For me, the essence of veganism is compassion … not just compassion for animals, but all the way around. - Victoria Moran

You never know what a man—or a woman—has inside: how much grit, how much courage, how much willingness to change. When someone draws on those qualities, you're looking at a person of substance. And power. And promise. This world needs more of those.

There are as many ways to eat a vegan diet as there are people who discover it. Just about any way you do it, provided you focus on unprocessed foods, include vitamin B₁₂, and make a few adjustments for your individual needs and preferences, can be viable and health-promoting.

I suppose I am one: an activist — for animals and a vegan lifestyle. I hear that word, however, and look around to see if someone is indeed referring to me.
