp) in Pittsburgh when she was running the Integral Humane Outreach Group. So glad to have them here!
