The 2nd Annual Terrific Thanksgiving Turkey Pledge!

Hello beauties - 

Well, Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and with that, the hustle and bustle of finding just the right food to display on the table for everyone to munch on. Stuffing! Mashed Potatoes! Cranberry sauce out of a can! Hey, you can take the girl out of New Jersey, but you can't take the New Jersey out of the girl...



This year, I am challenging you - YES YOU! - to a

TERRIFIC THANKSGIVING


TURKEY PLEDGE!!!
 
 
We did it last year with fabulous success - nearly 100 pledges on the blog!

Here's how it goes:

First: Watch this amazing video below my friend and fellow activist Ciddy Fonteboa made last year that rocked right into our hearts: 


Second: In the comment section below, I want you to make a firm commitment NOT to eat turkeys this Thanksgiving.  You can say something as simple as "No turkey for me!" or as long as "I would never dream of consuming turkeys because their too cute to eat, pass the tofurky please!"

I would love to see if we can get around 100 pledges by Thanksgiving this year. And don't worry - you can be a vegan, vegetarian, or meat-eater-slowly-transitioning-to-kiss-worthy-vegan and still post a comment below!
Here’s to a delicious, compassionate 
holiday season!

Happy World Vegan Day!

From my little Los Angeles family to yours, a very Happy World Vegan Day to YOU! 
Celebrate this day, my friends, with delicious plant-based food and compassionate choices. Enjoy it, and allow it to remind you that the animals of this world need each and every one of you, yes YOU!, to be strong, kind, positive voices for them. More so now than ever. 
“Be passionate and follow your heart, which will encourage and empower yourself and others. And listen to your gut. It is shocking what happens on factory farms; it is not wrong to feel that people should know about it and want it to stop.” 
- Gene Baur, co-founder and president of Farm Sanctuary
