Today's inspirational interview features a couple--and not just any couple, but the Brunks! Long-time, close friends of ours. 

For years, Dan and Jane have been my shining example of how vegans and omnivores can peacefully coexist. When Scott and I met the Brunks in 2004, we were not vegan--we weren't even vegetarian, but while many friends were unsupportive of our dietary changes years later, the Brunks were.

In fact, Dan was so supportive of my decision to be a vegetarian …

The Inspirational Interviewsseries is back this week with a sassy business woman who (get ready for it!) used happy herbivore recipes to meet her health, weight and fitness goals!

Today's inspirational interviewee is our youngest starlet yet. At just 15, Bethany changed (and saved!) her own life when she changed her diet. The story of Bethany's strength and dedication to healing herself will surely inspire us all.

HH: First, the million dollar question: How long have you been vegan?

Bethany: Three years.

HH: How did you first hear about veganism? I mean, when I was 12, I was still playing with Barbie dolls. I wasn't exactly tuned in to my …

Last time we talked to Kate about how she defeated her debilitating condition by diet alone (even when her doctors put no credence in the vegan diet as a cure!).  Now she's back to talk to us about vegan mommyhood, dating as a single vegan and making mixed-diet families work. 

HH: You are a mom to two adorable vegan boys. Tell us about them.

Kate: My boys are 4 1/2 and 2 3/4 right now. They have both been raised …
