Why am I going vegan?
It began with reading

actually.
This book presented me with the many disgusts of consumerism, and the option of going vegan. And guess what, I could only find arguments that encouraged that option.
*Consumerism of today - It takes away my money. Oh, I love gadgets, electronics, stuff I'll never need. What do I love more? Travelling. Quality. Making informed choices and feeling... good about them.
*Environment - Yes, going vegan - even vegetarian! - would, more or less, save the environment. The meat industry is guilty of more C02 outlets than cars, planes and other industries all together.
*Meat industry - Oh the waste. And meat isn't even that important, I can feel. I eat lots of it, this past month, and it only increases my feeling that
it's unnecessary. Easy, convenient, and easy and, again, convenient. But then, challenging leads to development. The dairy industry contributes enormously to the meat industry, and taking a stand against one is not necessarily taking a stand against both.
*Health and consciousness - I'll have to learn more about what I need, and eat. And I will be forced into healthier habits - better for all, except my vicious enemies.
I quit the meat on Monday.
5 days to go.
I also borrowed the "the big vegetarian cookbook" and "Veganias cookbook" + read leaflets from PETA about nutrition. Strongly recommended.
