Why Did You Go Vegan?

Cathy

I came from a completely meat eating family, all around. Even as a young girl I used to refuse to eat meat of any kind, and was told I needed to clean my plate. Well, that soon was fought with so much opposition as I got older, that my family gave up. I declared myself a vegetarian at 14, even though I believe I probably was since birth. Time went on, and I realized that the treatment of milk cows, and hens and chickens were so awful.......that with time I decided being a vegan was the way for me to go. I started off with soy milk, and eventually I have cut all dairy out of my diet. No refined sugar, margarine, or anything animal related in my diet. It has been a big, but meaningful change in my life. My husband is still a meat eater, but has stopped drinking milk. He now drinks soy milk with me! My family doesn't understand, but with time, hopefully they can respect it.
