Hi, I'm Emily.  I'm a mother of three from Colorado.  I became a vegan after being so frustrated with my ever-sick children and the constant stream of prescriptions we were taking.  I was told by my doctor that fruits and veggies were the key to health, and she gave me a recommendation for JuicePlus.  I attended a free seminar and learned about veganism.  I wasn't totally convinced I could give up the dairy I loved, but after reading The China Study by T. Colin Campbell, it was no longer an option for me.  I researched stacks and stacks of books both for and against veganism and I couldn't find anything remotely compelling on the non-vegan side.  So I went cold um...turkey? And I have never looked back.
