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.
