Below you will find  Breighan’s answers to the wee survey I sent out recently.
In one word, why are you vegan?
BOWELSHow long have you been vegan?
10.5 yearsWho would win in a fight: Quinoa or Cous Cous?
Quinoa, obv. It’s got more calcium and iron and was held sacred by the Incans. Couscous is arguably not even a whole grain. Quinoa would kick the tar out of that poser.Would you prefer to lead a revolution or to live quietly in the woods?
I’m getting old now. I know there are people way more passionate than me. When I was 21, I would’ve been out there right in front – in fact, I was. Someone else would do a better job. I’ll do what I can from the woods to help. I promise.If there is a revolution, will it be televised or a Facebook event?
Oh gawd, a facebook event. Nobody ever gets off their ass anymore. I think the revolution was the invention of Daiya cheese – or it seemed like that from the vegan Google alerts that I was getting.Favourite vegan thing in your town (Halifax, Nova Scotia):
Hmm… Heartwood Bakery and Cafe, probably. That restaurant just keeps getting better. The specials are always fantastic and everchanging. It’s nice to know that it’s there.
