An Aussie friend of mine posted a link to an
article in The Age on her facebook. It's a lovely positive piece on going vegan- by Marieke Hardy who went vegan for a dare (and to snag a vegan) and stayed that way. My favourite bit is:
"Veganism became an option for me because I stopped being scared of it and realised that it was a rich, fulfilling, exciting, compassionate way to live. Outside of meeting Shaun Micallef, it's pretty much the best thing that's ever happened to me."
Edit: For Non-Aussies
Shaun Micallef is an Aussie comedian
