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.

**It was a Costco chocolate cake that was not vegan. I ate it, it was delicious, and now I have a headache, my eyes are closing, I feel ill, my teeth feel grimy, and I kinda want to vomit.  The sugar makes me sick and the chocolate interrupts my sleep. I will suspend the intake of these substances indefinitely. After reading this article, it appears I have high levels of norepinephrine.
