yay!!! i saw her last night for the first time in awhile and she told me how she's been thinking about going vegan. she's lactose intolerant anyway, so she doesn't drink milk or eat cheese (those are the hardest hurdles, i think) and rarely eats meat as is. i was encouraging, without being preachy. but i reccommended skinny bitch. i thought the tone would appeal to her, and explained how it's not really about being 'skinny' and explained why it's written in that way (to get people's attention, then sneak the info on them).
well she just texted me and said she bought the book, has already read half of it, and IS going vegan. for sure.
another recruit!
yay!
Interestingly enough, one of the apartments I looked at down here had a vegan book on the couch. I asked if she was vegan, and she said "yes! I just turned after reading Skinny Bitch!"
That book seems to be bringing in a ton of converts.
i read it after i'd already gone vegan. but it just fueled my fire i guess. anyway, whatever it takes to get em on our side, right? ;)b
Yeeaaaayyyyyyy

Great work, AP!!!
Yup! skinny bitch did it for me too. It is a powerful book that really puts you in touch with your own body. Congrats to your friend, I hope she sticks with it.
