"I had the privilege of getting to know Veda Stram over a decade
ago, and fed upon her infectious energy focused on compassion to
animals. I valued her resourcefulness. I'm embarrassed, though, not to
have feasted upon Veda's evolving magnum opus. I have a
discriminating palate, and am far too food-oriented for my own good,
but I have to say that even as a vegan of 21 years, I learned much
and was reinspired by her encyclopedic and accessible coverage.
Please download for free and learn of the abundance that awaits and
where no vegan goes hungry."

"This guide is wonderful. I never knew how many vegan options are
available, and how easy they are to make. Veda provides all the handy
information one needs while shopping, including a list of ingredients with
highly technical names that are actually animal products. The guide also
provides inspiring quotes and discusses important benefits of a vegan diet.
And everything is presented in such an easy-to-read manner. I love the light
touch of Veda’s prose. A great read and precious resource."

"Many people have the compassion and motivation to go vegan, but
don’t know where to start. They have the passion to help animals,
but lack the fundamentals of what to buy, what to cook, and what to
eat. This comprehensive guide helps make it easy. What to Eat When
You Don’t Eat Animals will take new vegans and pre-vegans

"This very comprehensive book by Veda Stram clearly demonstrates
that there is absolutely no need for anyone to eat animal products
in order to enjoy a delicious meal. These days, there are so many
tasty products to choose from there is no excuse for inflicting pain
on any animals. It was interesting read about Veda’s journey – mine
began a few years earlier in the Australian outback when I
encountered a ‘road train’ packed with cattle headed for the
slaughterhouse. This book contains a wealth of information and I
highly recommend it. Well done, Veda!"
~ Jenny Moxham
"Inspiring and informative. Long-time animal advocate Veda Stram has

great starter meal plans, harrowing facts about the nature of the
animal economy, and fascinating quotes from some of history's most
famous vegans. Highly recommended!"

help you and your loved ones make the leap into the deliciousness of
vegan food. If you have any concerns that going vegan will be a
sacrifice, you will be astonished at the products that taste like
the animal foods you love, but without the cruelty and environmental
devastation caused by animal agriculture. One of the biggest perks

compassion."

"This brilliant book is jam packed full of amazing food delights, and
the greatest part? - it's all wonderfully ethical, plant based and
compassionate at the source - for each and every meal! Extensive,
well researched information about food animal industries (and
beautiful images) alongside a rich and resourceful catalogue of
alternatives to meat, fish and dairy...with delicious suggestions
for just about every meal you could think of...to get animals/
species off the plate. Everyone should have this book, whether
vegetarian, vegan - or simply curious as a meat eater, to explore
the plantbased cooking world - and eat with full compassion towards
other species, helping to save the planet and of course - improve
our own health in the process too!"

"Veda Stram has produced an amazingly comprehensive, readable guide
to abundant living that leaves animals and their ‘products’ off the
menu and out of the house. This guide is both practical and ethical,
a joy to savor and share. No one reading it can complain that vegan
living is ‘too hard’ or restrictive. Especially important in my view
is that the guide shines a light on the lovingness of the animals
whose feelings and lives we violate by burying them – needlessly –
in commodities."

"This book is a truly indispensable guide to all things vegan for
vegans and aspiring vegans alike, and I wish I had when I went vegan
in 1976."
~ Kim Stallwood
"For someone who began her animal rights work at the age of 10 and
was 30 years old herself when she discovered Veda’s 1992 book, I
found it to be an invaluable tool, especially in a time when such
things were extremely rare and unheard of. Further, that I was an
ethical vegan and not someone with an interest in food per se, WHAT
TO EAT WHEN YOU DON’T EAT ANIMALS really keeps me alive—by making
meals so easy and hassle-free! How fitting that it should still be
made available for others who’ve walked for years in my shoes."
~ Laura Moretti, Founder/Editor/Publisher,

"Veda Stram has heartfully created and updated this much needed guide

What a wonderful book you've written! Amazingly comprehensive! I
learned about a lot of new to me vegan products. It would be
impossible for someone who has a copy to say they don't know what to
eat as a vegan, it's all in your book. Congratulations, it's a great
legacy for certain. And wonderful, wonderful photos of the animals
so the reader can keep in mind who we do this for and why.
Congratulations and much love.
