Why go vegan.
Honestly, before i really understood what being vegan or vegetarian really was, i thought it was....well, dumb and weird. why would anyone deprive themselves from amazing food, what is the point in that? i mean i wasn't  aware of vegan ism when i was a child, i didn't even know it existed i never even thought it was an option, as i got older and started to hear more about it, it was not usually positive things, of coarse the people who practiced it said it was amazing. But everyone else would say it was wrong, it was a bad way of eating, how were those people get protein and nutrients from grass? and i agreed, like most of us who sometimes don't know enough about a subject we join the majority, we follow the crowd when  the crown is rarely right.

as i became more aware of it and began to learn as much as i could about it. it actually made since to me, i mean if eating meat, is so much better then why do we have so much heart disease and obesity in the U.S?

as i kept researching, i came across a story about animal cruelty, how badly the animals what we feed on are treated and that made me really think about what i was consuming.

now i know im not a full vegan yet, and it has been a struggle living with a  carnivorous family, specially when they sometimes share the view of the  crowd.

but i really think that if i try and convert my foods from meat based to a healthier, more animal friendly option it may help me with the transition.
