Going Vegan 4 Goodness contains over 300 full color photos. Some are intended to spark intuitive feelings within your mind and heart, and don't worry, you won't see anything gory! Mark Suarkeo's hope is that you will accept the challenge of expanding your perspectives while observing your acquired beliefs, underlying values, and everyday actions related to your daily food choices.

Suarkeo is also a Clinical Prosthetist and Orthotist with over a decade of treating patients with musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, and traumatic disorders at UCLA Medical Center followed by years of volunteer work in his father's home country of Thailand. After discovering that a whole food, plant-based diet can prevent and potentially reverse type 2 diabetes, Suarkeo saw that there was a better way to avoid certain chronic lifestyle diseases. He also saw how people with type 2 diabetes can avoid lower extremity amputations - a common condition he treated many patients with.

While researching the healing effects of plant based foods, he also started to naturally gravitate towards environmentalism, mindfulness practice, and polyculture farming. Eventually, he began to make the connection of how our daily food choices can make a lasting impact. His personal experiences has raised his own awareness on how animals are treated horribly within the animal agriculture industry and it ultimately has shifted his perspective towards veganism.

Suarkeo's personal "vegan why" was first inspired by wanting to help his mom (who has type 2 diabetes) and maybe yours too, to live a healthier, happier, higher quality of life.

There's never been a more critical time and place to be Going Vegan 4
Goodness.
