Read More21 Days…
After starting to read the books Vegan Freak and Breaking the Food Seducation (the folks at PCRM are amazing), I’ve decided to take their challenge and go vegan for 21 days.

This is just an extension of my desire to be healthy with a little bit of ethics thrown in for good measure.

This is a good decision for me since I need to concentrate on reading for my thesis, but I’ll miss my friends Gray’s Anatomy, House, Brothers and Sisters, Battlestar, and Desperate...

Well more to come in the days and weeks ahead. As part of my thesis process I’m going to commit to write something every day. Hopefully that will result in some sort of blog post each...
