I was at a bonfire the other day and I was thinking about how I much I missed roasting marshmallows. Most marshmallows contain gelatin (aka - crushed up animal bones), which is disgusting!

Then I came to work and found out that we have a vegan marshmallow making kit to give away! I know there are others like me out there who are jonesing for some summertime marshmallow roasting action, and today is your lucky day!

Amy, who writes PETA's VegCooking Blog, tested the kit out and gave it rave reviews. She says the instructions are pretty simple, but you do need some special tools, namely a candy thermometer and a standing mixer. Check out the chocolate-marshmallow sandwich she made:


Want to make your own? One lucky person with a sweet tooth will win this kit from Angel Foods. Comment below with what you will do with the vegan marshmallows if you win!

This contest ends May 23, 2008 and the winner will be chosen and notified by May 30, 2008.

We love creativity just as much as we love kind people. Combine that and you get rad results. For instance, check out this comic that Erb sent us.

And while we're discussing the amazing work of the peta2 Street Team, check out this video and this one, too.

Those are just some of the many awesome entries we've received for the video contest. You still have plenty of time to make your own video, so do it and enter to win. Remember that Moby will be helping to pick the winner, and the prize at stake is a chicken costume (among some other things).

Free Stuff Friday: Vegan Chocolate for Mom! April 25, 2008

Mother's Day is May 11th, and it's time to sing the praises of moms everywhere. Here are some facts about animal moms that are too amazing to keep to myself:

• Mother pigs have been known to sing to their piglets during feeding
• Cow moms take turns babysitting for each other
• Mama cows have been known to jump fences and travel for miles looking for their calf if they are separated
• Fish moms use their mouths to hide their babies from harm
• Elephant moms maintain constant touch with their children, never allowing them to stray too far
• Chickens "talk" to their chicks before they hatch

One way to show your mom (and animal moms everywhere) some love this Mother's Day is to give her PETA's Mother's Day chocolate gift box!



This is some fine vegan Belgian chocolate: 4 sheets of nut chocolate (2 dark almond sheets, 1 vegan milk almond sheet, and 1 vegan milk pecan sheet), 6 assorted nut chocolate clusters, and 2 peanut butter cups—all topped off with another 21 mixed créme and solid chocolate pieces. This is seriously making my mouth water.

Want to give your mom one of these without paying a dime? One winner will be able to do just that! To win, comment below with why your animal-loving mom deserves this amazing gift!

This contest ends May 2, 2008 and the winner will be chosen and notified the same day!

PS - I really don't know how anyone could do this to animals when we know these remarkable things about them.
