Personal Quote
“Adopting a primarily plant-based diet is among the best things you can do for personal and public health, the planet, and the animals. Eat more whole plant foods and you’ll find yourself spending significantly less time worrying about conflicting nutrition messages and the ‘right’ way to eat to feel your best. The plant-based lifestyle quickly speaks for itself, loud and clear.”
