FAMOUS VEGANS

When I changed my diet I was thrilled to find out that I was not alone in my new way of thinking about food; that there are many famous, inspirational and influential people who are already doing it!

Some people change their diets in order to improve their health, others to improve their physical performance and some for the benefit of the animals and planet.
My choice was health, but I could not help to notice a greater physical stamina and vitality and I only hope that because of my simple dietary choices there is a little less animal suffering and abuse!
