I'm pretty sure she wants you to go vegan too! Last weekend I picked up her New York Times Bestselling book, t he kind diet - A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet . I don't usually pick up books with the word "diet" in the title - not that I don't need to diet - I just don't read those books. It was the "Saving the Planet" part that caught my eye. Well, I have to say I do like her book. Not that I'm ever going to give up cheese though. EVER. Never ever. Not in a million years. Not this French girl :) So I guess I'll never go vegan...however, reading the book has helped me recommit to reducing my meat consumption, which, according to Alicia Silverstone, will help save the planet! (By the way, watching the film Food Inc., twice, had the same effect on me. I cut back on meat, but what meat I do buy is organic. If you haven't seen this documentary - you should! It's pretty eye-opening.) Si
