I have been a happy vegan since 1991 (Thank you Dr McDougall) along with two of my adult children. Three of my grandchildren have been vegan since birth and are now healthy, tall teenagers. I am so proud of them. Becoming vegan was the best decision of my life. In my age group, I am one of the few who does not have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes (or pre-diabetic) or any other diseases. Even my arthritic joints (from injury) give me little trouble. Try a plant based diet (not french fries LOL) for two weeks and you will feel 20 years younger. A true fountain of youth.
Maybe you could initiate it!

Thanks for all these inspiring stories. Please bring more to this website! There is no vegan community where I live (in beef country Alberta) and its nice to connect and hear others' stories.
