To maximize learning, it's important to be healthy in a healthy environment. Nothing HEALs Humans, the Environment, and Animals more than Learning to embrace plant-based living. We all know it's wrong to hurt or kill for pleasure. Yet we're taught that we need animal products to live. In fact, the opposite is true. Even small amounts of animal protein can be detrimental to our health and well-being. Animals do not have to suffer and die for our food.

Veganism = 100% Plant-Based Living

A vegan (VEE-gun) does not eat, wear, or use animal products of any kind, including meat, egg, dairy, fish, seafood, honey, leather, fur, silk, or wool.

A balanced vegan diet is healthful, nutritionally adequate, and appropriate for all stages of life, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, and athletics. (American Dietetic Association, Volume 109, Issue 7, Pages 1266-1282 July 2009)

A vegan also rejects the common notions that animals exist for human entertainment, labor, sport, or medical testing. Science is discovering that all animals feel pain, possess intelligence, use language, and lead rich social lives. They want to live, not be food on a plate, a pawn in a circus or zoo, or an experiment in a lab.

Vegan Food Tips
Vegans can and do eat almost every type of food they ate before becoming vegan. Besides a bounty of fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, breads, and pastas, delicious plant-based substitutes exist for nearly every animal product, including traditional comfort foods. While it’s best to eat primarily whole, unprocessed foods, vegan substitutes are welcome treats and can help you transition to plant-based eating. Included: recipes for vegan lasagna, meatloaf, chocolate cake, ice cream, and more.

Veg-Friendly Eateries - HappyCow.net
As societies move toward healthier eating, it's becoming common to find vegan options even in mainstream restaurants. It's also good for business if a restaurant can host a large group that has a vegan or two in it. The HappyCow website rates vegan and veg-friendly eateries and stores by global region. They even offer a smartphone app!

V-Cards!
Vegan restaurants are fantastic, but eating vegan at mainstream restaurants can be challenging, especially in foreign countries. Call beforehand to see what options are available. Many chefs relish the challenge of preparing a special vegan meal just for you. At the restaurant, hand a V-Card to your waiter to ensure your meal is completely free of animal products. (V-Cards are available in over 60 languages.)
