Vegan for the animals! Was vegetarian until 2006 when I attended a 'Viva' food event in London, UK, where I learned the truth about the meat, poultry and dairy industries. I became vegan from that day - it was the easiest and most natural thing in the world to do once I knew. I remain forever shocked and horrified, in fact, traumatised, by the cruelty we human beings inflict on our fellow beings. I was glad to find Clare Mann's book 'Vistopia' - really helped a lot.
