No. I do not. I have been vegan for 18 years. What few leather/non-vegan items I had at that time, I continued to use until I needed to replace them. And then replaced them with non-vegan alternatives.

I am vegan for a variety of reasons. The largest reason is that I cannot consciously support the factory farming industry. I believe it to be cruel and inhumane. And I refuse to support it with my hard-earned dollars.

Hi, I'm also a non-skinny vegan. I like Carb-Conscous Vegetarian by Robin Robertson. It has nutritional information/calorie count. Also, Appetite for Reduction is a low-fat vegan cookbook by Isa Chandra Moschowitz (I don't have it, but have some of her other cookbooks.) Sorry- don't know of any low cal vegan ice creams!
