If you can live a long healthy life void of animal products, then most take part in the suffering and dealth of animals for the pleasure of thier appetite. I turned veg at the age of 15 because it just didn’t feel right to eat meat. I am now vegan.

I am living a greener life by not only buying my produce from the local co-op, but taking the bus to get there. I choose not to own an automobile so every time I leave the house my life is greener than those who are driving. Just yesterday I saw my neighbor driving by while I was walking and she pulled into a parking lot 2 1/2 blocks from her home! Is that crazy or what? How lazy can people be? Think before you drive, walk or take the bus.

I always try to buy organic and support local farmers by buying at local farmers markets direct rather than through large national chain supermarkets. I never, ever support brands which test on animals or practice animal cruelty. Would love to win the shirt!

Summer–congrats on your decision.

I’ve been vegetarian since January of 2002 and vegan for most of that time. My boyfriend has been vegetarian since the early 1990s. I’d give this shirt to him if I won because he’s a big Beatles/McCartney fan.

In order to keep my diet green and promote a healthy lifestyle, I’m a vegan and I’m also an avid bike rider. I shop at the local farmers market and the farm down the street from my parents house. I’m a yoga teacher have recently been teaching classes with themes that support green living (ahimsa – non violence, Asteya – non stealing etc). The yamas and niyamas can be applied to all aspects of our lives, including our diets, and give us a chance to re-examin our day-to-day activites. Its so good to see all the positive comments people have been leaving on how to promote a healthy, compassionate lifestyle!!

My parents once had cow parts from an entire cow in their freezer. One day, in my 15th year, said freezer lost power, and the once-cow bled as it thawed. I was the lucky individual to find the ensuing mess. Tomorrow is my birthday. I’ll be 33 years old. If you did the math, you know that I’ve been a vegetarian for more than 1/2 my life!

Vegetarian for 5 years and beginning to transition to vegan. I also do most of my grocery shopping at our local organic market. Would love to win the Paul McCartney shirt so I can give it to my 15 year old son who is not veg, but loves The Beatles! Perhaps Sir Paul could convince him?

It’s so great to “see” so many veg*ns out there!! I am a happy vegan myself..I started a local Veg group in our very veggie-clueless region and our group is joining forces with the local enviro club. We will be starting a meat & dairy-less day (like MFM) campaign in our town and approaching the city council to ask them to follow behind the city of Ghent. Wish us luck!!

My husband and I are both vegan, and my five rescue dogs are vegetarian-going-on-vegan (I’m still looking for a cruelty-free glucosamine/chondroitin supplement, which the oldest two take for their joints). We also try to grow as much of our own food as we can, though sadly our garden was a disaster this year.
