Kathy Freston's Veganist will Change Lives!

In 2008, just a few months after I went Vegan overnight, Oprah's 21 day vegan cleanse episode introduced me to Kathy Freston's book Quantum Wellness. In the book, Freston kindly introduces a new way of living incorporating all aspects of health and wellness including a plant-based diet.

Kathy Freston's new book, Veganist, Lose Weight Get Healthy Change the World, will be available in stores tomorrow, and I predict that along with the exposure from Oprah's Vegan Challenge episode airing the same day, it will change lives!

PeTA's Sexy New Superbowl Ad

Warning: Content may not be suitable for meat-eaters of all ages.

PeTA's New Superbowl Ad. I love it, I think it could be shortened a lot for the Superbowl, but if Carl's Jr can show sexy women dripping juicy hamburgers all over themselves, and Go Daddy can show sexy girls fighting, then PeTA should be able to air this commercial! Go behind the scenes here. Go Veg!

Converting Cow Waste into Energy!

Blue Spruce Farms in Vermont uses new technology to convert dairy cow waste into electricity that powers over 400 homes in the community.

As long as people will be eating and drinking animal products, I hope to see more farmers treating their animals humanely and using innovative technologies to be more efficient and help the environment.

That's right, on February 1, 2011, tune into Oprah for an excellent episode highlighting the BENEFITS of Going Vegan. She's not only going Vegetarian, she and 378 of her staff members are making a full Vegan lifestyle shift...for 7 days!!

Oprah will feature Lisa Ling going into a Meat Packing facility, Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore's Dilemma and narrator of the documentary Food Inc, Kathy Freston author of Quantum Wellness, and much more!

I have personally been vegan for 4 years, and the Vegan frenzy is beginning to stir more and more individuals to adopt this kind, compassionate, healthy, green lifestyle.

Thank you Oprah, for focusing on such an important topic which promotes a healthful and peaceful way of life!

Vegan Foodie Adventures in San Francisco

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Michael Mina San Francisco with a few clients in town for the Winter Fancy Food Show. It was absolutely amazing! Visit my Facebook fan page for pictures from our evening.

Look for my Yelp and Citysearch reviews soon!

Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In memory of one of the most inspirational, groundbreaking, and peaceful individuals in our history. Thank you Dr. King. May your message live on and transcend all the unrest and chaos in our society.

Please take a few minutes out of your day, TODAY, to really listen to Dr. King's speech. In 2011, we have a new environment of racial injustice toward hispanic immigrants that MUST be addressed. I dream of a future filled with peace, compassion, and kindness toward all races.
