A Vegman in Naples (and Capri)
January 20, 2013 in Lifestyle by anna | visit anna's blogI don't know if you know "Eat, Pray, Love". Some might say it is a chick book, and maybe it is, even though I don't know how an autobiographic story could possibly be a chick book. However, I read it a few years ago in Morocco, and I'm s... read more

Eating Vegan Is (Not) Healthy

Adopt a Turkey
November 17, 2011 in Lifestyle by anna | visit anna's blogOne word about turkeys... What would be yours? Since you're reading Vegman, it's probably neither "dinner" nor "delicious". "Ugly" maybe?
