About This Blog...

This blog is not meant to solely be about Veganism, which is why I hope that even non-vegans will find it beneficial. Veganism might be at the heart of this project but when viewing the big picture this blog is about the interconnectedness of all things. It’s about action and reaction and how our actions can effect the world and promote change for the worse or the greater good, often without us even realizing it. Veganism is at the heart of this blog because the food we eat has a direct impact not only on our own physical and mental health but on our environment, as well as our economy. It might never have occurred to you - as it hadn’t to me, before going vegan - that a question as simple as "What’s for dinner?" can effect a great many issues from Global Famine, Pollution, Climate Change, Animal Rights, Human Rights, Illegal Immigration, Epidemic/Pandemic Outbreaks, and War. In this space i hope to touch upon all of these topics and more.

This blog is my modest attempt to spread information that can help encourage people to make more informed choices about the food we eat, the products we buy and the practices we engage in. My goal is to create a greater social awareness and to help provide the tools that can empower us to live more thoughtful, selfless lives of compassion. I also wanted to create a space to provide veteran vegans, new vegans, non-vegans and the vegan-curious alike, with outreach and support. Where we can mingle together and exchange thoughts, feelings and ideas without fear and disrespect.

Through my evolution as a vegan I’ve been looking for a way to give back, to the community, to the planet, and to the animals. I’ve been overwhelmed with the deepening desire to do my part to help those around me. As a recent vegan myself living in the land of beef and feed-grain I know just how difficult it can be to make the change and to navigate through this world with open eyes, open hearts and open minds, especially with little or no support. So if my humble efforts can help in anyway I shall remain ever grateful.
