Now I’m a vegan!

Two weeks ago, I built up the courage to try something new.  I decided to follow my heart and do something against the grain, swim up stream.  I chose to be a vegan.

Let’s start before 2 weeks ago.  I love meat.  I would buy the meatiest pizza’s just because they had the most meat.  I would buy 3 burgers when I went to take aways, and I would want to eat more after I had left.  What I’m trying to say is, I love meat.  I would cook steaks at home, I would critique the steaks cooked at restaurants.  So now we are clear, I love meat.

So why am I now vegan if I love meat so much?  Well that’s a complex emotional question.  There are many reasons I have decided to change.  I will give a full run down in later posts but the gist is this:

Animal Cruelty
Sustainability
Environmental
Health
Happiness

There are a lot of misconceptions in the animal consumption industry that mislead people into continuing to eat meat.  I have made a decision to change my way of life for something I believe in.  The next step is to try and educate others on what I am doing and why I am doing it.  If people hadn’t given the time to debate me when I said ‘being a vegetarian or vegan was a silly idea’, well, I wouldn’t be here writing to you.

So if you are undecided, or you just want to learn about lifestyle choices, check back here and get updates from myself, Amiria or Tim.  They will introduce themselves and you can read about them here too!
