Weekly Meal Plan: Portable Vegan Meals You Can Eat On the Go! - One Green Planet

A pair of French biologists have broken down the final frontier in the surge towards veganism.

Students Philippine Soulres and Sheryline Thavisouk decided to take advantage of the booming market for vegan alternatives as part of a project at Paris' Ecole de Biologie Industrielle. Deciding to focus on the notoriously hard to replicate egg, which features in a host of foods as a binding agent.

The duo created Les Merveilloeufs - a play on 'merveilleux' meaning marvellous and 'oeufs' translating as eggs - making for an egg replacement that looks as well as acts like the hen's egg it mimics.

"Veganism is booming," Philippine told French daily Le Monde(translated from French).

Sheryline added: "We realized that what was missing most in vegan people's daily food was the egg, a food that can be found in every meal, from breakfast to dinner, in sweet and savory dishes. We decided to make one."

The recipe of their vegan-friendly egg remains under wraps, telling Le Monde that it contains vegetable and mineral materials.

It took more than 50 test recipes and three years to reach a stage where the product was recognisable in its current form as something consumers would want from an egg, the creators said.

Despite their egg alternative being completely free of hens and cocks, they've managed to maintain a remarkable likeness to an egg, with a distinct white and yolk, setting it apart from competitors that replicate only one functionality. For example, Oggs made with aquafaba are designed for use in baking, while Just's egg replacer is made with mung beans and comes mixed, ready to scramble.

Les Merveilloeufs even come in their own shells.

Soulres and Thavisouk decided to make a business out of their idea, partnering with incubator programme Station F. Now, ready to burst onto the market, the pair are highlighting that anyone can become and entrepreneur, and there's no fixed mould.

HomeBusiness InsidersJade Berman: 2019 and the Rise of Vegan Ethics in Dog Care Jade Berman

Dog training and the vegan sector dont often overlap. Thats where Jade Bermans company comes in it is her aim to bring veganism into the world of dog training through education and the use of plant-based treats for training.

Below we have the pleasure of hosting a guest post from Londons vegan dog trainer, discussing 2019 and the rise in the effect of veganism in the relationships between dogs and humans.

2019: The Year Dog World Embraced Veganism

In 2019 we have seen a massive rise in the number of people buying vegan products and plant-based foods in general. This increase in awareness of the many issues surrounding animal agriculture has led to people being more conscious about what they are feeding to their canine companions. There are new companies producing vegan dog food and treats, which are slowly starting to make their way into the market.

This year, there are also more people who are choosing to use the words companion rather than pet and guardian rather than owner. This indicates a shift in perspective and a widening of consciousness about not only these amazing animals with whom we share our homes and our lives but also animals in general. Veganism, as we know, is a way of life where we exclude all forms of animal exploitation or use of any kind. Sometimes dogs get overlooked in this.

With my company, I only use plant-based treats for training. Through the use of my language and my approach to training, I am able to educate and help people to really connect to their dogs so they see them as the individuals they truly are. I have had a fantastic response from my clients with regard to their willingness, openness and interest in not only using my plant-based treats during our training sessions but also in switching from using mainly animal-based ones. This year there is definitely an increase in people who are more ethically conscious about the dog food they are buying as well as how they approach their lives with their dogs.

The highlights of 2019 have definitely been my lovely clients who are enthusiastic about moving away from using animal products for training.

I am confident that the market will continue to grow in 2020 and we will see even more companies making vegan dog food and treats, which will make their way into the mainstream. This variety in the market will make it easier for dog trainers and our customers to use plant-based foods for training. My company is planning to carry out more educational workshops for people in 2020 as well as starting up training classes in my local community. The focus is always on helping dogs to be as happy as possible. My Dog Training Club is a place for dogs and humans to thrive in balance and harmony.

Unlike the one-time NBA champion behind the sneaker, the Nike Kyrie 6 is not welcoming the last month of the decade on the sidelines, as it is dropping in yet another concept-driven colorway dubbed the Enlightenment edition. Outfitted in a dark-purple engineered mesh and suede upper, this latest iteration of Irvings sixth signature sneaker with the Swoosh presents the heel eye graphic in a gum-pink color, making the symbol more visible at different angles to toy with the idea of perspective. The hits of yellow, red, green, and blue found on the tongue logo, lace holders, and outsole are inspired by camera light filters used to change images and films, and thus alter perception. Check out a complete store list below to see where these are dropping, and expect them to release in full family sizes on Nike.com and at affiliated retailers on December 7 for $130 (adults), $80 (kids), and $55 (infants).

"The gift of sight can be blinding," Paris (Alfre Woodard) had ominously told Haniwa (Nesta Cooper) and Kofun (Archie Madekwe) in the previous episode of 'See', as they approached Jerlamarel's House Of Enlightenment.

And the children learn the meaning behind her words in this gripping episode, titled 'House Of Enlightenment'. Jerlamarel's House of Enlightenment is reminiscent of the witch's house in the age-old cautionary tale of 'Hansel and Gretel'.

While the witch's house was covered in chocolates, candies, cakes and other sweet things to entice two lost and hungry children, Jerlamarel's 'civilized' house possesses the same amount of fascination for Haniwa and Kofun.

Apart from finding a father who had never looked in their direction for 17 years, the twins are in awe of the facilities available to them.

Indeed, they seem to have entered a new era of knowledge, as they grasp the concept of a hot shower, different clothes that include shirts and trousers, as well as books.

Jerlamarel, like any good host, takes them around the house and introduces them to his children, who also possess the gift of sight, unlike the normal dystopian world Haniwa and Kofun have grown up in.

The house possesses practically everything from our modern world. The land of milk and honey, or is it?

While Haniwa is willing to give this new world a chance, Kofun still misses Baba Voss (Jason Momoa), the father who took care of him all these years, rather than their biological father.

The viewer knows that it can't be this easy, and the discomfort slowly seeps in, especially at Jerlamarel's overtly enthusiastic welcome and fondness. And sure enough, events begin to spiral radically out of control.

Betrayal becomes the order of the day. Kofun can also helplessly stare as he faces separation from Haniwa. Though Baba Voss comes in to save the day, even he is not able to salvage much apart from a gruesome Game Of Throne-esque murder.

However, hope is not lost, and the episode ends with Baba, Paris and Kofun finding a small chance of being reunited with Haniwa again.

While this drama is taking place, Tamacti Jun (Christian Camargo) entrusts Maghra (Hera Hilmar) with an uneasy task: Convince Kane (Sylvia Hoeks) to abdicate the throne.

A fool's fantasy, Kane reminds her. In her haze of delusional grandeur, Kane says that it is all god's will. Ironically Kane makes the revealing statement, "There is no succession, there is no majesty, no legitmacy, there's just a petty lie, agreed upon by petty people." What a hard-hitting statement.

If Maghra must defy god's will, then she must do the honorable thing of "picking up a knife" and taking what is hers. Maghra echoes what we've all been thinking, "God's law, god's words, god's choice, it's amazing how they all align with whatever you want at any given time."

And later in the episode, the tables are quickly turned, and Kane makes a decision that is in her favor again. There's a hint of a very uncomfortable union ahead, if Maghra allows it, that is.

Another point to note is Maghra has still not forgotten her family in the least and has something planned for them. That would be an interesting meeting, considering that they believe she is dead.

While the action scenes are always thrilling to watch, 'See' delivers the best performances, when it is surrounded by silence. With its facade of paradise, false cheer and seeming subservience, the episode could best be described as an uneasy itch that slowly devolves into a rash.

The performances by Kane and Maghra with its undertones of tension and resentment are the highlight of the episode.Episode 8 of 'See' released on Apple TV on December 6.

'See' Episode 8 Review: Haniwa and Kofun bear the price of enlightenment in this dark episode - MEAWW

The Cheffe, by Marie NDiaye, translated from the French by Jordan Stump (Knopf). At the heart of this novel is a character study of a brilliant chef, filtered through the perception of her most obsessive disciple, a much younger man to whom she is fairy godmother, mother, and beloved. His attraction propels a spiralling family psychodrama, whose richness and suspense are surpassed by those of scenes depicting the chefs exquisite inventions, from a signature green-robed leg of lamb to sweet crabmeat poached in absinthe. NDiaye creates an arresting portrait of a self-effacing genius, as the chef yearns to leave only a vague, marveling recollection in the eaters minds... only a dish, or just its name, or its scent, or three bold, forthright colors on a milky white plate.

Mary Toft; or, The Rabbit Queen, by Dexter Palmer (Pantheon). In a small English village at the dawn of the Age of Enlightenment, a woman named Mary Toft gives birth to a dismembered rabbit every few days. Whether her plight is a medical miracle, an elaborate hoax, or a shared moment of collective delusion is the conundrum of this frolicsome period comedy. The young surgeon who cares for Toft becomes renowned as an expert in human-leporine midwifing, and, when word of Toft reaches King Georges court, she is summoned with the surgeon and his apprentice to London, where they become entwined in the bizarre and barbarous world of the upper classa visit that exposes the chasm between provincial innocence and metropolitan cunning.

Parisian Lives, by Deirdre Bair (Nan A. Talese). The author of this sparkling memoir achieved two of the greatest coups in literary biography: writing a semi-authorized life of Samuel Beckett, which the gnomic Irishman promised to neither help nor hinder, and a life of Simone de Beauvoir, which was based on interviews conducted immediately before the philosophers death. Bair spent seven years on Beckett and ten on Beauvoir, and her dedication to her subjects is apparent. Into her accounts of working with these eminent, often exasperating writers she weaves recollections of malfunctioning tape recorders, grandstanding sources, and her travails as a professional and a mother commuting across the Atlantic, working in a field dominated by men.

Medieval Bodies, by Jack Hartnell (Norton). Elegantly combining strands from the histories of medicine, art, and religion, this study explores how the medieval world understood and treated the human body. In the late Middle Ages, medicine sought natural as well as mystical causes for all manner of afflictions, making diagnosis a complex affair (stringy hair, for instance, might indicate an unscrupulous character, while baldness resulted from an excess of heat). Focussing on Byzantium, the Islamic world, and the patchwork of kingdoms constituting western and central Europe, Hartnell deftly shows how these societies visual cultures were, like their medical theories, profoundly influenced by a symbolic understanding of humanitys relationship to realms seen and unseen.

Byron Katie has said When someone loves what is, she makes use of anything life happens to bring her way, because she doesnt con herself anymore. Katies own life is a testament to this statement. In 1986, at the bottom of a ten-year spiral into depression, rage and self-loathing, she woke up one morning to a state of joy that has never left her. She realized that when she believed her stressful thoughts, she suffered, but that when she questioned them, she didnt suffer, and that this is true fo every human being. Her simple yet powerful process of inquiry is called The Work.

Katie has been bringing The Work to millions of people for more than thirty years. Her public events, workshops, intensives, School for The Work and Turnaround House have brought freedom to people all over the world. Her books include the bestselling Loving What Is and A Mind At Home With Itself. To discover all about The Work and so much more, enjoy the videos below.

It was claimed Immanuel Kants routine was so predictable his neighbours could set their clocks by his daily walk.

Born in 1724 in the Prussian town of Knigsberg (now Kaliningrad, Russia), Kant had a strict education and traditional Protestant upbringing. At 16, he enrolled at university to study philosophy.

After a time working as a tutor and lecturer, in 1770 Kant was appointed Professor of Logic and Metaphysics at the University of Knigsberg. He never married, and seems never to have left his home town again after 1754.

But from this small Prussian town, his ideas spread to influence science, religion, politics and art to this day.

During Kants lifetime, people believed God had created us to understand the world perfectly. But the rise of modern science challenged this view.

In Critique of Pure Reason (1781), Kant argued the way the world seems is not an accurate reflection of how it really is.

He said our minds create a picture of the world based on what we perceive through our senses. Knowledge is not simply a representation of external reality: it is a construction.

This was a new and controversial idea. It implied that, since we cannot experience God through the senses, we cannot know that God exists we can only have faith in his existence.

In a still largely Christian Europe, Kant was censored for these views. In 1793, the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm II threatened Kant with punishment if he published further on religion.

Despite censorship, questioning of God remained central to Kants work.

In Critique of Practical Reason (1788), Kant asked how we know what we should do. Through faith in God, he said, we have access to a moral law that tells us how to act.

At the centre of Kants ethical theory was the categorical imperative: we must always act in such a way that we believe would be just under a universal law.

Perhaps it is easiest to understand this as a version of the golden rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Kant wanted to understand the natural world, but he was also curious about how it makes us feel. In Critique of Judgement (1790), Kant wondered why people found gardens and pastoral settings beautiful, while mountains and the night sky invoked a frightened awe he called the sublime.

Kant believed we experience terror in the face of nature when it reminds us of our own small and fleeting place on earth. Kants theory of the sublime inspired a generation of artists in awe of the mysterious powers of nature.

Many of Kants ideas are now outdated.

Kant believed that certain differences between people are innate. In On the Different Human Races (1775), he argued there is only one human species but people of different races have different inborn characteristics and abilities.

These ideas helped to establish a pseudo-scientific basis for racism, which was used to justify colonial oppression and genocide.

By considering European societies as the ideal model of human development, Kant argued that not all races were capable of achieving the same level of civilization as European ones. This aspect of Kants thinking reveals how racism has historically been deeply entangled with the concept of civilization.

Kant was a public intellectual who wrote for a broad audience. As more people became educated and literate, a public sphere emerged in which people engaged in reasoned debate: the age of Enlightenment.

The term Enlightenment was first used in 18th century France, but Kant gave us the classic definition. In An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment? (1784), Kant wrote that Enlightenment was about people thinking freely for themselves - rather than relying on authorities.

Although Kant believed in free speech, he was not a democrat. In the Enlightenment essay, he praised the institution of monarchy, and was quick to condemn the violence of revolutions.

Kant believed that political freedom would increase through gradual historical progress rather than through revolution. In Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch (1795), he imagined a future secured by an international federation of republics.

We are far from the future of perpetual peace Kant imagined, but his ideas are still relevant for thinking through modern challenges.

His theory of knowledge still broadly underpins modern science. When scientists create models, they understand that these are representations not the real thing.

Kants theory of the sublime can help us to understand why climate change provokes such strong feelings in us: it makes us reflect on our own transience.

His ideas about Enlightenment influence debates about education and free speech, and his concept of international federalism can be seen in the United Nations.

Many scholars and activists still appeal to Kant to understand the origins of some of our most faulty and deeply entrenched ideas about race.

Finally, in a time of tightening borders, Kants concepts of world citizenship and universal hospitality can provoke us to think critically about peace, migration, and international relations.

This past August, the New York Times released the 1619 Project, a compendium of journalism and poetry examining the 400 years since enslaved Africans arrived on American soil.

The multimedia project has been widely lauded as the first mainstream journalism to reframe American history, centering the arrival of those first few dozens of enslaved Africans. Now, in partnership with the Pulitzer Center, the work at the core of the project is making its way into classrooms across the country including many here in the D.C. region.

But critics argue the project is biased, incomplete, or even incorrect in its thesis. You could say the same thing about the English common law, for example, or the use of the English language, argued a such critic in New York Magazine. You could say that about the Enlightenment. Or the climate. You could say that Americas unique existence as a frontier country bordered by lawlessness is felt even today in every mass shooting. You could cite the death of countless millions of Native Americans by violence and disease as something that defines all of us in America but that would be to engage in a liberal inquiry into our past, teasing out the nuances.

New York Times staff writer Nikole Hannah-Jones, who led the project, says every component was thoroughly fact-checked and verified to ensure the arguments were sound. But the core question of whether a retelling of history can ever be really complete remains especially when studies show so few American students are taught much of anything about slavery.

Well learn more about the 1619 Project and curriculum from a local journalist, then hear from a high school teacher whos used the material and a college professor who has pushed back against it.

Editors note: This is part two in a series of four articles exploring the causes of and ways to combat winter blues. The focus of the series is on mental health and strategies for improving your state of mind through physical activity, spirituality, diet and community and connections.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS Wherever you find your spirituality, research shows that finding that connection that meaning can provide a buffer against depression.

For whatever struggles or loss someone might be facing, the holidays can be an especially difficult time, said Dr. Jo Ann Grace the spiritual health care coordinator and bereavement counselor for Northwest Colorado Healths hospice program. People may inside feel really sad but are caught between everyone being joyful its a paradox of emotions that can happen at the same time.

Whether or not you worship a god or take part in an organized religion, Grace said, Its about connections, relationships, spirituality and how you are finding meaning in the midst of the holiday season.

For some, especially living in a place surrounded by spectacular natural beauty, that connection to something larger or sense of deep gratitude, awe and peace can be found on a mountaintop or at the edge of a pristine lake.

Nature is one of the most underutilized treasures in life. It has the power to unburden hearts and reconnect to that inner place of peace, wrote Dr. Janice Anderson and Kiersten Anderson in their book Off Beat Enlightenment, which focuses on different ways to find inner peace, health and happiness.

The quest for spirituality and meaning can be one that is ever-evolving, ever-growing and change throughout a persons life.

Where do you look for this hope that you know is there? Bob Dylan queried in his poem, Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie. You can either go to the church of your choice/ Or you can go to Brooklyn State Hospital.

That spiritual quest and search for meaning gets at thinking about what it means to be human, said Grace. And connection where you can make those connections that allows you to be most fully yourself.

Grace is also a neuroscientist, helping people in her private practice to understand the connections between the brain, body and spirit.

In her work, Grace has found that when people are in a period of grief, they can find relief by focusing on what they most value and where they feel free and fully engaged whether that be worshipping a god, practicing yoga, digging in the garden or riding a horse.

And in addition to the individual component, theres also a communal component, she said. Our brain needs to connect to a tribe.

In the study of the Blue Zones, the locations across the globe with the highest percentage of centenarians, several of the top keys to longevity are finding a sense of purpose, belonging to a community and the nurturing of ones religion or spirituality.

The Blue Zone research attributed physical and mental benefits to spirituality.

People who pay attention to their spiritual side have lower rates of cardiovascular disease, depression, stress and suicide, and their immune systems seem to work better. To a certain extent, adherence to a religion allows them to relinquish the stresses of everyday life to a higher power, said Dan Buettner, Blue Zones founder.

Religiosity and spirituality have been shown to cause changes in the brain, such as increasing serotonin.

There is also an increasing amount of research on the benefits of the practice of meditation and mindfulness being fully aware of the moment to both physical and mental health and combatting the blues.

Meditation trains the brain to achieve sustained focus and to return to that focus when negative thinking, emotions and physical sensations intrude which happens a lot when you feel stressed and anxious, according to Dr. John W. Denninger, director of research at the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine.

On Thursday, Dec. 12, Grace is co-facilitating the Blue Christmas service at 6 p.m. at St Pauls Episcopal Church in Steamboat Springs.

It is a nondenominational service to support individuals who are grieving or feeling down this holiday season.

The service is a chance for people to gather together, write a name or message on a star and hang it on a tree, light a candle and honor a person or honor the self and recognize the transition you are going through, Grace said. And recognize you are not by yourself other people are going through similar experiences.
