Are you concerned about your health or morality in regards to how we treat animals, or the health of the planet? Those are all good reasons to think more about your diet! If you have any questions feel free to ask, I know a lot about the subject.
PS.. Reading labels is just important in general, they put so many nasty chemicals in a lot of this stuff, but there's certain chemicals that are way worse that I avoid products that have them, and did even before I was vegan..
You should be careful, you only get one body!
Animal cruilty has been gaining a lot of traction recently and I have become conscious of it. I have tried multiple attempts of going vegetarian for a few weeks but my family is filled with carnivores so by default I eat whatever is readily available on the dinner table.
To be honest I haven't looked into going vegan - I don't know much of the health benefits associated with it either. I did see the debate post you shared earlier so I'm hoping to listen to that on my way to work sometime this week. Will get back to you if that's inspired some change in my diet!
