Vegan Voices

More about the book

Why should one go vegan? Is veganism the change the world needs? This comprehensive collection features compelling testimonials that connect our food choices to pressing global issues, including personal and public health, environmental devastation from animal agriculture, and the loss of compassion for animals. It advocates for a cultural and spiritual transformation that embraces the commonalities among all living beings as a source of healing and positive change. Editor Joanne Kong has gathered influential changemakers from various backgrounds within the vegan movement, including activists, authors, athletes, and health professionals, showcasing the diversity of roles that have brought veganism into the mainstream. The essays are organized into six sections: "Our Kindred Animals," "Around the Globe," "Activism," "Body and Spirit," "The Arts," and "A New Future." This collection caters to a wide range of readers, from those new to plant-based lifestyles to seasoned advocates. Many essays offer deeply personal reflections on how veganism can profoundly impact our lives. The book serves as a source of inspiration and motivation for anyone seeking to foster a world of greater compassion and equality.
