To help fight this from happening, I urge any Idahoan redditors to contact your district representative and senators to not appeal this, else you will vote for someone else.

Let them know this is a position that Idahoan citizens feel is unjust and cannot come back into service. It might just stop them from trying to appeal this.

Vegan here, and it ultimately depends. It can be difficult to learn EVERYTHING animals are used for, but the best bet is to just start off with food and clothing, as these are more obvious. If you have current leather/fur/down/wool/silk, continue to use it, but do not buy any new clothing with these products. If you feel uncomfortable wearing them and you can afford new clothing items, then donate the items you have to Goodwill/a thrift shop/the homeless/etc.

With food, the ingredients list will always say if it contains animal products or not. Start at the bottom, not the top. The bottom will have a listing that says if it contains common allergens, which eggs and dairy are both common allergens. After that, read the rest to see if it contains other animal products, such as gelatin, chicken seasoning, etc.

That above part is mainly for processed foods. Non-processed foods, such as vegetables, are pretty much easy to go for. However beware some organic produce, as items like organic apples tend to have a glossy coating added to them made from shellac (secretions of the lac bug). Non-organic produce may contain shellac but may use a petroleum-based coating instead.

Honey is also not vegan, so don't get this. If you still have honey at home, feel free to use it or donate it, if possible. Honey replacements include: maple syrup, agave nectar, stevia, etc.

Being vegan isn't hard, unless you rely on a lot of processed foods. If so, I recommend you start getting into the habit of cooking, as faux meats, processed vegan foods (e.g. Amy's), etc. can be a bit pricy at times. Fresh produce is pretty cheap, especially if you buy when crops are in-season (I can provide more help on this, if necessary).

When eating out, check out sites like happycow.com. Some alcohols use animal products either as a direct ingredient or as a part of filtration (e.g. many wines use isinglass, a gelatinous membrane crafted from fish). For these, use barnivore.com.

PETA, whether you love them or hate them, has a great list of "accidentally vegan" options for those moments you feel like pigging out. One notable mention is Oreo's, which are vegan!

You'll be asked "where do you get your protein from?". Plants are NOT incomplete proteins, contrary to popular belief, but some are deficient (meaning "holding a lesser amount") in certain essential amino acids. However eating enough food will more than make up for the deficit said items house. This webpage is a lot more informative on the subject. If you're looking to get a good quantity of protein, look towards legumes especially. However rice, quinoa, green vegetables, nuts & seeds, and so forth are all good sources of protein. Fruit, however, tends to be very low in terms of protein quantity. However if you eat enough calories for the day, you pretty much have no risk of protein deficiency.

Calcium is another issue talked about. Whilst vegetables like spinach are at times recommended for their calcium, spinach is one of a few vegetables high in oxalic acid as it ages. Oxalic acid disrupts calcium absorption, so instead rely on cruciferous vegetables, like kale and collard greens, to get your calcium. Baby spinach can work as it has lower oxalic acid levels (like kale and collards), but I would still recommend looking to kale and such instead. Alternatively, you can opt for non-dairy milks, like Silk brand's soymilk or almond milk, which tend to be fortified in calcium.

Iron is an issue that a lot of vegans have, even though it isn't talked about much. Iron is required for your blood to properly absorb oxygen. Unfortunately, non-heme iron (found in plants) is not as well absorbed as heme iron (found in animals) is. As such, make sure to eat MORE than the daily allowance for iron to ensure you get enough. You can also opt for a multivitamin tablet, which tends to be fortified in iron. You don't need to worry too much about calcium or protein, but do worry about iron.

Whilst I am recommending multivitamins, you do NOT need to take them for proper health...Except for vitamin B12. B12 is produced by bacterial strains commonly found in fertilized soil. You can opt for either a B12 supplement found at stores like Walgreen's, or you can look for it in fortified foods, such as Silk brand milks, fortified breakfast cereals, etc. It doesn't matter whether you're guzzling down almond milk or popping a B12 supplement, just make sure to get this.

NOTE: For non-vegans, it is recommended you take a B12 supplement as well. The meat most Americans consume is skeletal muscle, which does not house very much B12. B12 tends to instead be stored in internal organs, such as the liver of cows.

Who else could've played a stapler as well as Rob Schneider had? You tell me and really think over what you just said!

What? That's a horrible book title!

What it should be is Everybody Fucking Poops.

What's more entertaining: building code violations, or a country bombing another region (quasi-technically in their border, quasi-technically another land)?

Most journalists writing on it either usually feel adamant about one side (it should be Israel, it should be Palestine), or are likely just in it for the views (or were directed by the editor or a boss to write about the subject). Journalism is looking at things from not only an information perspective, but also a profitable perspective.
