Wow! Great, and detailed article. Thank you.
I've recently committed (in my mind, at least) to become vegan, but haven't actually made the leap yet.
I decided to research and prepare myself first, not so much for reasons to become vegan (already decided), but how best to go about it. I'm in my 40's (lifetime of meat eating habits to overcome) and have a wife, who'll never become vegan, and a five-year-old daughter, who I don't want to force anything on.
So, I'm finding best practices which will work for me, in my living environment - because I'm assuming this will be a hard switch to make when my family are continuing to eat meat.
Anyway - great information, all supporting my decision to become vegan (not plant-based)!!
Hey Minimalish, that is really great to hear. It doesn't have to be a big thing. The more we make of it in our minds the harder it is to overcome. I went vegan at 36, I was a big time corpse muncher too. believe me when I say that. My whole family is Vegan, wife and 3 kids. As a child every decision is forced on you so I wouldn't get too caught up on that side of things. We just explained where meat, eggs, dairy etc comes from and offered a different choice. The kids haven't looked back since. They are all super healthy, really active and full of energy.
As for the missus, never say never. You just dont know what is around the next corner!
Thanks doe checking the post out too. I will be working on part 2 for the coming weeks. As you will appreciate making sure I correctly reference my sources is key in a post like this. I prefer to stick to facts rather than emotion in this discussion. Although all I want to do is destroy the machine that is animal ag.
