I went to food as medicine in VABCH.

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!

Began pescetarian 3 years earlier when I realized I loved all animals and it was not like it was a decision but rather an awakening to my love for them and stopped eating land animals that day. A year or so later I notched it down to vegetarian and then finally to vegan. I give the dog in my life full credit for making me aware of how all animals deserve to live their full lives and were not meant to die for us to eat. Also, I must credit a few documentaries that shared the truth...
