A vegan diet--particularly one that is low in fat--will substantially reduce disease risks. Plus, we've seen no disadvantages from veganism.

-- John Holt, Teach Your Own

Because if everyone did what they wanted to do, everyone would feel free. And if you feel free, you feel empowered. And every negative emotion that exists-hear this-every negative emotion that exists is because there is some sense of loss of freedom somewhere in there.
-- Abraham-Hicks

answer to those glorious dreams...and therefore I *expect* it to come to
me...in its own time, in its own way...
