VEGANSKINNYBITCH LARABAR GIVEAWAY
Yes, everyone, finally my first giveaway. I have so many mini Larabars that is simply cruel and crazy for me to keep them all to myself.
My petition to get CLIF & Company to boycott palm oil has come to a halt at just shy of 300 signatures. I was really hoping, because I have such a large base of compassionate followers, that word of this would have spread pretty fast. BUT IF I HAVE TO GIVE YOU SNACKS TO SAVE THE WORLD, BY GOLLY I WILL GIVE YOU SNACKS.
The rules are simple: whoever gets the most REBLOGS out of this by the time it reaches 700 signatures will win 30 FREE MINI PB&J LARABARS.
Oh my god, you KNOW you want them so badly.
They contain/are:
no gluten
no soy
raw
kosher!
non-GMO
only 100 calories
dates, peanuts, unsweetened cherries, and salt. 
I say by the time we reach 700 signatures because I’m hoping that those who reblog will sign. Another contest/giveaway will take place when 700 signatures have been reached :)
Off you go!

Make sure to sign the petition, please. You already know how to be activists with your food choices. Let the people at Clif Bar know that you do too.

Good looking out, VSB!

The 3rd LA Vegan Beer & Food Festival is happening this spring, and it’s going to be the biggest and best one yet. The fest has been moved across the street from The Roxy so we can fit in more beer and food than ever before.
More details coming soon! For now, save the date: May 12th, 2012!
Presented by The Roxy, Tony’s Darts Away and Quarrygirl
Proceeds to benefit California Wildlife Center 

I can’t wait to go to this again, last year was AWESOME! Who else is planning on going this year?

YOU GAIS! The second annual Vegan Pizza Day is just five short days away!

… 157 days away!  (Yeah, yeah, so Vegan Pizza Day has been rescheduled.  But I’ve been planning this week’s festivities for months and don’t  really wanna cancel last minute, so let’s have our own pizza party  anyway, mkay? We’ll call it “Early Vegan Pizza Day.” Or “Old Vegan Pizza  Day.” Or “The Vegan Pizza Day That Was,” for the Browncoats in the  house! Just replace “Vegan Pizza Day” with your favorite alternative for  the duration of this post.)
I don’t know about y’all, but I’m too excited to wait for the weekend June 28th! That’s why we’ll be celebrating Vegan Pizza Day ALL WEEK LONG here on fuck yeah vegan pizza!  And by “celebrating,” I mean with PIZZA and PRIZES! From now through  next Monday afternoon, share your vegan pizza photos with us for a  chance to win one (OF THREE!) vegan prize packages stuffed with  everything you need to throw your very own vegan pizza party!
We’ve got swag from all the biggest names in vegan pizza eats: Daiya.  Tofurky. Lightlife. Gardein. Upton’s Naturals. Tofutti. AND MORE! There  will be buttons, and t-shirts, and tote bags – and more free nomz than  you can wag your tongue at!
To enter, simply share with us a photo or video of your Vegan Pizza Day Week eats from now until next Monday, January 30th at 12 noon (US  Central time). From these entries, three winners will be randomly chosen  to receive a superginormamegalicious vegan pizza prize package!
Due to shipping costs and product availability, this contest is only  open to residents of the United States and Canada – but we also have a  separate, equally awesome giveaway for our readers in the United  Kingdom!
Keep reading for the deets!

The Prizes
Three winners will be randomly chosen to receive a vegan pizza prize package containing the following:
- One awesome Tofurky prize  pack that includes a coupon for a free Tofurky brand frozen pizza with  Daiya cheese (expiration date: 4/20/13), as well as Tofurky buttons,  stickers, temporary tattoos – and a pizza cutter, to boot! Your friends  will be jealous. (I know I am!)
- One coupon for a free 8oz bag of Daiya shredded cheese (exp: 12/31/12). Also: a Daiya window decal, so you can  share your love of vegan cheese with your friends, neighbors, mail  person, parking attendant, and random strangers!
- Five coupons for one free Lightlife item (exp: 7/31/12; maximum retail value $6 per coupon). To sweeten the  deal, the nice folks at Lifgtlife also threw in a totally adorable tote  bag to help you haul off all the free goodies you just scored! (The  print is similar to the background image on their Twitter page. Like I was saying, ADORABLE.)
- One coupon for a free Gardein product, refrigerated or frozen (no expiration date; max value $4.99).  Would you like some chicken wings to go with that pizza, madam?
- Two coupons for one free Nasoya item (exp: 12/31/12; max value $3.99 per coupon).* Take the tofu, put it on a pizza! (Ditto: the hummus!)
- Two VIP Certificates for one free Tofutti brand product (no expiration date; max value $3.99).* Tofutti, does a  body good! (Seriously I grew up on Tofutti brand products!)
- One coupon for a free package of Field Roast Sausages (exp. 12/31/12; max value $7.99). Also, to spread your love of vegan  sausages far and wide, a Field Roast tee! (We have one black women’s  shirt, size large; one ash gray unisex M; and one sky blue unisex XL up  for grabs. First to respond gets first dibs!) I especially love the back  of the shirt, which offers a veg-friendly definition of “meat.”
- One package each of active dry yeast (8 ounces) and hard white whole wheat flour (24 ounces) from Bob’s Red Mill. The flour is organic and non-GMO!
- One rockin’ mustache logo tee from Upton’s Naturals. (They make seitan, yo!) Celebrate Movember all year long, vegan styley! Winner picks the size after the contest closes.
- Last but not least, I’ve thrown in a few small surprise gifts to  show y’all how much I appreciate you! Spoiler alert! There will be  keychains, and buttons (Two from The Radical Uprise!  See if you can guess which!), and a sticker activity book. (Make your  own pizza any time! I KNOW RIGHT!) You may even find a mix tape or two,  because I am totes the pizza romantic.
Seriously, I’m blown away by the love and support tumblr has shown  this tiny little blog. (You love vegan pizza, you really love vegan  pizza!) You guys are da bomb!

Also, many thanks to Tofurky, Daiya, Lightlife, Gardein, Nasoya,  Tofutti, Field Roast, Bob’s Red Mill, and Upton’s Naturals for  sponsoring this giveaway. YOU ROCK!
[* Prize package #3 is slightly different in that it contains ONE Nasoya coupon and THREE Tofutti coupons. FYI!]
Contest Rules & Regs
1. You don’t need to be vegan to enter, but your pizza does! Entries  must include a photo or video of a vegan pizza (or pizza-esque dish)  that you’ve eaten in the week leading up to Vegan Pizza Day. (Please, be  courteous and don’t include any non-vegan items in the photo, mkay?)  Additional submission guidelines are available on the “submit” page. (Stating the obvious, this is also where you can submit your entry!)
2. Please just submit each pizza once. If you have multiple photos of  one pizza you’d like to share (Maybe you’re the artsy type? Ain’t  nothing wrong with that!), please include all the photos in one entry.  If you make multiple pizzas at once, be sure to photograph and submit  them separately, or else they’ll be counted as a single entry.
3. So as not to encourage binge eating, I’m capping the maximum  number of entries at four per person. Of course, you can still submit  more than four posts over the course of the week, but only the first  four will be entered into the contest.
4. You do not need to have a tumblr account to enter! The submission page allows for submissions with a valid email address in addition to those  made using a tumblr account. If you’d rather not use tumblr’s interface,  you can email your entry to me at easyvegan@gmail.com.
5. If you’re submitting an entry via tumblr, make sure your ask is  enabled so that I’ve a way of contacting you. If you’re submitting via  email, please add easyvegan@gmail.com to your address book. I must be able to make contact  with you!
6. This contest is only open to residents of the United States and  Canada – but we also have a separate giveaway for our readers in the  United Kingdom! (International readers, don’t hate me! I’m still working  on arranging some giveaways for you!)
7. Please note your country of residence in your submission(s). This  one’s important, folks! Since I’m running two giveaways at once, I need  to know which one you’re entering! If your submission doesn’t include  this info, I may contact you for clarification and hold your post in the  queue until I have the necessary info.
8. The contest closes on Monday, January 30th at 12PM US Central  time. (That’s 1PM Eastern, 10AM Pacific.) I will choose and announce a  winner shortly thereafter. The winner has 72 hours to respond with a  valid US or Canadian mailing address – after which time I’ll randomly  choose another winner.
9. HAVE FUN WITH IT!
Questions? Drop ‘em in the ask box!
HAPPY VEGAN PIZZA DAY WEEK EVERYONE!

Paula Deen has type-2 Diabetes but no diet changes?
My input on the truth of her diagnosis and the greedy choices she has made since then. A vegan diet is shown to have helped diabetics become healthier and lose weight! I am hoping her fans see that they cannot follow in the same path as her, so make sure to share this with everyone!
