The Juicy Bits:

Kathy's simple spiritual values: kindness, mercy, alleviate suffering, be a responsible steward of the planet
We all need fun food to go with healthy food. We get it all as vegans.
The same stuff that clogs arteries in the heart clogs blood vessels to the penis.
Veganism means not contributing to all the -isms.
Most Americans eat 250 animals EACH YEAR.
Spirituality means considering the least among us.
Individual protein needs depend on age, athleticism, pregnant, nursing.
Fiber is your body's b*tch.
Plant protein doesn't have growth hormones, antibiotics, preservatives, colorings, salmonella, ecoli.
Eating a varied whole food plant based diet gets you all the amino acids and nutrients your body needs.
Crowd out, don't cut out.
Kathy's favorite foods: spaghetti and vegan meatballs, vegan burger and fries (and martini), pancakes, protein drinks (vega sport, FYTA, OWYN)
