Practical handbook on living vegan in a non-vegan world.

The goal of this book is to provide support, advice and suggestions to those who are interested in veganism.
The first part of the book deals with the reasons for being vegan, how the authors went vegan and how to go vegan in three weeks.
The book continues with an in-depth discussion of Animal Rights, speciesism and factory farming. The authors link animal exploitation with broader forms of oppression and examine the philosophical and legal arguments that can be used to create a compelling framework for recognising animal rights. By focusing on factory farming, the authors examine animal oppression and explain why veganism is a way to combat exploitation.

Chapter 3 deals with how to deal with family, friends, co-workers and others, when the subject of veganism comes up.

In chapter 4, the authors explain how to survive in restaurants and grocery store, give tips for the travelling vegan and explain what vegans eat.

Chapter 5 discusses vegan fashion and cosmetics.
