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.

Knowledge is power

After taking Nutritional Science 101 in college, I never thought I'd have to read another nutri sci book again.  I'm usually not hard-core-science minded, which is why I took the business route so far in life.  But apparently, I have a nerdy science side of me begging to be unearthed!  If you were to look at my Mountain View Library check-out history or my blog roll or who I follow on Twitter, you would find a geeky crunchy granola.  And you would want to be best friends with her.  And you'd want her to be your Health Coach.

So what sorts of topics am I reading in my spare time?  Well, besides the Twilight series books, I'm learning about phytoestrogens, bio-availability of calcium for absorption, the effects of pasteurization on enzymes, and the strong correlation between animal protein intake and cancer risk.  Yes, you definitely want to hang out with me.
