It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living, by its purely physical effect on the human temperament, would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind.
—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
As long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seeds of murder and pain cannot reap the joy of love.
—Pythagoras
Humanity’s true moral test, its fundamental test…consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect humankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it.
—Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, 1984

Hey Beautiful Vegan Woman, I really, really, really love your site!!! For many years, I have been a vegetarian trying oh so very hard to become a vegan. Getting there – slowly! Your site sure does make it look easy. I wanted to email you, but instead I thought I’d write here because I’d like to reach as many vegetarians/vegans as I can. My housekeeper/best friend is OMG – THE WORLD’S BEST VEGAN INDIAN FOOD COOK BAR NONE!!!! SERIOUSLY, I AM DYING FOR HER FOOD RIGHT NOW! She is from Thailand and she’s a mix of Thai/Indian and Pakistani. She also cooks Thai food. Well, actually, I think the woman can cook anything! Her vegan dishes are amazing!! The meateater in my house is turning vegan and doesn’t even know it!! If anyone, anyone at all is interested in trying Ida’s food (and why wouldn’t you be? ^^), please drop me a line and I’ll put you in touch with her. Thank you for taking the time to read my long message. Anne Marie ^^
