veganism: I am writing a research paper for my English 102 class and need people to interview. It is about the negative affects of the meat and dairy industry and the positive affects of a vegan diet [I can extend this to vegetarian, if necessary]. Do you have any ideas on who I could seek out to interview? Specific people would be fantastic, but even general ideas are appreciated- thanks in advance :)|||Is there a whole foods or organic foods store in or near your town? Speaking from what I've observed, there are a lot of vegans that shop there. You might also try local restaurants that have vegan items or a vegan menu. While it might be weird to find a random customer at those places, members of their staff should have some information and would be good to interview. Hope this helps!|||I agree with Priscilla P...
