It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living, by its purely physical effect on the human temperament, would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind.
—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
As long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seeds of murder and pain cannot reap the joy of love.
—Pythagoras
Humanity’s true moral test, its fundamental test…consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect humankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it.
—Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, 1984

Hi, I saw your blog in the internet when I am searching for a vegan korean recipes.
I just turned vegan & raw for almost 12 months now. I love Korean food specially the Pork Soup (Gamjatang) one.
Do you have a recipe or know a website or blog that have a vegan version of Gamjatang?
Thank you for your help, Antoniette

WOW! I’m so impressed there is a vegan Korean BLOG:)))))
Heard from friends that it was so hard to find vegetarian food over there.
We’re hoping to make some vegan korean dishes and your blog IS PERFECT!
We saw that you exchanged some vegan products with another blogger.
Was actually hoping we can do a guest blog post with you and maybe use the vegan gift exchange as the topic of our post. It’s awesome to meet and know more vegan bloggers in ASIA!! Let us know if you are keen on this after you check out our blog in your free time.
Cheers,
Roland & Priscilla
