Almost 7 years ago, I decided to become vegan. In doing so, I declared to stop eating animal products for good. For most of my life, I thought that we had to eat animals based foods to be healthy and strong. This thinking fuelled the way I looked at food, driving me to eat more […]
As I approach my 7th year of being vegan in August, I take this moment to reflect back on a time when I wasn’t. At the time, I would eat anything and everything without a second thought. It didn’t matter what I ate, as long as it was tasty, and somewhat healthy. I think this […]
There are certain questions that people ask me that don’t seem to go away as the years go by. I’ve been vegan for almost 7 years now, and I find it interesting when I hear a question like “do you find being vegan hard” or “are you ever going to eat meat again?”. I’ve mentioned […]

In the 1960s, half of then’s global population lived urbanely. Thanks to better standards of living and higher wages, it makes sense why many have decided […]
How long have you been vegan? is a question that brings out mixed feelings inside of me. On the one hand, I feel proud of being vegan for as long as I have been. On the other hand however, this question makes me wonder whether or not I’ve done enough for the animals. Maybe this […]

The concept of veganism doesn’t associate itself with direct cruelty and suffering to living beings. Moreover, it accentuates the relationship between humans and animals alike.
