I think it’s pretty apparent that we’re out of control on so many levels as a species and that we need to do something about it, no matter how small and incremental those changes may be.”

    Organic is good, local is great, but vegan is best! Go vegan for the animals, for the planet, for the starving people who could be feed with the grains we fatten animals with, and for your health and conscience! (GoVeg.com, TryVeg.com, VegCooking.com)
