Mayim Bialik

“Find the foods that already do not require meat. Find the foods that already do not necessarily require dairy or find substitutes that you find palatable. When people say, “What do you eat?” I list all the things that they also eat just without it being vegan.”

Kathy Freston Gives Pet Lovers Vegan Advice In “Tails Inc.”

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, October 1st, 2012 in Animal Issues, Authors, Food & Drink.

Kathy Freston

Kathy Freston is featured in the October issue of Tails Inc., a magazine devoted to all things pet-friendly for pet owners.

She had a smile on her face, and I could tell how happy she was. I was thinking to myself how much I loved animals.
