Why I Chose the Vegan Lifestyle: A Health Reform Journey Inspired by Ellen G. White
My Journey to Veganism
I became vegan on January 15, 1998—not as a trend, but as a spiritual and health-conscious choice. My journey was deeply influenced by the writings of Ellen G. White, especially her guidance on health reform and diet. Through her inspired counsel, I came to understand that food is not just fuel, but medicine—and a sacred responsibility.
The Health Reform Message
Ellen G. White clearly warned of the dangers of consuming flesh foods. She stated, “Flesh was never the best food; but its use is now doubly objectionable, since disease in animals is making meat eating a dangerous matter.” (Counsels on Diet and Foods, p. 386)
Her message resonated with me profoundly. It wasn’t just about physical health—it was about moral responsibility, compassion, and aligning my life with principles of divine truth.
How Things Have Changed
- Health: I experienced higher energy levels, fewer illnesses, and better recovery after physical exertion.
- Clarity: Mental focus improved. I could think clearer and sleep better.
- Spiritual Life: Eating a plant-based diet helped me feel more in harmony with nature and with God’s original plan for humanity.
This journey is not about perfection but about conviction. Today, I use my skills in digital marketing, web development, and graphic design to help promote brands and causes that align with this lifestyle—compassionate, ethical, and health-centered.
If you’re considering this lifestyle, I encourage you to explore Ellen G. White’s writings on health, especially Ministry of Healing and Counsels on Diet and Foods. You’ll discover timeless wisdom that speaks not just to the body—but to the soul.
