Gail Davis has been a practicing
vegetarian for more than a decade, and she speaks to diverse audiences
about the benefits of eating vegetarian. As a speaker at national
conferences such as the American Vegan Society, she has taught thousands
of people how to kick the meat and dairy habit by choosing plant-based
foods.
She has interviewed and written about many prominent
physicians, scientists, and nutritional experts, and their views
on the relationship between our food choices and their impact on
human health. Davis teamed up with New Jersey physician Robert Baker,
and successfully fought for the passage of legislation concerning
the prevention of breast cancer. The bill requires doctors in New
Jersey to supply patients with a pamphlet describing the connection
between diet and breast cancer.
Davis lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico with her
feline companion, Indiana Jones, and canine companion, Cicely Alaska,
both confirmed vegetarians. Davis is also the author of The
