I went vegan in 2013 for ethical/animal rights and health reasons, primarily. Then I learned about environmental reasons, and those are valid too. I'm happy to know that this site will help parents to raise vegan children. I wish I had been vegan from conception and all throughout my life!...

Went vegan for health, animals, and the environment

I read Diet For a New American in college and began gradually going vegetarian. In 2005 I started learning about veganism and animal rights activism, but I was more interested in convincing myself there was a humane way to continue to eat eggs and dairy. Finally in 2013 I met...

Changing my lifestyle to Whole Foods plant based. Need guidance.

I"m 63 and one of my daughters became vegetarian at age 7 and then transitioned to veganism when she was about 21. Another daughter became vegetarian in 2016, as did I. I fairly quickly transitioned to veganism. My vegetarian daughter lives with me and is slowly transitioning to veganism, but...

The rejection of veganism entails either absurdity or incoherence.

I ma interested in becoming a vegan. My family is already vegetarian

Vegan for the animals.

Ten years ago, on August 18, 2015, I sat next to my dad, holding his hand, as he took his last breath. He was only 46 years old. He wasn’t a smoker, he didn’t drink, but the kidney medicine he was prescribed caused skin cancer that spread to his lungs....

My reason for going vegan is partly centered around my youngest daughter. She could not Tolerate dairy while I nursed her causing me to go vegan. I feel it’s the best way to live and heal the body which is why I continue to work towards being plant based.

I was raised as a lacto-vegetarian since birth (religious, ahimsa reasons). Being a heavy dairy consumer, I dropped dairy as soon as I watched Cowspiracy and never looked back.

Born pesco-vegetarian in England in 1985. Fish was a rarity and dairy was a staple for a family with very little access to a plethora of seasonal and organic produce. Moving to London at a very early age I was immersed in ethnic diversity and learned many ways to eat...

I started realizing where ‘meat’ came from around in my teens. Went vegetarian on new years eve when I was 15 years old. I started learning more in my early twenties and slowly transitioned to vegan by 27 years old. Once giving up dairy I didn’t get upset stomachs. I...

In 2012 I was involved in volunteer work at animal shelters, which put me in touch with people involved in (Rescue). While online I happened to come across a video of animals being skinned alive for fur. That had a huge impact on me and pushed me to do research...

- For the animals - health improved: better digestion ( no more morning nausea, no more acid reflux, no more constipation, no more stomach ulcers), no more muscle cramps, regular menstrual cycles, lost weight, better skin, more energy when I was raw vegan, no more knee issues, normal zinc (no...

I went vegetarian in a bet about not eating meat for 2 weeks when I was 19. I researched why people would actually go vegetarian and ran across the term vegan. I had never heard of vegan before in my small town, and didn't even personally know any vegetarians. I...

I was getting shortness of breath, pains in my chest, and just very tired. I went to the doctor and they said there was no evidence of anything wrong with my health. I watched some youtube videos by John Mcdougall. I also found out that I was pregnant, so I...

My sister died of colon cancer complications and the more I read and researched the more I realized that vegan diets were superior. She was paleo, mostly chicken, made on a Trager grill! I learned a lot. I quit dairy in 2010 but I quit all animal products in 2019.

I get to be the husband to a wonderful vegan wife (@veganjessica) and dad to two amazing vegan kids. I've been vegan since January, 1998. Otherwise, I daydream about rock climbing and running in the woods while putting IP addresses on routers and plugging network cables into things at UNCC.

I went vegan for the animals in 1994. My then partner was eating dairy, but not eggs and I was eating eggs, but not dairy. I suggested we go vegan together. He is still vegan and still my friend. I have a 16yr old boy who has been a life...
