My super cool older cousin came home from college and dared me not to eat any meat on Thanksgiving day of 1996. I was 9, I took the dare! That night she showed me a VHS tape that she had brought back from college - it was being passed around amongst her friends. It was similar to footage from Earthlings. I never ate another animal again! I didn't learn about the rest until 19 years later, and I continue to learn more every single day. We went vegan in 2015. My son did it the same day, despite me trying to convince him to wait and let me try it first. I'm so thankful he had more sense than me at 5 years old! Now he goes by VeganEvan and speak all over the country! We do activism everywhere we go 🙂
