Max recently turned one year old, and we thought we'd compile our journey over the past 6 months, introducing him to solid foods on a plant-based diet. From purees, to smoothies, to baby led weaning, we've tried it all! Hopefully you will find this video both fun and informative, and a good jumping off point to continue to do your own research. This is just our experience, and we are not experts, so be sure to educate yourself and consult your healthcare practitioner if you're a parent introducing your child to solid foods!

Plant Based News' editor Maria sat down with acclaimed journalist and recent plant-based advocate George Monbiot. Hope you enjoy - and please like, comment and subscribe!

Recently I have been receiving a lot of questions about pets. Should vegans have them? Should anyone own anyone else, human or not? Are you a hypocrite if you have pets but also fight for animal liberation?

I may be slightly biased as someone who shares my home with two wonderful adopted cats, but I'm going to jump into this question all the same.

What are your thoughts on vegans (or anyone for that matter) having pets/companion animals? Let me know in the comments below!

I've been getting a lot of questions from you guys regarding going vegan. So I invited over my friend Teshia Maher to share with me and all of you her top 10 tips on how to become a vegan.

Teshia is a talented yoga instructor and a holistic nutritionist. I absolutely enjoyed chatting with her about her experience with transitioning to a vegan diet. One of my 2014 resolutions is to go vegan. And this time I want to do it in the healthiest way possible and to ensure that I transition with ease. I found Teshia's tips so helpful and I can't wait to implement them! :)

Even if you are not considering going vegan, I highly recommend you watch this video as Teshia shares very useful nutrition advices that can be translated into any diet.

Today I want to share all my favourite vegan art materials, and also have a little chat about what type of animal products you may find in your art supplies.

"Honestly finishing these workouts while changing my diet is very concerning." Quinton loves to work out and has always thought that he needed to eat a lot of animal-based protein to see results. After seeing the documentary "The Game Changers," he decided to see what happens if he switches to eating exclusively plant-based foods and proteins.

COCONUT CURRY RECIPE:
If you do get some Taro on your hands, Peel and dice the taro and boil in a large pot. If you are using regular potatoes you don’t have to peel them.

While the taro, rice or potatoes are boiling, to make a large serving of curry, sauté a few cloves of garlic and 1 onion with about 1/4 cup of coconut milk and 2-3 tbsp of curry paste. Then add remaining desired veggies (we like cauliflower and zucchini and mushrooms) and sauté a bit more (add more coconut milk if needed to keep veggies from sticking to the pan). Then add the rest of 2-3 cans of coconut milk and season to taste with black pepper, curry, cumin, salt etc.

Serve spoonfuls of curry over potatoes, rice or taro and squeeze lots of lime on top.

**make sure when purchasing curry paste to check the ingredients. A lot of curry pastes use fish sauce but a health food shop should have a natural and vegan healthy alternative. **

A few RECOURSES AND STATS on the health and adequacy of a vegan diet for pregnancy:

Many people, especially animal lovers, choose to follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. But is it possible to make your cat a vegan? Well we have to remember that cats are devout carnivores - and our own thoughts and opinions about animal products can't really battle the years and years of evolution at play here.

There is evidence that diets with no or low levels of animal products may be better for the environment and have human health benefits. And a recent study found a growing number of pet owners are feeding their dogs and cats vegetarian or vegan diets, or would like to do so.

However, meat-free diets can potentially kill or sicken pets!

Dr. Gary Richter loves animals, and is passionate about keeping them healthy and happy as long as possible. He has received more than 30 awards due to his expertise in the field, and The American Veterinary Medical Foundation recently named Dr. Richter “America’s Favorite Veterinarian.” Dr. Richter has been at the forefront of pet nutrition for two decades, and he is also the author of the bestselling “The Ultimate Pet Health Guide.”
