Even Vegans Die is a compassionate and practical guide to care giving, inclusion and acceptance when we or others are ill or dying. It includes advice and information for ensuring that our loved ones, human and nonhuman, will be cared for as we wish when we are gone. Patti Breitman examines the false promise of eternal health when promoting a plant based diet, and the harm that does to ourselves and our community. This is a book for anyone who ever thought that their yoga, running, diet or healthy lifestyle choices guaranteed protection from disease and mortality. If you were ever embarrassed when you got sick, or didn't know what to say when someone else was sick, this book is for you.
Patti Breitman is a co-founder of Dharma Voices for Animals and the director of the Marin Vegetarian Education Group. In 2016 she was honored with the Lisa Shaprio Award for Unsung Vegan Heroes. Patti lives in Fairfax and considers herself the happiest vegan in town.
