I am rarely this proud of a decision I have made...going vegan has been one of the best decisions I could make for not only myself, but for others. I feel incredibly healthier. I'm eating much more regularly with better options. Since most of my foods are fortified I actually am convinced I'm finally eating a true healthy and balanced diet.

Going vegan is the single most important thing anyone that is environmentally aware can do. If you are at all concerned about the ethical treatment of animals, your health, or most importantly the status of our dwindling environment please take a chance and educate yourself about your option to choose a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. You can make a difference!

Now for some motivational quotes...did you know that paul McCartney lives on a plant based diet ? So does alicia silverstone, pamela anderson, woody harrelson, linda blair, K.D. Lang, Joaqin and River Phoenix, etc...

Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet. ~Albert Einstein

“If anyone wants to save the planet, all they have to do is just stop eating meat. That’s the single most important thing you could do. It’s staggering when you think about it. Vegetarianism takes care of so many things in one shot: ecology, famine, cruelty."
-Sir Paul McCartney

People who consume animal products are far more susceptible to heart disease, 40 percent more susceptible to cancer, and at increased risk for many other illnesses, including stroke, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, impotence, and food poisoning.
-Sir Paul McCartney

The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. If beef is your idea of "real food for real people" you'd better live real close to a real good hospital. ~Neal Barnard, M.D.

I take vitamins daily, but just the bare essentials not what you'd call supplements. I try to stick to a vegan diet heavy on fruit, vegetables, tofu, and other soy products.
-Clint Eastwood

Nothing's changed my life more. I feel better about myself as a person, being conscious and responsible for my actions and I lost weight and my skin cleared up and I got bright eyes and I just became stronger and healthier and happier. Can't think of anything better in the world to be but be vegan.
-Alicia Silverstone

As soon as I realized that I didn't need meat to survive or to be in good health, I began to see how forlorn it all is. If only we had a different mentality about the drama of the cowboy and the range and all the rest of it. It's a very romantic notion, an entrenched part of American culture, but I've seen, for example, pigs waiting to be slaughtered, and their hysteria and panic was something I shall never forget. ~Cloris Leachman

Killing an animal to make a coat is sin. It wasn't meant to be, and we have no right to do it. A woman gains status when she refuses to see anything killed to be put on her back. Then she's truly beautiful.
-Doris Day
