“Veganism: A Beginner’s Motivational Guide,” is a fast read and great introduction to Veganism.  I always thought that veganism was slightly more restrictive than being a vegetarian.  Turns out I was wrong on many counts. Rather than “just a diet,” veganism is in actuality a choice of lifestyle that not only focuses on healthy eating and healthy living, but on the non-exploitation of animals.The author, Elizabeth Aron was very inspiring in how she explains the vegan lifestyle.  Instead of focusing on what you might be “giving up,” Aron focus is on the enormous benefits you receive from shifting to this new way of living.Whether one is making the transition from vegetarian or even the more drastic change from non-vegetarian Aron advises going slowly.I found some of the facts in the book to be very surprising … from some of the celebrities who have embraced veganism to sheer numbers of vegans throughout the world, including a million vegans in the US alone!In addition to one link that is good for a chuckle (The Vegan Zombie) the book includes dozens of useful links to vegan websites, videos and blogs.If you are sitting on the fence about becoming a Vegan, this book provide you with the information you need in order to say YES!
