I had been raving about the movie <a href="http://www.forksoverkinves.com" rel="nofollow">Forks over Knives</a>. Over the past month, both of the other lawyers borrowed the DVD from the library and <i>both</i> of them became vegans.

We are going to watch a movie called "Forks Over Knifes" tonight which may seal the final few steps of the way for me to becoming a confirmed vegan. thanks, as always for your kind wishes, blessings in return.<br /><br />Lynette - it is easy to "veganize" things at home.

(I made a dangerous discovery recently: a lot of dark chocolate is vegan.) I'm still working on ditching that last difficult bit of lazy almost-veganness too.

I admit I have trouble feeling the same level of commitment to a salmon as I do to a calf, cow, chicken or pig. However, as you wrote: finely sifted behaviours are the truth of practice. So...

I get to see my own greed when I don't want to forgo the muffin that has egg in it or look for a restaurant that has vegan options.<br /><br />Leslie - I am feeling a cleanse calling too. I believe this was traditional in days gone by after a period of feasting came the fasting!
