I recently took the plunge from vegetarian to vegan and would love to learn as much as I can! The cooking is the easy part but living the lifestyle presents many challenges. I would love to get a copy of this book and the launch party sounds like a great time. Thank you for your consideration.

I’ve been vegan for ten years and finally convinced my mom to go vegetarian this past year. In celebration, I’ve been squiring her around to as many veg functions as possible. Surrounded by vegan superstars and rescued animals, she’s gained a much better understanding of the cause and has really immersed herself in the lifestyle.

I think she’s ready to make the transition to vegan (Daiya cheese didn’t hurt) and she deserves a copy of Living Vegan for Dummies because I certainly can’t answer all of her questions!

Thank you.

I took the 30 day Peta vegan pledge November 30th. I am loving the way I feel even just after 2 wks. 30 days has turned into a new lifestyle for me.

As a vegetarian who has admired the vegan community for their steadfastness and creativity in our current food economy, I would value this book as a tool to become a vegan myself. I hope to educate others about how food affects social and environmental policy, and the material in the book, as well as the opportunity to meet with others knowledgeable about food and agriculture, will only increase my ability to make an impact on my community.

I would love to get this book. I’m always wanting to look things up about vegan nutrition and it would nice to have all the info in one place.

The seed that would bloom into my PETA loving, fur free wearing, petition signing, vegan lifestyle embracing self was planted in the summer of 1992 when I was just seven years old. That day was the first time I made the connection between meat and the death of sentient animals upon being told, on a trip to the farm, that the fate of the sweet little rabbit I had pet was to end up on someone’s dinner plate. Without so much as a moment of hesitation, I vowed then and there never to eat meat again. That night at dinner, unable to bring myself to even so much as look at the meatballs on my plate, I experienced the first, perhaps most significant “aha” moment of my life. It was then that I truly realized that there is a back-story to all of the everyday practices in which we engage and that instead of purposely ignoring these stories, I wanted to uncover them.

Ever since then (as I became more familiar with the animal rights movement & consequently horrified by the atrocities that take place daily on factory farms) I have worked hard to be the change I wish to see in the world and to inspire others to do the same. My lifestyle very much revolves around trying to make choices that are not harmful to the environment or any of its inhabitants, from the shampoo I buy to the types of restaurants I eat at.

To attend the launch party of Living Vegan for Dummies and spend some time with some of my vegan idols would truly be a dream come true. Their experience and insight would be absolutely invaluable to me as someone who plans on contributing in significant ways to the animal rights movement, which I hold so near and dear to my heart

I would like to win this book because I actually know a lot of dummies who aren’t yet vegans. I would give this book to one of them as a Christmas gift.

I would love this to add to my “Vegan library.” Also, because, I’m not the healthiest vegan out there. :\

I am so excited to be getting more healthy and experiencing more of the vegan life after being a vegetarian for 6 years. I would love more recipes to learn and share with friends!

Alex Jamieson was my mentor a few years ago. I also have her other book. I worked with Alex and she opened up a whole new world for me. I would like to have this book not only for myself but since I am a Holistic Health Counselor myself, I want to use it to help teach others. I enjoy educating others how to better their health. Hope I win!!! I would love a day in New York with Alex!!!

I’ve been vegan for almost four years and recently reconnected with an old flame from almost 20 years ago. He eats well for health reasons and had been considering going vegetarian, but he could never seem to take the plunge. Now we’re engaged and I’ll be moving to South Florida in a little over a month, and he’s decided to go vegan as a wedding present to me! But as compassionate and environmentally conscious as he is, he’s not much of a cook, and he’s been struggling to eat properly while removing animal products from his diet. The book would be a great first step for him, helping him stay the course until I’m down there full-time and can help him find his way!!!

As Alicia Silverstone would say, I’m flirting with going vegan. I have signed up for the 21 day Vegan Kickstart (pcrm.org/kickstart) to begin on the first of the new year so I can use all the help I can get.

My family and I would be happy to own a copy of this book and to go to the launch party. Go Vegan!

I really would love to get this book. Reasons? Well, when I was in high school I was a vegetarian and then a vegan, but when college started I went back to meat. Now I’m done medical school and am applying to residency. I’m trying to get back into veganism with my dad. Why? I lost my mother last year in a horrible car wreck. My dad is all I have left. When I move next summer for residency he’ll be living alone. He’s got htn and hypercholestorlemia. I want us to learn how to change our diet for the better. I want both of us to live healthier lives so that he lives longer. I don’t want to worry about him and I want to stay healthy and strong to make it through those 80 hour weeks. So if I may have a copy of the book I’d appreciate it much. Thank you.
