for those of you wanting to lower your footprint and go more Vegan, this may be helpful Fwd: Natalie Portman to narrate "Eating Animals" film

[V Jacobi]

Sawasdee Krab Amigos,

...and for the second week in a row I need to extend a big thank-you to Josh Warchol. Last week he dealt with some thorny issues with our email software and this week he upgraded everything so these issues will hopefully never resurface. I get a lot of nice feedback from people who like reading this newsletter each week, and there's no way Vegan.com or its newsletter would be possible in its current form were it not for Josh.

I've been consumed with a demanding writing project lately but I found time to do a nice upgrade to our nuts page. There are all sorts of benefits to including a small amount of nuts in your daily diet, and they're an awesome snack. So please check out that page to learn more.

Hey, and give our grocery page some love. I've cherry picked all the very best deals that Amazon has on vegan foods, some of which you won't be able to find locally at any price. As always your purchases generate commissions that allow me to keep improving Vegan.com while continuing to be one of the meat industry's main antagonists.
