The thought of killing animals for food always disturbed me. Even when I was eight years old I wanted to go vegetarian, but I did not have enough information about this lifestyle. I just avoided the fact that animals are being killed and filled my stomach with their corpses. It was not until I moved to the United States that I thought of going cruelty-free. One night I was exploring myspace.com and through a network of links I found a page which featured the “Meet your Meat” video. I could not fall asleep after watching it; I just cried. Next day I decided to become a vegetarian, but it did not last more than a week because I went vegan. If I truly wanted to help animals, then why do it only half way?I have been vegan for a year and eight months and I absolutely love it. I also do not buy anything that is tested on animals. Fortunately, my mother supports me; she even became a pisceterian. My friends and my boyfriend never tried to change me. My other family members either think that I am just “not normal” or worry about my health.
I did not encounter any problems with the transition to a vegan diet and I do not miss meat or other animal by-products; I feel healthier and happier!
