The purpose of my Vegetarian Awareness Month posts have been in part to bring up issues the non-veg readers may not have considered, and to provide resources to learn more about vegetarians and vegans.
Today I bring you something a little different. It’s a series of short audio shows (most are 10-15 minutes) which followed Oprah’s 21 day vegan diet back in May 2008. These are from Erik Marcus of Vegan.com.
Erik’s first book was a big catalyst for me in learning more about the dairy industry. It’s amazing the series of events necessary for me to have met him that day in Chicago, 1999.
I met him again in 2006 when I was able to tell him about where his book had led me. I know that many times we are never aware of the impact we have on people so I was glad to be able to share that with him. And I was surprised that he remembered me from that day in Chicago (turns out it was a memorable day for him - not in the best way).
He’s a man of great insight. Take this opportunity to listen a few minutes a day to this series of 21 audio shows. You can find them here.
