I eat vegan, chinese food, cause I'm a vegan, and I donate my time to either a soup kitchen or homeless shelter. A word of caution about shelters though. If you volunteer at a shelter on Xmas day be prepared for a lot of God bless you's. I find it quite amusing when I tell each person that I'm a Humanist and have to explain. The good thing about this experience is that each person who I meet has a completely different feeling towards Atheists and I know that a few have started to "think" about religion a bit more after chatting with me.
