Be gentle with yourself. Avoid thinking in terms of forever.
Resolve to eliminate all animal products from your diet
for two weeks, a month, whatever promise of time you feel you can live up to.
Your positive changes will inspire continued commitment.

Experience a new enjoyment in cooking and dining.
Start with simple recipes, such as a tofu omelette or stir-fry. 
With added confidence, advance to more gourmet dishes. 
Vegan eating is not a sacrifice, but a fulfilling culinary adventure.
If you eat out, support vegan/vegetarian restaurants whenever possible. 
Be specific about ordering vegan meals in standard restaurants and on airlines.
  The greater the demand, the higher the quality will become. 

We vote for what we believe with our dollars.
Support businesses and products
that are humane.

Find the local vegan/vegetarian groups in your area.
A support system is invaluable in helping you to remain strong in your conviction.
Veganize your home, one room at a time.
In the kitchen, replace all the animal products
with substitutes. In the bathroom, do the same. 
Remove all leather, wool, silk and furs
from your home. 		 If you are living with loved ones
who do not yet understand your new direction,
remember the wise words of Albert Schweitzer:
"Example is not the main way to influence others,
it is the only way."
If you are a parent, use delicious recipes
to awaken the taste-buds of your children.
Share with them your reasons for choosing
a more compassionate way of eating.
Children have a natural kinship with animals.		 A delicious school lunch can easily be prepared  
that will make your children's schoolmates envious. 
Include a non-dairy milk, vegan burger, VeganRella burrito and a carob cupcake.

 Make your mind your ally.
Rather than envisioning the foods
that you no longer eat,
envision the wide variety of foods you now enjoy,
and the unlimited treats you have yet to discover.
