Information on vegan lifestyle.
By Sarah Taylor, Author, Vegan in 30 Days What do you say when people ask you why you eat a veg*n diet? It’s certainly not a common diet in our society and, to many, it may seem next to impossible to endure.

It's not always at a restaurant where you're forced to wonder and ask - is this cruelty free? Am I sure it's suitable for a vegan like me? Shoes, alcohol, food - all of these pose a question mark.
