We educate and demonstrate the values and benefits of veganism for your Health, our Environment and All Animals.
It is with great sadness that we pass on the news of Dr. John McDougall’s death. As the president of the Chicago Vegetarian Society, I brought him to Chicago in 1997 to speak to over 500 people at our Turkey-Free Thanksgiving Dinner at the Marriott - O'Hare Hotel. He was a magnificent speaker, and his captivating story motivated many toward our vegan lifestyle.

"These include not smoking, getting 3.5hrs of exercise/week, eating a healthy diet, and maintaining a healthy weight."
As soon as I turned 60, my focus on longevity intensified. I want to be as healthy as possible for as long as possible. I know many of you want the same. You want to live a long, active, engaged, healthy life and die young as late as possible.
Advances in public health, surgery, and medicine are trying to extend our lifespan, but what about our healthspan? Your lifespan is how long you live. Your healthspan is how many years you live a healthy, vibrant life. You want your healthspan to equal your lifespan.
The new science of longevity, based on the principles of Functional Medicine, is the science of health and restorative and regenerative medicine. It is not just treating disease but also building resilience and vitality longterm. If you believe your genes are stacked against you, this is even more reason to double down on the science of creating health.
A large European study called EPIC found that incorporating four simple behaviors can dramatically reduce your risk of developing diseases of aging (Alzheimer’s, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer). These include not smoking, exercising three and a half hours a week, eating a healthy diet, and maintaining a healthy weight.
These four behaviors alone seemed to prevent 93 percent of diabetes cases, 81 percent of heart attacks, 50 percent of strokes, and 36 per cent of all cancer cases.
I’ve experienced these amazing advances firsthand—chronologically, I’m 63, but my biological, or “inner” age, is only 42.
THE FUTURE IS VEGAN; either we stop the killing, or the killing will stop us

Being vegan isn't always easy. It helps to have support, especially from some "seasoned" 🧂 vegans- even if they came decades before our time! 🦕

Each glass of milk Increaes risk of dying. 😲
Just because they sell it does not mean you have to buy it! Switch to plant based milk!
👉🏼Dairy DOES NOT make strong bones or strong teeth, it’s actually doing the opposite!
👉🏼Calcium comes from plants! That’s where cows are getting it! You don’t need milk or cheese, the best way to absorb calcium is by eating them in plant form! 🌱🥦
👉🏼Dairy is and the TOP SOURCE of artery clogging saturated fat, it’s also promoting heart disease, cancer, allergies, asthma, ear infections, skin disorders, inflammation and dairy is being linked to Type 1 diabetes.
Cows don’t make milk for you they make it for their babies (that get taken away😥)
We are not supposed to drink milk made for a 300 pound baby cow folks!
If you care about your health or the health of your children start buying plant milks and give your children the nutrients they were intended to have👉🏼 from plants!🌱
