What do you like about this subject?

It's great to be able to help new vegetarians and vegans (or people who might just be interested in the topic) get a handle on eating in a healthy way without missing out on flavor.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I'm always looking for tasty new dishes.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

I'm just in it for health. Although I don't agree with animal testing at all.
