Hey Man I hear you.
I worked at a chicken factory in Okla.
I did cleaning up and used chemicals and bleachy stuff.
I can still smell all that when I walk past the (yuk) dept.
Have been vegan, fruitarian, vegitarian in some kind of cycle for 21 years.
I wish I knew better when I was young. I could have ran faster and focused better in my life. but we are here now and doing great.
That is great that you have been vegan/fruitarian/vegetarian for so many years. I have only been vegan a very short time by comparison. I also wish I had known what I know now and made the change a very long time ago. We cannot change the past but we can certainly make the future better.
