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.

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 Complete Guide to Vegetarian Convenience Foods. (NewSage Press 1999). Davis can be reached by email at vegiegail@aol.com
