We heard John Robbins speak and read his book, "Diet for a New America" in December 1989 and became vegan on January 1, 1990. We've never looked back. I'm just finishing a relatively new book I think your readers may find compelling:<br />"Eating Animals" by Jonathan Safran Foer.Sheila Hoffmanhttp://www.hoffmangraphics.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137978996437778175.post-47119457685845728962010-12-30T18:18:41.694-08:002010-12-30T18:18:41.694-08:00I have been toying with the idea of going vegan ov...I have been toying with the idea of going vegan over the past year. My mom recently passed away from colon cancer and in all the reading and researching I've done, eliminating meat, dairy, eggs and chemicals from your diet is the number one preventative measure to take. My two boys and I did a project last summer to reduce our carbon footprint and we learned so much about the toll that the meat/dairy industry takes on the planet and its resources. Between those two significant life events, I read your book, read many other books, watched Earthlings and just yesterday finished the book Skinny Bitch. Something switched for me last night as as of today I am a vegan. One of my boys is switching with me and the other one is willing to go vegetarian. I know without a doubt that I will never again (knowingly) chew and swallow meat, dairy or eggs.<br />Thank you for being part of my change!<br />DianeDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122113085481585833noreply@blogger.com
