HELLO
Since I became Vegan... what people say... • I've noticed for the first time that I am living a clean life - clean physically, spiritually, emotionally and morally. ~ Christine • I have noticed that I feel so much more inner peace, and a sense of connection with other beings. It is quite liberating. Peter
• I became a vegan the day I watched a video of a calf being born on a factory farm. The baby was dragged away from his mother before he hit the ground. The helpless calf strained its head backwards to find his mother. The mother
bolted after her son and exploded into a rage when the rancher slammed the gate on her. She wailed the saddest noise I'd ever heard an animal make, and then thrashed and ...dug into the ground, burying her face in the muddy placenta. I had no idea what was happening respecting brain chemistry, animal instinct, or whatever. I just knew that this was deeply wrong. I just knew that such suffering could never be worth the taste of milk and veal. I empathized with the cow and the calf and, in so doing, my life changed." ~ James McWilliams (Professor at Texas University, USA)
I'm Vegan
Carl Lewis-American Athlete
He was voted "Sportsman of the Century" by the International Olympic Committee and was named "Olympian of the Century" by the American sports magazine Sports Illustrated. He was also voted World Athlete of the Decade, 1980s and Olympic Athlete of the Century award.
"My best year of track competition was the first year I ate a vegan diet. Moreover, by continuing to eat a vegan diet, my weight is under control, I like the way I look. I enjoy eating more, and I feel great."
Carl's outstanding career includes 9 gold and one silver Olympic medal in 100 and 200m sprints, long jumps and 4 x 100 m relays.
