and a bite of my own life: today I wore my “Go Vegan and No Body Gets Hurt” T-shirt. At the Avila Barn shop the clerk said she liked it and that she had tried going vegan raw but it was too hard. We had a good discussion about taking steps. Then later I stopped at the grocery store and when I was returning to my car a guy heading from his car said “We love your T-shirt”. I don’t know who “we” was but I said thanks.
A savory bite.
fantastic!
I should get that shirt
