The Summary: Happy Friday VegNews Book Clubbers! I am reporting from Anaheim, Calif. where the VN staff is attending the Natural Products Expo West. We are really busy scouting all of the awesome, new, vegan products, but there's still enough time to wrap up our discussion of Veganist this week. Just a quick reminder, don't forget to email your questions for Kathy, which are due Wednesday, March 16. Don't miss out on getting your questions answered!Thanks for the comments this week! We talked about what your favorite promise is in the book, and what you do to save money. It seems like Promise 3 is the most popular, which says that a vegan diet will help you to live a longer, and healthier, life. This is definitely important, due to the preciousness of life. We all want to be in this world as long as we can, and staying healthy on a vegan diet will help us do that.
Who doesn't want to save money? We've all heard that a vegan diet costs a ton of money, which is totally not true. However, it is easy to waste a lot of money on any diet if you're not careful. This is an important issue in my life, especially right now, being a young woman just a few years out of college, and in a large amount of debt. I used to throw away money, but now I'm much more conscious of it, which is why I asked you to comment on your number one saving tip. Avoiding spending money on processed, vegan food and cooking from scratch seems to be it, which I've been doing myself. Not only has it saved me money, but making meals from whole foods just tastes better!
We will be discussing the next four Promises this Monday, March 14. Have a great weekend!
