Today Laura Theodore, the Jazzy Vegetarian welcomes Ruby Roth to talk about her new book, Vegan Is Love. Ruby Roth is an author-illustrator and activist living in Los Angeles. A vegan since 2003, she was teaching art in an after-school program when the children’s interest in healthy foods and veganism first inspired her to write her first book in 2009. Featured on CNN, FOX, NBC's Today Show, and other major media outlets,  Roth has received international attention for her sensitive, yet frank advocacy of a vegan diet and lifestyle. Complementing her degrees in art and American Studies, she has researched animal agriculture, health, nutrition, and the benefits of a plant-based diet for nearly a decade.  As a vegan consultant and speaker, Roth offers presentations such as "The Transformative Power of Veganism" and "A New Generation: Teaching Kids to Love Deeply, Think Critically, and Act Responsibly." Join us on the Jazzy Vegetarian Cruise! NEWSFLASH:Season 2 of Jazzy Vegetarian launches nationally via public television stations starting July 1, 2012 (check your local listings) and features 13 half-hour episodes serving up mouthwatering, vegan menus for anybody looking for delicious, nutritious food.
