So I’ve just finished my vegan chores for next week. There’s a giant, fresh batch of spinach hummus and sliced veggies in the fridge now which ensures healthy eating when I’m a bit peckish from work. So here is a video that I found reassuring that is about other vegans, the animal kingdom, who are frequently targeted as food. I am  happily vegan and find there’s a different kind of understanding about the world and its inhabitants when the flesh of others is not a consideration. It’s an understanding not to mention a healthier way of living. It may not be right for everyone, but I’m happier, healthier, and have a greater perspective and appreciation of the world and those who live in it. Not eating meat removes an, for lack of a better word, aggression from me. It has made me kinder, gentler, healthier, and happier. As a teenager I was mostly vegetarian and enjoyed the way it made me feel. Becoming vegan was a conscious decision of no longer eating meat as well as byproducts of animals. My awareness of what I was eating was too keen. I don’t lack for things to eat. Quite the contrary. I eat more of what is good for me and do not desire things that are not. It has made me a better eater with better digestion and fewer digestion issues. It is a decision that I would make again as it has helped me become the person who I feel most identifiable with and at peace with.
