Childhood obesity can be solved with veganism

Children in the U.S. are getting progressively larger. This leads to diabetes, high cholesterol, asthma, and heart issues. Many of these problems can be solved with a vegan or vegetarian diet.
Some people think that animal free diets are not healthy for kids. Actually this type of diet is much better. Your kids could be free of toxins, processed meat, and of course, cruelty.

I hope that more parents and teachers become aware of healthier ways of eating and living.

There are some great books and online resources available for parents. A great source comes from the author of The Vegan Lunchbox. A great book for parents that want to make vegan lunches for their children. This site is a great source for parents, teachers, and everyone involved in the lives of children.

Veganism is a great way to keep your family healthy.
The love of animals can be incorporated into your everyday lives.

I will leave you with a quote that has been popping up online in my recent searches:
"Meat is murder, dairy is rape." (and I added. honey is stealing).

Raw veganism

I have decided to give raw veganism a try. After much thought and consideration...why not?
Raw vegans are a bit more extreme than the strict vegan diet I was already following.
Raw vegans do not consume food cooked above 110 degrees F.
I think it is a really cool concept to be that close to the earth, and to eat foods in their natural state.

I am going to get some cook books and other books, and see how it goes.
I'm hoping I will be happy! :)

Vegan restaurants

It's pretty hard finding a place to eat vegan in Maine.
There are a few restaurants that I have tried that are pretty good...

The Green Elephant, in Portland Maine.

Silly's, in Portland Maine.

Are there any more that other people know about?
