If I started writing about climate change, justice in the workplace, torture, the health care crisis, deforestation, unjust imprisonment, overfishing, poverty, and corporate welfare, you might assume I was attempting to touch on some of the issues I found in today's headlines. But what if I told you I was here to write about being a vegan?

Yeah, being a vegan is a lot more than changing your diet. It can be about tofu and vegetables and delicious desserts -- but that's just a small taste, if you'll pardon the pun. As you'll soon read, choosing a plant-based lifestyle can be a powerful social and global choice.
