Last weekend at the AARP Life@50+ Expo, PETA launched PETA Prime—our brand-new Web site full of great resources to help folks live more compassionate, greener, and healthier lives.
Proving that it's never too late to make a healthy lifestyle change, PETA Prime gave out more than 600 free copies of our "Vegetarian Starter Kit" at this year's rockin' convention.
Highlights of the convention include the following:
- Another booth did free cholesterol screenings, and when someone registered high, the booth referred him or her to the PETA Prime booth! Talk about cross-promotion!
- Many grandparents stopped by the booth to let PETA Prime know that they had a son or daughter or grandkids who were veg and wanted recipes to cook for them. Here you go … but while you're at it, why don't you cook up a delicious veg recipe for yourself?
- When PETA Prime asked one baby boomer why she was vegan, she said simply, "common sense"! Ain't it the truth?
PETA Files readers: Have any friends, parents, grandparents, or relatives who are baby boomers? Tell them about PETA Prime! And if you're a boomer yourself, take a looksie and let us know what you think.

THIS IS GREAT ! I KNOW MY MOM ( A BABY BOOMER )IS EATING MORE VEGGIES NOW THAT I BECAME A VEGAN. WHEN THEY WERE GROWING UP KNOW ONE KNEW ABOUT EATING RIGHT. IT 'S NEVER TO LATE TO LEARN.

It saddens me that so many older people are now suffering the health effects of years of meat eating.
But if they could just switch some meat meals into veg meals, they could improve things!
Meat eating is just a bad habit, like cigarette smoking. People can kick the habit at any age

This is wonderful my mother keeps saying she is to old to change her eating habits... But this proves other wise, I will certainly bring her to the new web page, thanks peta for making being kind to animals so much easier.

Great idea for a website. The boomers are a force to be reckoned with in the marketplace, and as such can help sway public opinion, making it easier for everyone to go veg.
