Becoming Vegan
Meatless Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday! People become vegan for their own very personal reasons. At this time, I admit that I am not vegan, but when I see videos or articles such as the one below I wonder why not. This video discusses five good reasons to go vegan. I think it comes down to three:
* Compassion for living beings – as humans we have the opportunity and the choice to not eat or wear other animals.
* Compassion for the environment – farms that produce animals have a higher environmental impact than farms with plants.
* Compassion for our own bodies – more and more science is proving that a plant based diet is beneficial for health and longevity.
Far be it for me to tell you what you should do – we have to decide for ourselves and I certainly will not judge, but for these reasons I’m eating less meat, dairy, eggs and any other animal based products.
