Are you vegan?
Yes.
Why?
Because there are more reasons to be vegan, than to not be vegan. Environment, health, animals, and spirituality. ..but the most compelling reason for me was the environment. "I like the way it tastes" and "it's easy/traditional" aren't reasons to eat meat, unless you're on the low end of the bell curve.
Veganism is the future. Well, mostly. Vegetarianism and veganism will be normal in Western society within 100 years. Consumption of meat will be viewed as barbarically as discrimination, slavery, and other past times people once considered "normal."
Einstein said vegetarianism was the future. Martin Luther King was vegetarian. Kings son is a vegan activist. This is humanity's next step forward.
. Name three of your favourite vegan eats.
Woodfired marinara pizza with Daiya, fresh basil, kalamata olives, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes from my favorite local pizza place
A smoked tofurky sandwich on vegan potato bread with fresh raw torn kale, Just Mayo, and a drizzle of Sriracha
Jackfruit "tuna" melts
What is the most difficult part of being vegan?
Mostly that people are stupid. There's a lot of misinformation out there, a lot of people are profoundly ignorant, and it's always bothered me, but when it comes to veganism, and the environment, I sometimes feel like I'm talking to semi literate 19th century slave owners.
Also Freelee the Banana Girl, omg, can someone shut her up? She is to veganism, what Donald Trump is to the Republican party.
What is the most rewarding thing about being vegan?
Everything.
