“Without pushing an agenda (okay, maybe I’ve pushed a bit), I’ve spread a little veganism wherever I’ve gone. I’ve become friends with chefs at the meatiest restaurants you can imagine, and shown them a few things that opened their minds (and their menus) to vegan options. It’s easy to be convincing when the food is delicious. It doesn’t feel like a sacrifice–it feels like a step up.”6Goodreads. Tal Ronnen Quotes.
