I've been vegan for nearly 5 years now, and I love it. Every one always talks about how difficult it must be, but it's fucking easy. You just gotta pick up some new recipes, etc, and you're fine. I used to be a huge carnivore, used to hunt, fish etc, but one day when I moved to the city, I was talking with a friend, and I suddenly the entire senseless-ness of eating meat seemed to become obvious. I mean, in a small town, you can hide it from yourself a little easier, and say 'well, I could go hunting, get a moose, and eat for cheap all winter, and my family would have a few extra bucks in their pockets', but in the city, Everything is so damn available, that it's no longer is about surviving, not even financially, and I had to ask myself why I chose to keep eating meat. I couldn't give myself a straight answer, so I decided that I'd be vegan, and over night, donated what non-vegan food i had, and that was that. So until someone give me solid non-disputable proof that a) Animals don't feel b)Animals are not conscious and c) Are less worthy of the life they live; I'll keep affording them the same decency I afford my fellow man. I guess I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.
