It is true that veganism is a serious issue, but there should be fun involved. Why do anything if it doesn't bring some joy at the end of the day?
Sharon Gannon
Human overconsumption is a greater problem than human population growth, and meat eating is a big part of that problem.

How we treat others will determine how others treat us, and how others treat us will determine who we are.

We must stop viewing ourselves as separate and disconnected from the rest of life, as if we are a special case and the laws of nature or karma do not apply to us.

Lions and other carnivorous animals do a lot of things besides eat meat. They live outdoors, not in houses they don't wear clothes or drive around in cars they usually sleep for many hours after eating a meal. Why cite just one of the many things that they do and argue that we should imitate them? This doesn't make much sense.
Sharon Gannon

Sharon Gannon
Don't try to do this by yourself: to become a good yogi you need a teacher. Find a teacher you can bow to, who can teach you how to be kind - how to serve others - because the key to enlightenment lies in that. Be humble, work hard, study and practice. Chant the Name of God, do japa and meditate, every day.
Sharon Gannon
We create the world we live in. If we want to change what we don't like in the world, we must start by changing what we don't like about ourselves.
Sharon Gannon
What we see in the world around us is just a reflection of what is inside of us.
Sharon Gannon
Vegan food is not only good for you, the animals, and the planet, but cooking vegan can be simple, easy, and fun.
Sharon Gannon
To cultivate compassion, try to remember that others are doing the best they can, just like you, and that when someone does something abusive, they are getting something that they feel is positive from the experience.
Sharon Gannon
If we weren't so dirt-conscious, we would obtain adequate vitamin B12 from soil, air, water, and bacteria, but we meticulously wash and peel our vegetables now - and with good reason, as we can't be sure our soil is not contaminated with pesticides and herbicides.
Sharon Gannon
Don't wait for a better world. Start now to create a world of harmony and peace. It is up to you, and it always has been. You may even find the solution at the end of your fork.
Sharon Gannon
To find out how much protein you need, take your weight and divide it by three. Rest assured, a whole foods, varied plant-based diet will give you all the protein you need.
Sharon Gannon
Be confident in yourself, in your abilities, and in your goals. Then go for it.
