Public Alpha: have suggestions or feedback?
Oprah Winfrey, Her Royal Highness of Daytime Television, has announced on her blog that she’s going vegan! Well, for 21 days as part of a cleanse, but that’s still big news in the vegan world, and will certainly bring about some positive exposure of the vegan lifestyle to millions of viewers worldwide. On her blog, Oprah said that after rereading the book, “A New Earth,” she was inspired to eliminate meat and dairy from her diet for a short period of time.
“How can you say you’re trying to spiritually evolve, without even a thought about what happens to the animals whose lives are sacrificed in the name of gluttony?’ she wrote. [accesshollywood.com]

Cruelty Free Eating!
Paula SacksWhen my teenage daughter became a vegan I struggled to find GOOD recipes to cook for her. On a visit to California we found a “life transforming” Vegan Restaurant! Native Foods! We were lucky enough to meet the chef/owner Tanya. A truly amazing woman who lives and breaths her passion - cruelty free food. Tanya’s magic touch transends everyday ingredients into a culinary delight. Tanya shared her belief - love and compassion for all animals. It is no wonder that her vegan food will be able to convert the masses into a compassionate way to eat and live.
Go Tanya - Change to world one bite at a time!
