Hello 🙂 my name is Stella, I live in Germany and run the instagram account @vegan.stories, where I share my food and thoughts about life.
My vegan journey started about a year ago. I was a vegetarian for four years then and always thought that it´s so cruel to kill animals for a short moment of joy in our mouth, but I never thought about those farm animals which are alive.
When I was 15, I developed an allergy against lactose and I started to question my eating habits and educated myself about dairy products. What I found out was mind blowing. Eating meat and dairy does not only effect our health, but also the earth and billions of innocent souls.
I turned vegan overnight and never craved for dairy products since then. But I kept educating myself: I read „The starch solution“ by John McDougall, watched „Forks over knives“ and „Cowspiray“.
Since I´m vegan, my skin is clearer and my immune system is much stronger! I changed mentally, too, because veganism is not only a diet, it´s a lifestyle. I questioned our effects on the earth and try to reduce my ecological footprint every day now.
I learned to love myself, the world around me and mother earth. Love is the most important thing in life. We will never be full without love.
Thank you for sharing all these amzaing stories!
