Inspired by Alicia Silverstone's "The Kind Diet" and Michael Pollan's "In Defense of Food," we want to experience the vegan lifestyle to improve our health, boycott animal suffering, and reduce our carbon footprint.

There has been no cheating since my encounter with a piece of salmon sashimi. I continue to have few cravings and when I do have a craving a cup of tea often helps. I went out with girlfriends last night and after a couple of drinks they ordered pizza - I had no problem turning it down. Yay for me!
