I went to food as medicine in VABCH.

I have been a proud vegetarian for 20+ years now and vegan for the past few years.

I went vegan after meeting a woman at a wedding that was being catered by a BBQ place. She wasn't eating anything so I inquired why. Over the next couple hours, she introduced me to veganism and I went vegetarian the next day. Over the following month, I researched, purchased cookbooks and generally became informed. That was 4 years ago and it was the best decision I've ever made.

Age 16-67 I rotated between vegetarian to pescatarian ...at age 68 I went vegan excluding throwing out all my leather goods since my fixed income does not afford me the ability to repurchase other items

Watched What The Health and became vegan for better health, prevent animal abuse and for a better environment.

Originally became vegan for better athletic performance but realized complete benefits: longevity, enviornmentalism, ethics, et.c

I was vegetarian for 10 years after reading Diet for a Small Planet. Then I read John Robbins' book Diet for a New America and became vegan. I never looked back. In 2002, I cofounded the parent organization for the Alaska Vegan Society.

Every winter I traveled to Venezuela for 5 months I was getting healthier. Coming back to Canadian DIET, I was getting sick,

A life long vegetarian who saw the truth and switched overnight.

I would love to. Don't have time now.

Animals rule

I'd been vegetarian since 1999, but when I realized that the dairy and egg industries are just as cruel (perhaps even more cruel) as the meat industry I went vegan. I've been involved in animal rights and climate activism since the end of 2018 and urge every vegan to become an activist making activists too!
