Creativity Quote by Grace Slick

"It takes a little work to be a vegan, but now it's really possible to have tasty stuff and it's better for you. I say the best test is go as far as you can and see how you feel. Personally, I feel great"

About this Quote

Grace Slick sells veganism the way a veteran rock singer sells a new sound: not as a purity pledge, but as a workable lifestyle tweak that rewards you fast. The first move is disarming. "It takes a little work" concedes the stereotype of veganism as inconvenient and joyless, then immediately flips it with "now it's really possible to have tasty stuff". That "now" matters: it nods to the cultural shift from fringe health-food shops to mainstream abundance, where oat milk and plant-based burgers have turned ideology into a consumer choice you can grab at a regular grocery store.

She keeps the pitch stubbornly unpreachy. "Better for you" is a soft claim, not a manifesto; the real persuasion comes from the experiment frame: "go as far as you can and see how you feel". It's the language of self-optimization and touring-musician pragmatism, not moral indictment. The subtext is a refusal to fight the endless food wars online; instead of debating ethics or environmental statistics, she relocates authority to the body. Try it, measure it, keep what works.

"Personally, I feel great" is doing two things at once. It's humble (just one data point) and aspirational (a rock icon reporting unexpected vitality). Coming from someone whose era is synonymous with excess, the testimonial carries an implicit redemption arc: you can still chase pleasure, just with different ingredients. Veganism here isn't a badge. It's a tool for feeling good without surrendering taste or identity.
