Information about Veganism

Here are some excellent links to some resources on the vegan lifestyle.

The first one is the NPR podcast about reducing meat consumption by 20% and the impact that would have on the environment

This next one is a website that deals with the health aspects of being vegan and also ethics in medicine and accuracy in advertising. They are the group that is primarily responsible for forcing the meat and dairy industry to curtail their false and misleading “milk your diet” campaign that tried to make a connection between weight loss and dairy consumption. (Three of the main doctors, Dr. Ornish, Dr. Barnard, and Dr. McDougall are vegan for health reasons and also have written some great cookbooks and nutritional books.)

This one is another list of resources written by the authors of “vegan freak,” a really great book about being vegan in a “non-vegan world.”
