Why Vegan? Whether your currently vegan or not, we've all heard the countless variations of answers to this question. Some do it for the animals, while others do it for the environment or their health. Regardless on why individuals go vegan, the most important fact is that going vegan SAVES lives... pure and simple.
Veganism is not a diet, but a lifestyle. Animal Liberation is not a fad, but a fight.
Deciding to take a vegan lifestyle is a choice that will benefit your health, the environment and most of all... reduce the suffering of all animal beings. Becoming vegan doesn't just end with your diet, but includes buying from companies that do not use or endorse animal testing or animal cruelty. Information and research is the key!
How do you begin? Simple! If you ask most of us here... we all started out first by going vegetarian, experimenting with meat and cheese substitutes; then slowly made the transition to vegan diet.
Vegan items are readily available in your local natural markets and online vegan stores as well.
