Happy World Vegan Day

Today, November 1st, is World Vegan Day. So, Happy World Vegan Day to you. TIME magazine says:

November 1 is World Vegan Day, a celebration of people who don't eat meat. Or eggs. Or cheese. Or mayonnaise. Or honey. Or whey. Or gelatin. Or anything that comes from or includes an animal. Nor do they use any clothing, accessory or object made from an animal. No leather, no wool, no pearls, no ivory-keyed pianos. The animal-free holiday began in 1994, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Vegan Society.

I might add that Vegans eat a diversity of food that rivals (or in many cases exceeds) our animal eating counterparts and that this food is outrageously delicious with the added benefit of being cruelty free. TIME may say that we are "out there on the fringe," but there is no where I would rather be when it comes to our collective treatment of our furry and less furry friends.
