The results of a survey of over 2000 vegans by Janice Stanger, PhD has been published in a report titled, "Vegan from the Inside: Why People Love Plant-Based Diets". A free 16 page PDF report of the survey results are available online. In her report she uses the survey's results to debunk six myths about vegans and the vegan diet. This is a must read for all plant-based people and you should be able to quote the results at a moment's notice.
Thought from the "World Peace Diet", Page 293 - "Refraining from eating and using animals is the natural result of seeing that is no longer chained within the dark and rigid dungeon of narrow self-interest. From the outside, it may look like and be called "veganism", but it is simply awareness and the expression of our sense of interconnectedness. It manifests naturally as inclusiveness and caring. It's no big deal because it's the normal functioning of our original nature, which unfailingly sees beings rather than things when it looks at our neighbors on this earth".
What is the most significant action you can take to help reduce global warming — GO VEGAN. This quarter sheet handout documents the fact that by changing to a vegetarian diet you can reduce your personal contribution to global warming by 25% and if you switch to a vegan diet you can reduce your personal contribution almost in half. The choice is yours - you do not have to convince anyone else. Download a PDF copy of this handout and share it with your friends.
