I am pulling my hair out trying to make things like pancakes and dosas, using flours like rice, tapioca, quinoa, lentil, etc.--and I can't get them not to "stick" like crazy. Occasionally I come a little bit close and the scraps are delicious. Any advise?? Thanks a very frustrated, dosa loving, celiac vegan C green I have a question.

I can understand the ethical arguments underlying veganism. I can also understand the health arguments underlying a gluten-free diet. But is a gluten-free diet more ethical? If it is, how is it so? Remember, I'm not asking about health benefits.

It doesn't have to be organic to be vegan and healthy! Buying lentils and beans in bulk can be a huge saving, too. But... organic is extra-healthy. The food often grows longer and absorbs more nutrients, or just isn't covered in pesticides, so your body gets a break from chemicals. A LOT of organic produce is overpriced. You have to look around to find better deals - they are out there, and they can be equal to or cheaper than supermarket produce. But there are some foods where it makes a big difference, and some foods where it doesn't. Buying some organic and some conventional can improve things as well. The "Dirty Dozen" - the foods you should buy organic - are: 1. Peaches 2. Apples 3. Capsicum / Bell Peppers 4. Celery 5. Nectarines 6. Strawberries 7. Cherries 8. Pears 9. Grapes 10. Spinach 11. Lettuce 12. Potatoes Conventional foods with the least amount of pesticide residue are: 1. Onions 2. Avocados 3. Sweet corn 4. Pineapple 5. Mangoes 6. Asparagus 7. Sweet peas 8. Kiwi fruit 9.

I have 6 people in my family and I am on a strict budget. Even buying what I usually buy is stretching the budget. I want to eat healthier but a lot of the organic food is so expensive.
