vegan housecleaning
http://www.vegetariantimes.com/magazine/view.asp?article=647
I'm on a hunt for exciting vegan food, given as we have one coming to dinner. And I encounter this article. Basically it seems to advise using vegan-type cleaning products on the basis that some ordinary cleaners are highly toxic. Some cleaners can apparently produce chlorine, which can apparently kill you (and if you don't die, you're for sure going to end up a nervous wreck with cancer). I'm not sure what the vegan replacement for bleach is, though. They don't suggest an alternative, and antiseptic essential oils probably aren't going to cut it.
It's also very hard trying to do something that the Atkins AND the vegan can eat, given that we don't have any tofu. So I thought I'd look at vegan sites, and the ones I've found so far either seem to think that raw food is much better, or they call for things like "nutritional wheat flakes" (sounds gross), or they're just ordinary recipes that use soy milk, meat and cheese, and I don't need some fancy-pants vegan recipe to tell me that I can make vegan lasagne using vegan meat and vegan cheese. Duh.
