A positive approach. Who would have thunk it. We do need to stop being so judgmental on people who are overweight and unhealthy, so much better to show them a way that will give them nearly immediate results. Financial incentives are also good. I think they should extend to everyone that wants to change if they aren't already. A person doesn't have to be overweight or have serious health problems to benefit from going vegan.

I hope to be 100% vegan before the end of this year. So far I have given up meat. Then I gave up eggs. I am working on giving up cheese, but I still use sprinkles of Parmesan occasionally. Oops haven't really given up eggs, totally, I still use mayo sometimes. But, I am working on it when I am out of mayo before the end of this month, I won't be buying anymore. I would say I am 75% vegan. Oh, I am also giving up table sugar because of the way it is processed. I am finding out a lot of things I didn't know like marshmallows aren't vegan or possibly not even vegetarian. And vaccines aren't vegan either. So, there is a lot to learn and I hope to have learned enough to be able to apply vegan principles in my daily life without having to think about it all the time.
