"No single food choice has a farther-reaching and more profoundly positive impact on our health, the environment, and all of life on Earth than choosing vegan." ABC (Alternative Baking Co.) Also, it's delicious. (Don't believe what you hear about vegan freaks.)

I wonder whether at times coming out as a vegan is like coming out as a lesbian or gay. I know there are more differences than similarities; I don't think I was born vegan. But today I'd like to focus on the similarities: You wonder how people will react. Will you be received with understanding and acceptance--even support?--or will you be regarded with disdain?
I had some misgivings before yesterday's incredible lunch. I loved the couple who were hosting, but there were offering muffins, salmon omelets, and yogurt. I even considered not going so they wouldn't have to bother with me. But I did go after saying that I could bring rhubarb crisp and cornbread.
To my surprise, everything I brought was served, and one guest even brought something specifically for me--a tart in which she'd substituted Just Eggs for the eggs and left out the cheese. It didn't seem as if anything was missing.
We had a lovely time, and it turned out that one of the guests had just been at a retreat in Ukiah and was in charge of vegan dishes for 45 people! Far from disdain, there was appreciation! The hosts even welcomed the things I offered to leave behind: More yogurt alternative, coconut milk, Indian bread, cornbread and rhubarb crisp.
