After hearing my son turned vegan, I thought he'd joined a cult or got a tattoo of Charles Manson on his butt.

Mind you, this was coming from a guy who could solve a Rubik's Cube in four minutes but still struggled with the complexity of a plant-based diet.

I did some deep, thorough research. And by that, I mean I got sidetracked by a Laurel and Hardy video on YouTube.

But hey, the body of research is growing, and so is my appreciation for a good salad. :-)
