Why Did You Go Vegan?

Felisha

Well, I too was one of those people who was raised on meat products daily. When I was in high school my friend had this grossed out piece of meat that made me so sick and two weeks later I got food poisoning from a piece of meat. So I old my mother that I was going to become a vegetarian, but she was telling me that I need the protein for meat in order the heal the injuries I got from playing basketball. But I went on this personal quest for the next 2 years to find out if there was a way. Well when I was 18 I moved out of my house and found out that I could. So I became vegetarian and it turned out that my roommate was also vegetarian. She was awesome.

Well I met my boyfriend online and he is the greatest person in the whole world. He was also vegetarian. We now live together after 3 1/2 years and a few $300 phone bills. We were both vegetarians, but still ate chicken, fish, and dairy products until one day we were both freaked out because we care about all animals. And basically we were still eating the flesh of live creatures so we stop eating meat products "cold turkey". And then we just completely stopped eating eggs. We were already not eating dairy products because we found out about the antibiotics it has it and other things. But we just became vegan almost 6 months ago and it's never felt better. It's just really frustrating now to live in such a meat-infested world. It's in everything even things you don't expect so be careful.
