Eat Healthy, Live Healthy!

About Me

Welcome to The Black Vegetarian Society of North Carolina Create or get your
very own MySpace LayoutsThis forum consists of a community of people from the Afrikan Diaspora that live a vegan (plant-based, excludes all animal products from diet and attire) or vegetarian (plant-based) lifestyle. Those that are aspiring or transitioning to lead a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle are invited to join the forum. “Veganism has given me a higher level of awareness and spirituality, primarily because the energy associated with eating has shifted to other areas.” Dexter Scott King
