How the Low-FODMAP Diet Saved My Colon
Having been an avid plant-based eater for over thirty years, I thought I knew it all. I was never ill, I was full of energy, and, to prove that vegans get enough protein, I even achieved a Guinness World Record in speed skiing with one leg at the age of forty-seven. I thought I knew … Continued

Appealing to Common Identity, Not Vegan Identity, Effectively Promotes Change
If you have seen and are convinced by the impressive body of evidence showing that consuming animals and animal products is unhealthy for our bodies, our society, and the environment, and if you want to make the world a better place, you might quickly run up against the question of how best to share this … Continued
