Who doesn't love tofu? You can eat it so many different ways—baked, stir fried, grilled, broiled, steamed, sautèed, or deep fried (my fave). You can even use tofu to make a vegan cheesecake! Plus, tofu's low in calories, high in protein, and contains no cholesterol. Want to know the best part about tofu though? No animals have to suffer to make it! If you didn't already know, tofu's made from soy beans.

To show how much we heart tofu, everyone in the office is sporting our new 'Tofu Never Screams' t-shirts.

The shirt's so popular that even our favorite four-legged pal, Zoe wanted one of her own!



I know you want one too ... and you're in luck! This week, you can enter to win the 'Tofu Never Screams' t-shirt of your choice.

For your chance to win, just comment below with your favorite tofu dish. Entries must be received by November 13. The three people with the most delicious sounding dishes will be chosen as our winners and notified on November 16. Each winner will win their choice of our 'Tofu Never Screams' t-shirts.

Where are all my musicians at? This week, you have the chance to win a vegan guitar strap from Couch Guitar Straps. Couch straps are made of vinyl and car seatbelt material, and adjust up to 6 inches longer than your average strap—those of you who like to play low can appreciate that.

Who's hungry? I'm starving! I just finished flipping through chef Tal Ronnen's new book The Conscious Cook, and, now, my stomach won't stop rumbling. Everything looks so damn delicious! It's no surprise Tal's cooked for some of Hollywood's elite, including Oprah and Ellen DeGeneres. He's also helped tons of restaurants, schools, and corporate cafeterias get some vegetarian options on to their menus. Way to go Tal!

If you're a fussy foodie, this book's for you. But don't just take it from me. Oprah loves Tal's food so much, she raved about it in her blog.

To win a copy of The Conscious Cook: Delicious Meatless Recipes That Will Change the Way You Eat, containing 75 original vegan recipes, comment below with what inspired you to go veg or, if you haven't gone veg yet, let us know what it's going to take to make the switch.

Free Stuff Friday: Teese Vegan Cheese Giveaway! October 9, 2009

Posted by Tiffany Wright at October 9, 2009 9:29 AM | Permalink | Comments ( 242 ) | TrackBack If you haven't seen the video from PETA's investigation into a Pennsylvania Land O' Lakes supplier, watch it now. The cows at this dairy factory were living in the most disgusting conditions. I'm talking living and sleeping in their own feces and suffering from serious health problems like pneumonia, skin infections, and parasites to name a few. Severe infection of the teats and pus-filled pockets, or abscesses, were also common—some even burst and oozed pus as the cows were being milked! If you didn't believe the kind of funk lurking in that gallon of milk before, see for yourself.

Thank goodness for soy! This week, you can win a pack of dairy-free Teese Cheese—Mozzarella-style. Teese Cheese, made by the Chicago Soydairy, has a taste and texture that makes it one peta2's favorite vegan soy cheeses and it's trans fat and gluten free! That's right my friends—we give you nothing but the best.

For your chance to win one of five packs of the uber popular Mozzarella-style Teese Vegan Cheese, all you got to do is comment below with what you'd make with the cheese if you won. The five people whose comments sound the most delicious, will be chosen as our winners. Comments must be received by October 16 and the five winners will be notified on October 19.

Free Stuff Friday: Banned Books Giveaway! October 2, 2009

In honor of Banned Books week, we're giving you the chance to win two literary classics people have pushed to ban from schools and libraries around the world—George Orwell's Animal Farm and Upton Sinclair's The Jungle.

Animal Farm, for those of you who don't know, is the story of a power-hungry pig who becomes a tyrannical dictator and leads the other farm animals to unite against the humans. The character of Napolean mirrored Joseph Stalin, the infamous Russian dictator (Orwell was not much of a Stalin fan). Animal Farm caused quite a stir because it was so popular with anticommunists.

The Jungle, written by Upton Sinclair (a socialist, by the way), describes the poverty, horrible working conditions, and hopelessness experienced by the working class in the early 20th century—specifically those working in the American meat-packing industry. The book was highly critical of the capitalist system in the United States.

For your chance to win copies of Animal Farm and The Jungle just comment below with why you think these books should NOT be banned. Entries must be received by October 9. The person with the most compelling comment will be chosen as our winner and notified on October 12. By the way, the lucky winner will also receive this awesome peta2 button pack!

Free Stuff Friday: Jellyfish Mood Lamp! September 25, 2009

We all know what a$$holes Brookstone execs are being by continuing to sell those hideous Frog-O-Spheres (or "death tanks" as I like to call them). Despite complaints from animal-loving customers about the dangers these contraptions pose to the health of the frogs and snails within them, Brookstone has been giving them all the cold shoulder. Management is even instructing employees to move all the Frog-O-Spheres with sick-looking frogs to the back of the shelves, denying them proper vet care. DOUCHEBAGS!

This week, we're giving you the chance to win this animal-friendly LED Jellyfish Mood Lamp from ThinkGeek.com You can have your "jellyfish" change from color to color or stay a single color. Either way, this thing is pretty damn awesome. Who knew imitation jellyfish could be this cool?

For your chance to win this Jellyfish Mood Lamp, comment below with what you'd say to a Brookstone exec if you saw him or her on the street. Comments must be received by October 2, and the person with the most compelling comment will be chosen as our winner and notified on October 5.
