Hollywood celebrities are doing it. Corporate moguls are doing it. But what about those of us living in the real world--and on a real budget?
Author and holistic health practitioner Victoria Moran started eating only plants nearly thirty years ago, raised her daughter, Adair, vegan from birth,
and maintains a sixty-pound weight loss. In
Main Street Vegan, Moran offers a complete guide to making this dietary and lifestyle shift with an
emphasis on practical "baby steps," proving that you don't have to have a personal chef or lifestyle coach on speed dial to experience the physical
and spiritual benefits of being a vegan. This book provides practical advice and inspiration for everyone--from Main Street to Wall Street, and
everywhere between.
"Finally, a book that isn't preaching to the vegan choir, but to the people in the pews--and the ones who can't fit in those pews. This is a book for the Main Street majority who aren't vegans. Once you read this, you'll know it's possible to get healthy and enjoy doing it--even if you live in Paramus or Peoria."--
Michael Moore "A great read for vegans and aspiring vegans."--
Russell Simmons "Yet another divine gift from Victoria Moran. Main Street Vegan covers it all--inspiration, information, and out of this world recipes. This book is a gem."--
Rory Freedman, co-author Skinny Bitch "Main Street Vegan is exactly the guide you need to make changing the menu effortless. Victoria Moran covers every aspect of plant-based eating and cruelty-free living, with everything you need to make healthy changes stick."--
Neal Barnard, MD, president, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, and
NY Times bestselling author of
21-Day Weight Loss Kickstart
"A great book for anyone who's curious about veganism. It shows that not all vegans are weirdos like me."--
