Vegan Freak: Being Vegan in a Non-Vegan World
By Bob Torres, Jenna Torres
In this informative and practical guide, two seasoned vegans offer tips and advice for

Also offering answers to questions such as "Do you, like, live on apples and twigs?" this reference dispels myths and explains the arguments for ethical, abolitionist veganism, encouraging everyone to embrace their inner vegan.
