INTERESTED IN VEGANISM?

I meant to post this a while ago: A list of recommended websites and literature for anyone interested in becoming vegan or any curious cats out there:


LITERATURE!

Vegan: The New Ethics of Eating, Revised Edition
Erik Marcus
One of the first books I read about veganism- explains the vegan lifestyle from all angles, answers almost EVERY question you can have.

Animal Liberation
Peter Singer
What can I say- The dude roooolz. He started this movement in the '70s and like Zeppelin, it still rocks (we read him in class, some of you have mixed opinions about him, but to each his/her own).

The Dietitian's Guide to Vegetarian Diets
Messina, Mark, and Virginia Messina
Everything you need to know from the health and wellness standpoint. Also probably the book your parents will be most interested in.

Fast Food Nation
Eric Schlosser
Basically "What goes on before they call your number." The icky, sticky truth.

Living Among Meat Eaters
Carol Adams
Let's face it- they've got us surrounded!



INTERWEBZ!

http://www.vegetariantimes.com/ Subscribing to the magazine is not a bad idea. I have a lot of fun and have learned much from reading it.

http://www.theppk.com POST PUNK KITCHEN! You can see I'm excited. It's at the top of my bookmarks list; the chick who runs the site have also written many of my favorite cookbooks (Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World, Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar, Veganomicon, Vegan with a Vengence, etc.) To put it plainly, I would give up peanut butter for a week to hang out with Isa Chandra Moskowitz for a little while- and that's saying a lot.

http://www.vegan.org/Vegan Action's campaigns have made life a lot smoother for many vegans- also a great site for more resources! Check it out.

http://human-animal-liberation.blogspot.com/ A pretty good answer to "Why are you worrying about chickens when there are suffering humans out there?"


There are so many more great resources, but these are just the first ones I took a look at and were explanatory and interesting enough to get me pumped on veganism.
Good luck/Have fun
Again, I would love to talk to anyone who is down to in person about veganism or any related topics =) (ashtryba@gmail.com)
