The good folks at NursingDegree.net offer 57 health benefits of going vegan and further explain:

"Vegans are frequently misunderstood as fringe eaters with an unnatural passion for animal rights. While many vegans do feel passionately about animals, its time for others to see that a vegan diet and lifestyle go way beyond animal rights. Following a healthy, balanced vegan diet ensures a host of health benefits as well as prevention of some of the major diseases striking people in North America."

With not a single mention of the word "prevention" in the new health care giveaway to big business, it's time for us to responsibility for our own health.
