Description:

My name is Leslie Goldberg. I have been inching toward a plant-based diet for a very long time. Seeing Food, Inc. gave me an additional push. Then there was the "China Study." Then there was taking the Cornell University course on plant-based nutrtion. I'm now committed to only plants.

I was a writer for the San Francisco Examiner for nearly 15 years. I  taught journalism at several colleges around the San Francisco Bay Area. 

Some of my "vegan goals" -- start a monthly vegan pot luck in my community; get a vegan radio show going on our (very small) local radio network; teach plant-based nutrition and start doing some writing on this topic. 

I think there's a lot of work to do to get this message out!

Why I'm Vegan

Eric,
Thank you for your post. It's the message I need to hear over and over: Live and Let Live. It IS difficult having this information and watching the uninformed do what they do. I just remind myself that I feel very good eating this way for so many reasons. And that is a gift. That is enough.

Dean Ornish copped out and his mealy-mouthed stuff about well, don't worry so much about this unless you're REALLY sick. Ummm, I guess it's, "Don't deny yourself the "fun stuff of life," and when you get sick you can buy my book/sign up for my program....Sure we take credit cards!"

Thanks for this thoughtful post -- a letter to Wolf is a great idea. I'm glad Ornish is nudging Mcdonald's into the 21st century. McDonald's has also made progress in the animal welfare column thanks to Temple Grandin. But, I can't forget Supersize Me! The stuff they market to CHILDREN is just unconscionable. I could never support a company that cares so little for its customers.

Oh well, of course you're right about both Temple Grandin and McDonald's. It's hideous and indefensible. Sometimes I like to try and look on the stupidly bright side of things. OK the fantasy side of things so I don't collapse into a puddle. Thank you I already have seen enough pictures, video footage and read enough books. It is burned into my mind.
