Steve Blank Quotes

For many of us, it's too difficult to jump in to vegan full on because it's just so different than the way we grew up eating. But if we take small steps - like replacing cow's milk with almond or soy milk, or using veggie sausage instead of sausage made from animals - we can keep enjoying the things we grew up loving, just better versions of them.

I did the whole non-dairy thing for a year.

I'm about 90 percent vegan. I think veganism is really well suited for training, at least for me anyway.

You don't have to become a vegan. You can become a plant-passionate, plant-inspired bean lover!

I have this wonderful personal chef who sources and stocks all my organic produce and I basically live on five smoothies a day. I'm totally vegan. I blend this green concoction with kale, cucumber, broccoli, string beans, avocado. My protein comes from protein powder. There is absolutely no milk, butter, cheese.

There's just a certain fear that people have when they put meat coming out of a printer in their mouth.

For example, I used to put red wine in a big pot with the meat that I'd cooked in fat, and it was, of course, delicious. When I gave up meat, I wondered what I would make. That turned out to be vegetables, really organic and fresh.

After you give up meat for about a week, you don't really crave it anymore.
