I became vegan at the age of 6 when my Mother could not answer truthfully that the dairy industry was not cruel... My stance on veganism has always been borne out of a love of animals - not myself or health issues...I am currently leading the most active and physically demanding lifestyle I have ever had. I wake at 3.30 a.m. and care for my 400 rescued animals through the day - and night if necessary. I am a retained fire-fighter and Elite Marathon runner..." Read More Here

Petra and John are vegans. But what does that really mean? And why are so many people going vegan? And what DO vegans eat? This book makes it all clear.
