Hey everyone,
I was having a discussion with my parents on why people become vegans. My mom says its only because of the love for animals. She believes this because knows THREE vegans who say they've become vegan for the love of animals only. Me, having to go against the grain, i say that that's wrong because in my opinion personal health is the biggest benifit from being vegan. I mean of course once i read and watched things on the slaughter houses that made me feel for the animals so that was one of the reasons but PERSONAL HEALTH is #1 for me... HOW ABOUT YOU??
Just let me know what is your number one reason for becoming vegan... no arguements or judgements =]
thank you

I became vegan simply because I was tired of picking up products that said things like no rHB added, or no antibiotics added. I thought what is rHB and why should I care if it is or isn't added. I still don't know what it is, but that is why I became vegan. It seems silly now, but I'll never forget picking up the ice cream container and reading that. I put it down and have not had regular ice cream since.
luxdivon,
i love to hear about stories of people being cured just by eating health i gives me motivation and a reason for why i have this raw vegan goal =]
I WATCHED EARTHLINGS!!!! OMG THAT WAS HORRIFING STUFF. I TOO CRIED THROUGH OUT THE WHOLE THING. I WAS DISGUSTED WITH MAN KIND AND FEEL PAIN FOR THE ANIMALS WE MAKE SUFFER EVERY DAY. NOW I SEE WHY PEOPLE WOULD BECOME VEGAN JUST FOR THE ANIMALS. =] MY DAD ISNT GANNA EAT CHICKEN ANY MORE (my mom and sister refuse to watch the movie) just taking small steps to my goal =D thank you
I have been a vegetarian for most of my life, originally for moral reasons, but moral and health reasons aside eating meat to me now seems like a really odd thing to do. Perhaps it's because I've never really done it but I can't ever imagine having the desire to put a bit of another animal inside my mouth, chew it up and swallow it. Only recently have I begun to feel the same way about milk and eggs but yes these too have started to seem very unappealing to me.
