Future Vegan?

So veganism and vegetarianism is slowly starting to have a bigger impact on planet Earth and more people are willing to try it. Knowing where food comes from is an area that alot of people try to ignore but we need to be more aware of what we are putting into our mouth because it is seriously becoming an epidemic. Children are becoming obese and a majority of our diets are filled with processed food that has had the nutrition sucked out of them and had artificial ones put back in. I was inspired by Oprah's episode yesterday. I rarely ever watch her show but I have always had an interest in trying to become at least vegetarian, so when she had a week long vegan challenge for her co-workers I decided to also try it. I will be starting tomorrow, April 8th. I've always loved animals and I never really thought about how the animals become food on our plate. I'm doing this to partly see if I will ever be capable of being a vegetarian and also to have self awareness of how much meat and processed food I actually eat. This may be one of the toughest weeks of my life considering I love chocolate. Hopefully this will be a some-what eye opening experience and I'll enjoy it in the end.

  1. So interesting! I'm glad you filled us in on your inspiration. I was wondering what prompted this post. Now the big question...How is it going?
