Vegetarian Star

HLN anchor Jane Velez Mitchell devoted an entire chapter to vegetarians, AR issues in her book iWant.

As expected, some great quotes can be taken from the chapter, “Veganism/Animal Activism: I Want to Make a Difference.”

Here are a few that cover diet, animal welfare and the environment.

“The mutt in the shelter is just as good a dog and often healthier and smarter. Certainly, a mutt is less likely to be inbred.”

“By going vegan, the average American consumer can become a hero, sparing the lives of hundreds of animals every year.”

“Just as sobriety cleansed and elevated me, so did going vegan.”

“The vegan transformation I’ve experienced goes way beyond diet. It’s really allowed me to put my spiritual and moral concepts into action on a daily basis.”

“Switching to a vegetable-rich diet is also the single most important thing you can do for the environment.”

“If you want to run like a horse and not look like a house, switch to veggie burgers.”

“One day, humans will look back and view the treatment of animals in the early twenty-first century as barbaric and the mark of a primitive society.”

Wow.

Only three more quotes needed before we have our very own Veg 10 Commandments.

Jane Velez-Mitchell’s got a new book coming out in October.

iWant is all about her journey to recovering from iwanting too much and that desire leading to overeating, smoking, excessive drinking, and excessive consumption.

Jane is no stranger to sharing her vegan beliefs in her work on Issues With Jane Velez-Mitchell on CNN’s Headline News, and iWant includes a chapter titled, “Veganism/Animal Activism: I Want to Make a Difference.”

Making a difference means making thoughtful purchase choices that will ultimately affect everything surrounding us from the planet to our health to the economy.

According to heeb’n’vegan, Jane writes these choices are sometimes so overwhelming, she has to pray about it.

“Every morsel of food I put into my mouth is an environmental, political, moral, and spiritual choice. Every household product I buy is an environmental, political, moral, and spiritual choice. I always try to think before I choose. Sometimes, when I’m in a quandary, I pray before I choose.”

Making good choices about our purchases isn’t as easy as looking at the bottom line. Organic or local? Vegan company or mainstream business offering a line of vegan products? Trade Fair trade for your favorite brand?

How do you make the tough purchase decisions in your life? What rules do you follow?
