“Dan and I spent a lot of years talking to people who were either vegan or they stopped being vegan at some point and they were struggling with it. We kept hearing the same things over and over again, that ‘it’s too hard,’ ‘the food’s weird,’ or ‘I really don’t know how to use things like mock meat or fake cheeses.’ And so we really wanted to address those issues.”

–Annie Shannon, co-author of the book that turns takes the meat, egg and dairy out of classic Betty Crocker Recipes, Betty Goes Vegan.

Alicia Silverstone has shared her ideas for an animal friendly Passover and Easter.

Alicia writes on The Kind Life:

“Last year I got thinking about the similarities between the Passover and Easter traditions. Jewish people search their homes for leaven before Passover starts to get it out of the house (since chametz or “leavening” isn’t allowed in the house during Passover).

“The most important thing is to be healthy, to drink a lot of water, to fight gravity as much as possible [laughs]. I am one of the few people who decided I wasn’t going to do any invasion with my face. I am almost a vegetarian, and I meditate, do yoga and love to hike.”

—Diane von Fürstenberg, fashion designer known for the “wrap dress,” to Vanity Fair.
