If you like sour cream, you'll love this. Tofutti Sour Supreme is better than sour cream because it’s dairy-free, and there no cholesterol or extra-fat! Its wonderful flavor and texture make it perfect for dips and toppings or to use in your favorite recipe. Enjoy the plain or guacamole variety, and chose hydrogenated-free, for an extra healthy version.
Tofutti has an extensive line of dairy-free products, including pints of ice cream, ice cream sandwiches and bars, Better than Cream Cheese, Pan Crust Pizza Pizzaz, and so much more. Thanks to Tofutti, compassionate people can still indulge in cruelty-free treats and the cow’s milk can go where it belongs… to her calf!

Research reveals that chlorophyll, a natural pigment found in dark green plants, helps fight cancer growth and acts as an antioxidant in the body. Chlorophyll is important for photosynthesis to take place in plants. It protects against various chemical carcinogens, which are involved in the promotion of cancer.
A study examined a population in eastern China where fungal contamination of grains and nuts is very common, resulting in a high rate of liver damage and cancer in the people who eat them. After supplementing with chlorophyllin –- the synthetic counter part of chlorophyll –- the incidence of liver cancer among that population decreased significantly.
Sources of chlorophyll are greens such as spinach, kale, green beans, arugula, peas and more.

Eric Prescott is a man of many talents… and he puts them to use for the greater good! An actor, director, producer, writer, and speaker, Eric is also a dedicated animal rights activist. In April of 2002, he went from omnivorous eater to vegan between lunch and dinner. After spending a couple hours doing internet research to learn about how animals are raised for food, he couldn't stand the thought of contributing to such cruelty any longer.
Having experienced the value of the internet firsthand, he decided to share more information in an animal-friendly context and to leverage current events into action by launching An Animal-Friendly Life in 2005. Eric recently moved to Boston with his wife and founded The Boston Vegan Association. The new group has been conducting food outreach and other activism in the city and has been growing at an impressive rate!
Eric will be speaking at the Animal Rights 2008 National Conference in Alexandria, VA this August. Meet him there!
