"Kindness and compassion towards all living beings is a mark of a civilized society. Racism, economic deprival, dog fighting and cock fighting, bullfighting and rodeos are all cut from the same defective fabric: violence. Only when we have become nonviolent towards all life will we have learned to live well ourselves." - Cesar Chavez
Though water is pretty much my favorite thing ever, it seems to not feel the same about me. I have lost three cell phones to various bodies of water. RIP.
I'm weird. And fine with that.
If you put vegan food in front of me, it's likely I won't be able to resist it. Except if it has coconut—then I just might have to gag a bit. Hey, don't say I didn't warn you.
I watch at least 2-5 episodes of Scrubs almost every night when I go to bed.
I work for peta2.com as Senior Street Team Coordinator. I do a lot of different things for my job, but one of my favorite things is hearing from Street Teamers, so always feel free to drop me a line.
Check me out babbling on about food.
Who I'd like to meet: Street Teamers! Or anyone interested in making the world a better place, really.
Hey Marta Im a street Team member and a long standing member of peta2 but i can never get any literature down here can you help me (i live in australia) also do you know if the college vegan cookbook will come out here??? Thanks Jack
Hey Marta-so I just got my vegan cookbook in the mail (not sure how I got it so early?) and I just wanted to tell you that it's amazing. I think even I can make the recipes in it. Nice job :)
That's weird that the cookbook is supposedly not out, I just got it this past wednesday at my local barnes and noble. I've made the mac and cheeze, pancakes and smoothie-which-name-escapes-me...I love it so far!! :D
but anyway, regardless of all that weird shifty date stuff... May 5th is my 2 years being vegan..happy irony :)

I wanna save the seals too. I am going to begin working for OCA (Ohio Citzen Action) come June; pretty much canvassing, door to door democracy. Love the quote in your Heroes section by César Chávez.
