My vegan journey started 30 years ago, when I was only nine. Seaside beach, Oregon, my sister bet me $100 I couldn’t be vegetarian for a year. After eating half a crab I quit meat, and not only for a year, 30 years and still going. (She said after 6 months that she wasn’t going to pay me, because she could see how dedicated I was) (WTF?)
Anyway, I made the dairy and eggs cruelty connection ten years later. I read Diet for a new American and it blew my mind. I seriously had no idea what the Dairy and egg industry did to the animals. I was so ignorant and blind. At 39 years of age, I wish everyone could make the connection. Almost twenty years vegan and I can honestly say they are the happiest. I just recently made the connection to plant based and now I am healthier because of it. I am fit and have never felt better. Go vegan. For the animals, the planet and health.
