GregX999 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Hello, I'm a new vegan (about 3 weeks now and going strong). Before that I was an off-and-on vegetarian for a couple years. I've been a bit squeamish about eating meat for as long as I can remember due to the fact that you have to kill and butcher another living being to get it - but eating it was just always "expected" - it was just always easier to push the squeamishness aside. I decided it was time to go 100% vegan after learning more about the cruelty and environmental impacts of factory farming. I think finding sites like this one and veganfitness.com allowed me to finally feel "okay" about switching since I'm very into nutrition and it took a lot of reading and research to get over the propaganda about vegan diets being unhealthy. I'm currently going through a ton of changes in my life (career, where I live, general goals/values) and it's great to be able to connect with other people who can help, or even just chat about things. So anyway, just wanted to say "Hi!" after lurking for about a month now. Later!Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
