I've been out of every loop I used to be in because my work outside of veganism and animal rights came a-calling in a most critical way. I haven't been able to blog, or, I haven't made it a priority.

Being vegan because you want to live as nonviolently as possible and you don't want to contribute to violence and you don't want to respond to violence with violence is admirable to some, though refusing to support the defense of sentient nonhumans when you probably would if they were humans bothers me.

If you are serious about losing weight and improving your health, try out a cruelty-free vegan diet for three months. One beauty of a low-fat vegan diet is that you can eat as much vegan food as you like and still lose weight.
