And that’s a wrap, for now…

by Jason on April 7, 2008

As of April 7, 2008, TasteBetter.com is going on hiatus. The site will stay online, and the Vegan Booze Directory will continue to be updated, but regular updates will cease for the time being while the publisher takes a break and works on developing some new perspectives on activism, both online and off.

Thanks to everyone who had a part, however small, in nearly 7 years of online adventures here on The Better and VP before that. I’ve learned a lot and really enjoyed collaborating with you. If you want to stay in touch, the contact form still works, and if you subscribe to the newsletter you’ll be in the loop for what I’m up to when I come back (but I’m looking forward to some time off, so if you’re planning on waiting eagerly by your inbox, pack a great vegan lunch or two.)

Thanks,
Jason

I really enjoyed doing this interview, particularly where they said “…it’s in direct alignment with how we live, so it’s not something that we felt was a burden to do, it’s exciting for us to find these things for ourselves and then share these things with others.” There are all kinds of great opportunities out there for people to match what they do for a living with how they live every day, and I got a great feeling talking with these two. Check it out and see how it all comes down.

Vegan University: What’s the Deal with Honey?

April 3, 2008

Hooo boy, back when we had a forum this was one of those things where you needed a pair of fireproof underwear, but here we go: Laura’s just gone and done it: what’s the deal with honey?
I’ll admit, I didn’t understand the honey thing at first, and eventually went along with it as part of [...]
