Going Vegan!

I am going vegan. Starting this Thursday I am starting to introduce gradual changes into my diet that will be vegan substitutes. The reason I am doing this is because I do not agree with factory farming and cruelty to animals. I have always been a meat eater. However, when I was a little girl I was always saving abandoned kittens, baby birds and birds with broken wings. About a year ago, I started becoming more interested in vegetarianism. I stumbled upon veganism and its health benefits a few months ago and it interested me even more. I looked into the vegan cause and I learned about factory farming and it shocked me. No, it disgusted me. For the first time, I realised where my hamburgers and pork chops came from. I hated it.

So, I have always been the compassionate animal lover. Now, I am making the gradual changes towards becoming the compassionate vegan animal lover. Josh will never go vegan. I am OK with that because it is a lifestyle that is difficult to live if your heart is not in it. I accept Josh unconditionaly too. It does not matter to me if he is vegan or not.

Anyway, I am starting with breakfast and lunch. I will be making them vegan. I will be buying almond milk and orange juice fortified with vitamin D. I have soy burgers, soyrizo, beans, tempeh, and veggie slices on the list. That will be enough to last for two weeks. I have put down fresh fruits and vegetables on the list because I need to start eating fresh fruits and vegetables.

That is the plan so far. I will make the change slow and gradual so that I stick with it. I will still have to make Josh lunch and supper because he likes me to do it. So, I will still be cooking with meat. However, for me, my shoes, my clothes and the food I eat will be animal free. For the good of the planet and for the good of all furry creatures. Most of all for my health.
