Great article!
Shows that midst the noise there is growing coverage of this lifestyle. Instead of being heckled we got praised!

Excellent article debbie! Thanks! I have bookmarked it for future reference.

My brother is a die-hard SAD eater and meat lover who struggles with his wt despite being extremely active almost every waking moment. Someday...

Great Article. Thanks for posting!

Love it! My husband is totally convinced that only sissy men eat a vegetarian diet, because the one and only guy he knew that came close drank green drinks and was rather small and wimpy. I wish everyone could really see men like Rip from the Engine 2 diet book, and truly realize how healthy this diet is for humans - men included! LOL!

Also, the list forgot "freegans", although it did include a variation called Gordon Freegans (?).

Freeganism is an anti-consumerist lifestyle. See

Great link. I'm glad one of the people interviewed, McCain, mentioned that he doesn't feel limited. The other guy said that he missed variety, which personally I can never understand. As if the only thing to eat besides meat is lettuce.

Thanks for the post. I am now a proud Hegan who would truly rather go through life without cancer, heart disease, stroke....How much more motivation does a person need? I can relate to the guy in the article who says he is scared to death of cancer. Wanting to avoid disease and stay healthy is my number one motivator.
