The bold and courageous Janez Drnovsek, former president of Slovenia died this Saturday. He was a firm supporter of veganism and champion of animal rights, human rights and the environment, making him pretty cool in our books. He went vegetarian then vegan after an attack of cancer, and credits his new lease of life and bundles of energy following the ill health to a switch to the healthier (and more compassionate) lifestyle.
