Thanks so much for sharing, Xiao! As you can tell, I'm really passionate about showing how you can eat, feel, run and perform athletically well on a food stamp budget. I've been doing this for 32 years, and it has kept me I believe, from the gene that gave my mom, aunt & both sisters breast cancer. Most adults had major heart disease, diabetes and arthritis, with 3 cases of Alzheimer's thrown in too. Genes don't determine destiny. They take a trigger. Best kept secret in America...and elsewhere. There's no money in broccoli. When you understand that, then you have to be your own investigative reporter (like I was for 18 years) and figure out the truth about food! ;)

You're welcome Ellen. You are very great Ellen. You have done a lot for vegan world. You are an inspiration for every vegan in the world.

Oh, you're way too kind Xiao! This has just been a little payback for all the wonderful doctors like Dr. John McDougall and Neal Barnard who have helped me over the years...and so many others. I just used my reporting and financial backgrounds to talk about this in ways that maybe some had not considered before.

Thanks for your work on this site...so many ways that we can be connected now that never existed when I started out. That's another reason I do this. Sometimes, like when I started out, there was NO support. The only choice was to read another book. ;)

Great interview. I am particularly interested in this book as I have been spending a small fortune on vegan groceries every month . And I don't even eat organic or buy prepared ,processed foods. 

I LOVE eating vegan ,have never eaten so such a healthy, tasty an varied diet. 

But I love that no animals are harmed on my behalf. That's the most important to me.
