The Lucky Lobsters

September 2nd, 2011 · 2 Comments · Books

Review By JESSICA ALMY Life isn’t so lucky for most lobsters. Snatched from their habitats, they are kept in crowded tanks until they’re bought and boiled alive. Given new evidence that despite their simple nervous systems, lobsters may feel pain and I think you’d be hard pressed to find any human who’d be willing to trade [...]

Baby Whales Drink Milk

July 17th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Books

Review By CAROLYN M. MULLIN I wouldn’t normally review a series-based publication, like those of the “Let’s-Read-And-Find-Out Science” compilation (although many of their titles are quite interesting), but this particular one is dietary ammunition in a vegan parent’s bookshelf. Drinking milk, particularly cows’ lacteal secretions, past infancy has become a given in human society. Looking [...]

I’m a Vegetarian

April 14th, 2010 · No Comments · Books

Review By JACQUELINE BODNAR Not many books about vegetarianism are aimed specifically at the younger crowd. But I’m a Vegetarian: Amazing Facts and Ideas for Healthy Vegetarians by Ellen Schwartz does just that, being a book about vegetarianism specifically written for those ages 9-12. If you have a child in this age group, it may be a good idea [...]
