The Spartan Vegan Vision

Hi! I'm Jennifer, and Spartan Vegan is my creation. When I was 17, I attended North Carolina Governor's School in Raleigh, North Carolina. One night, we had a animal rights speaker come in and talk about animals as food and for experiments. I was so horrified, I went back to my dorm and told my friends that I didn't think I would eat meat anymore.... And I didn't! Five years later, and I have decided to end my love affair with dairy and take the plunge into veganism.

I have many ideas for this blog. I'll be reviewing some vegan cookbooks, offering up some vegan recipes, letting you know exactly why I made the choice to go vegan, and hopefully organizing a project or two I have up my sleeve! Henry, the dog, will be detailing the happenings with companion animals... And Kurt will offer you guys a break from my ranting! I have two dear friends who are both vegan cooking goddesses, so I might get them to write a guest-blog or two! And ultimately, I would like to set up a support group for vegans, vegetarians, and all those who make a difference in the Spartanburg area.

I would like to stress that you do not have to be vegan or even vegetarian to read this blog. I know most Americans have a love-affair with meat, and it would be very, very hard to stop it. But consider this, EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS! Every time you skip out on a burger you are making a difference, even if you just eat a chicken sandwich the next day. And I, the animals, your body, and the environment thank you for it!
