So a ribeye steak and butter are better for you than beans? I’m a little confused.
Actually, I’m not confused at all. Follow your instincts and your instincts will tell you, like almost every doctor on the planet, that beans are good.

If you view going vegan as a burden, challenge, chore, and/or an impossibility think about what the billions of animals have to go through.
Pigs, chickens, fish, cows, dogs, cats, etc we all view sentient beings as objects.
Breeding, eating, testing, killing, wearing, etc it's vile.

Why vegan and not plant based?
Today I went to my favorite organic market and they had a list of really interesting looking frozen items.
Plant based ham
Plant based salami
Plant based tuna
Etc
Well, out of the entire freezer shelf, only about ⅓ of the items were vegan. The rest contained eggs...

Things like wool, fur, leather, testing, aquariums, circuses, & zoos are why veganism isn't a diet.
Yes, some of these are a byproduct of the meat industry, but veganism is not just about who we eat.
If you would not want to have it done to you, don't pay someone to do it to them.

Don't consider Veganuary or going vegan, just do it.
In 2020, after watching some documentaries(Earthlings & Dominion among others) I went vegan the day of. I went vegan the morning I finished watching(crying) & have been vegan since.
Don't treat ethics as a challenge, do the right thing.

went vegan 15 years ago after ''meeting'' online with 'Esther the wonder pig' and her dads.
Straight on. Filled a box from my fridge, and gave everything.
The only hard thing was to learn cooking - but there are so many websites helping with first steps for new vegans that it wasn't even that hard.

Animal testing is cruel and unnecessary. If you're considering Veganuary or participating in it, just know that it isn't about 'what' you eat, it's about who you save.

You might adopt a plant based diet for health, climate, and/or whatever other reason.
However, veganism is about the animals.
I didn't adopt a plant based diet because of health or the environment, I went plant based due to veganism, and went vegan because of the animals.
Those are bonuses.

It always saddens me when I think of my 2010s because that entire time I was an alcoholic.
Before work, after work, with co workers, with family, with friends, always drinking.
I'm glad that I quit and realized why I was drinking. To fill the void that trauma and abuse caused. 5 years going on 6.✨
