Hi McCoy …….  I guess I do sound radical to many people, but in my mind I'm not radical at all.    I just want to live as harmless a life as possible.   There are many vegans in the world today, and in my area even many raw vegans, which is something I wouldn't attempt.   They seem radical to me, but for them it's quite a natural way of life.    So I guess "radical" is kind of a subjective term.

I do a lot of animal rights petitioning, letters, etc. online and communicate with others who feel the same way as I do.   I belong to several animal welfare groups too.   There is a big sub-culture developing of people (mostly young people, I am happy to say), who are very interested in changing the way animals in the world are treated, and helping the environment.  It's an exciting thing to see and be a part of, even though I play such a small part.   

Your brunch sounds purrrrfect !    I keep a bowl full of almonds, raisins, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut chips and goji berries on the counter to nibble at.   It's an easy way to get lots of protein and other nutrients without cooking, LOL.   

IDF,
Laila
