I just discovered your request that I contact you and therefore I am responding.
Although I am definitely influencing folks to become vegan, I have not always been 100%. I believe that “the perfect can be the enemy of the good.” I have no other vegans in my life and am extroverted, so being vegan remains a real challenge. I am also passionate about exercise (I started a running group decades ago in midMichigan and have run marathons), climate change, learning to love unconditionally and non duality. I follow Dr. McDougall and normally am not connected with the medical establishment. I believe that the medical industry is completely controlled by the drug companies and food industry. I take no prescription drugs or supplements. I am currently power walking six miles a day and have never had a real issue with weight. I have never suffered from chronic pain or had a serious illness. I am very grateful!
Thank you so much for your commitment to veganism!
Bless you.
