Kim Hanmin, a unique graphic novel writer and activist with the marine environmental group Sea Shepherds, builds his story step by step in this book about how he once enjoyed meat before becoming vegan, how he manages to uphold his values, and eventually how animals have approached him. The book also suggests ways to practice small efforts of veganism, and helps you become a vegan slowly without getting burdened with perfection. The final section presents the logic and philosophy of veganism through frequently asked questions. More than anything, Kim emphasizes that the purpose of vegans is not to achieve perfection, but to resolve to practice a healthier, ethical life and minimize the suffering of the planet and animals.
