Links/Resources

Below are links to friends, resources, etc. This is a work in progress. As the lists grow, I’ll break them into individual pages/posts, but keep this page as the content listing.

Abolitionist Vegans

• Gary L. Francione, author of Introduction to Animal Rights: Your Child or the Dog?, and Animal Rights: The Abolitionist Approach. I consider Francione to be one of the most important thinkers on animal rights. I recommend that any thinking person consider his ideas.
• Jenna & Bob Torres, producers of the Vegan Freak Radio and authors of Vegan Freak: Being Vegan in a Non-Vegan World (Tofu Hound Press). Bob also authored Making A Killing: The Political Economy of Animal Rights — which is also a worthwhile read.

Raw Food & Equipment

• OrganicLives Enterprises is a Vancouver, BC, Cananda, based company with high integrity offering a range of raw food items and kitchen equipment. The owner is a long-time vegan and has provided me with a lot of support as I moved to eating an almost entirely raw food diet. Any products that OrganicLives carries, I almost exclusively buy from them.
• NatureProvides – Eat Your Way to Health. Learn Agathe’s miraculous story of how she healed herself and her family by switching to a raw vegan diet. By extension, she is helping to heal the world. Agathe makes nut milk bags, sprouting bags, and soon you’ll be able to get her amazing raw vegan crackers too.
