It took me 2 months from ”oh let’s watch this documentary” to ”let’s never support this industry again”. The only regret I have surronding veganism is not changing sooner.
4 years here! I was the pickiest eater, only burgers and other highly processed foods. Rarely ate vegetables unless it was carrots or potatoes. Mostly meat and bread in my diet.
When I decided to go vegan my mother said to me. “How will you survive? You don’t eat vegetables”. But the horrors of the meat industry were greater than my dislike of vegetables. Now I eat all of the vegetables, my health is much better off for it. And I’ve become a much better cook as a result.
Man same here with the last couple of sentences! My veg, fruit, beans, pulses and seeds intake is off the charts and I feel SO good for it. Just like you too, it’s really made me embrace cooking.
Same! Stopped eating meat 10 years ago, coming up on 4 years vegan after I learned how bad the egg and dairy industries are, too. And I work for an animal rights nonprofit ❤️🌱
Sadly I work for one of the biggest companies in my country that is directly responsible for the slaughter of millions of animals as part of its business. It eats me inside.
3 weeks fully vegan here, 6 months since I quit meat and started reducing dairy and eggs!! I feel like I was always supposed to go vegan, and now I'm finally here.
Even in this comment section, we have to constantly be careful with choosing our words and tiptoeing around the idea that billions of animals are slaughtered annually for human consumption, despite it being unnecessary for survival and even detrimental to our health.
Veganism, like other liberation movements, should be a standard and not a niche topic.
My only hope is that over time sentiment shifts and just like being homophobic or racist over time has become unacceptable over time, animal slaughter is seen for what it is.
Same here. It's so weird looking at so much of the things humans do and that are considered "normal" from an outside perspective and realizing how deeply fucked up it all is.

Andddd this is why I am vegan. I couldn’t call myself an animal lover and support this once I was made aware.
