…surely this is an obvious one right?
I saw this prompt and it just made me giggle since my entire blog is about how I don’t eat meat. But then I couldn’t remember if I ever explained why I stopped eating meat in the first place. At the time of writing, I stopped eating meat roughly 16 years ago, and I made the change because I didn’t want to continue eating animals. I have always loved animals – it is easily the core pillar of my entire personality – and I wanted my lifestyle and my choices to fully reflect that aspect of myself. I didn’t see how I could still claim to be an animal lover if I was willing to eat some of them. For me, it just didn’t make sense.
I went vegetarian when I was 16, and then transitioned to fully vegan when I was about 24. I know it is repeated a lot in the vegan circles but my only regret with going vegan is that I didn’t do it sooner. I think in 2016, the vegan movement was a fraction of what it is now, and I think that was a big challenge for me at the time which probably contributed to my hesitation to making the vegan leap earlier. But in today’s day and age, I think it is easier than ever to follow a vegan lifestyle and I hope that my little blog helps to highlight just how many options there are out there for people who are new to the lifestyle.
