Welcome to the F-U-N Vegetarian Community!

Welcome to www.VegHaven.org! Before we get to the fun we have one reality check to complete.

The video below shows what happens every day around the world.

I swear, after this video, we're a lot of F-U-N!



"A human being is a part of the whole called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty". Albert Einstein


Welcome!

Many people will find the above video shocking but one needs to keep in mind that what appears on that video is what happens every day around the world. [Why Vegetarian]

It's not some special report or some special interest lobbying to sell more "stuff". It's simply a video that shows you what happens every day all over the world.

Take pride my friend! Know what a tremendous difference you're making in the world when you follow a plant based diet. Your participation here is makingh a difference.

Vegans and Vegetarians like you are part of a human revolution that's making a real differnce in the world.

Be proud. The fight for the environment, the fight for animals is not "out there" somewhere. It's in living rooms and homes like yours. It's on dinner tables accross the world every night of the week.

Whether you care about animals or you want to help the environment; moving to a plant based diet is the single most impactful thing you can do!

That's where VegHaven.org hopes to makea difference. Besides myself this site is run by some great volunteers like Toni . I hope you leave them a comment and tell them how much you appreciate them.

This site and all the projects you see us doing are supported by from the Goggle Ads you see on the right. We take that check and each month we decide were to donate it! [Learn More]

If you're not Vegetarian or Vegan you're welcome here too. In fact we consider it an honor to help people learn more so they can make an informed decision. We have no judgements on where you are right now. All that we ask is that your participation here be sincere.

Use the resources on this site, ask others their experaince and use this community as a tool to help you achieve your highest human potential.

I've been successful in other areas for my life and now want to apply what I've learned to something that matters. I'm most known for my promotion of a movie called "The Secret".

I want to create a community that matters. VegHaven.org is the start of big vision.

By particpating here and having fun; by inviting your friends to join us here you're helping fund great activities that are creating a more compassionaet world. [Learn More]

So when I see you invited a friend here or when I see you conributed to the community by posting you experiance or questions I'm appreciating you for helping contribute to the creation of a non profit that will be like none other!

Namaste,
Chris Tinney

The Hell of Today, and the Inactivity Tomorrow Suffers From

I happen to believe in psychics, but not being a channeler nor wanting to do so, I do not delve into the mystic. And, I fight oppression because I, simply, am a stronger man, who knows that the world is frightened and unable to move beyond what they are told because they are imprisoned by their own inaction(s). All activists are enabling other great works. It is not mysticism, psychic ability and that lot that will change the world, but, I must admit that Eastern thought certainly cuts to the… Continue

Oneness.

I was meditating yesterday when it came to me why we are here. We are here to create and experience the love and beauty that we are. All of us. I believe in Oneness. I believe in Unity. That is probably the number 1 reason I became vegan. I love animals because they are my brothers and sisters just as you are my brothers and sisters. We share this beautiful planet with them, they are our equals, and I knew I couldn't completely embrace that love and equality if I was still participating… Continue
