Vegan.com is one of the web's most authoritative and informative sites dedicated to veganism, vegan lifestyles, vegan health, and animal activism. Publisher/creator Erik Marcus sat down with us at the recent Animal Rights Conference to talk about his latest book, The Ultimate Vegan Guide: Compassionate Living Without Sacrifice, and the film Earthlings.

“There’s nothing like Earthlings. It’s an incredible resource for getting people turned on to animal exploitation and getting people aroused and sympathetic towards the issues. Earthlings has been one of the vital touchstone resources out there for the non-vegan world. It makes a huge difference for the animals.”

 In The Ultimate Vegan Guide, Erik is the vegan big brother you wish you had, offering honest, sensible how-to advice for any new vegan (or nearly vegan) as well as the occasional noogie. Readers benefit from his experience as he covers the tried and true, including shopping tips, basic nutrition, what to cook, dining out, and explaining your ethics to family and spouses.

Bravo Erik for another fine addition to the vegan library.
