The Kindest Thing You Can Do

Kate Agarwal - Friday, April 02, 2010
I just finished reading The Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone and I am INSPIRED!  This book opened my eyes to the evils of the dairy and meat industries and explained the health benefits of eating a meat-free and dairy-free diet.  Backed by doctors and scientific studies, adopting a vegan lifestyle is not only great for your body and mind, it has wonderful benefits for the planet as well.  Did you know that (aside from being cruel) factory farming is one of the most polluting industries in the world? Whether you are an environmentalist, caring conservationist or just a regular person looking to make a difference in the world, going vegan is one easy thing we can all do to make a positive impact on our planet. How fabulous is that? 

I decided to give it a try a few weeks ago and am thrilled to say it is easier than I thought it would be.  It's been 2 weeks since I became vegan and I feel fantastic!  My skin cleared up, I shed those last few pounds that have been hanging around since the birth of my youngest child and I feel absolutely amazing.  Best of all, I feel really great knowing that I am making a difference in the world.  Aside from the huge personal benefits of living a vegan lifestyle, think of all the lives I'll save this year by not eating meat and dairy!  Check out The Kind Diet.  It's filled with great healthy recipes and a step by step plan on how to transition to a vegan diet.  If I can do it, anyone can. 

I feel A M A Z I N G.  You can too!

Peace,

Kate
