"Veda Stram has produced an amazingly comprehensive, readable guide to abundant living that leaves animals and their ‘products’ off the menu and out of the house. This guide is both practical and ethical, a joy to savor and share. No one reading it can complain that vegan living is ‘too hard’ or restrictive. Especially important in my view is that the guide shines a light on the lovingness of the animals whose feelings and lives we violate by burying them – needlessly – in commodities."
~ Karen Davis, PhD, President, United Poultry Concerns

"This book is a truly indispensable guide to all things vegan for vegans and aspiring vegans alike, and I wish I had when I went vegan in 1976."
~ Kim Stallwood

"For someone who began her animal rights work at the age of 10 and was 30 years old herself when she discovered Veda’s 1992 book, I found it to be an invaluable tool, especially in a time when such things were extremely rare and unheard of. Further, that I was an ethical vegan and not someone with an interest in food per se, WHAT TO EAT WHEN YOU DON’T EAT ANIMALS really keeps me alive—by making meals so easy and hassle-free! How fitting that it should still be made available for others who’ve walked for years in my shoes."
~ Laura Moretti, Founder/Editor/Publisher, The Animals Voice

What a wonderful book you've written! Amazingly comprehensive! I learned about a lot of new to me vegan products.

And wonderful, wonderful photos of the animals so the reader can keep in mind who we do this for and why. Congratulations and much love.
