The Summary: Good afternoon VegNews Book Clubbers, and Happy Friday! It was wonderful to see so much participation this week in our discussion of The Vegan Girl's Guide to Life by Melisser Elliott. It sounds like a lot of you are really enjoying the book so far!Last Monday, I brought up two discussion points in order to get the conversation going. First, I asked if you have participated in any animal activism other than being a vegan or vegetarian. Many of you have, doing such things as attending or helping with Vegan Bake Sales, sending letters or emails for various animal-advocacy groups, handing out leaflets, adopting companion animals, giving donations, or even just eating a vegan meal in the lunch room. I think these are all great ways to get our message out there, and I am also a firm believer that any action, no matter how small, helps this movement along.
My second question asked what your basic day's menu looked like, and I have to say, you guys are way more healthy than I am! Although, I am striving to eat a more balanced, whole-foods diet. Your sample menus really gave me some good ideas, and I hope they helped some of you out as well. Much appreciated!
Next week, we will be discussing chapter three of The Vegan Girl's Guide to Life, which I'm looking forward to talking about. If you haven't been able to pick up a copy yet, you can do so on the VN Store. See you guys Monday!

I finally got my copy of the book today, and figured I'd be behind, but I'm right on target! I read so much of it already...it's great. I love the quality of the book and the photographs.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I found this blog because this is probably not a book I would have read since I have been Vegan for over 3 years and it sounds like a guide to being Vegan, which I already know how to do.
Thank you for choosing this book for January as it really is a great "starter" book for beginner vegans and "refresher" book for seasoned vegans as well!
