I have avoided writing about this topic because, to tell you the truth, I find it very confusing. When I first started to tell people that I was vegan, I was talking mainly about my food intake. I , like many others, was in the dark about what being vegan really means. There was so much to deal with in just making the correct food choices.

Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, an ever present voice in the vegan community mentioned in one of her Food for Thought Podcasts, that the desire to enjoy good health is universal- …
