A few decades ago, meatless meals were rare.  Now people are going even further, trying a vegan diet-- no eggs, dairy, honey, or products from animals. Former President Bill Clinton is a recent convert and credits it with helping to reverse his heart disease. Natalie Portman has been a vegan for years.

So what can you do if you're interested in making the change, but don't know where to start?  Pickup The 30-Day Vegan Challenge by Colleen Patrick Goudreau.  From understanding where to get protein, calcium, iron, and vitamin D to baking without eggs, eating out, and the easy preparation of plant-based foods for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and snacks, Patrick-Goudreau offers information, ideas, social strategies, and recipes for 30 days of living vegan in a mostly non-vegan world.
