Following is a link to the post "A Vegan No More" by Tasha, "food loving, feminist, and globetrotting political scientist." In this blog post, Tasha eloquently describes her painful, introspective journey from dedicated vegan to conscientious omnivore. Plagued by the symptoms of a deficient diet, she spoke with doctors and researchers who encouraged an immediate change of her diet that affected her life, her choices, and her views on the sustainability of veganism. She passionately stood by her vegan beliefs until the truth hit home: "that while there are people who can be quite healthy on a vegan, or predominantly vegan, diet, there were many people who simply could not."

Tasha not only deals with her personal struggle with veganism, but she also seamlessly ties in her feministic beliefs. She dialogues with the conflict of having a Capitalistic and Patriarchal society in light of world-wide poverty and 21-Century women's rights. My own views on this subject are not necessarily the same as Tasha's. But I am in awe of the stamina, passion, and conscientiousness with which she comes to these issues. I encourage you to take the time to think of your impact on the world, and more importantly of your impact on your local community and friends.
