There are many reasons why I promote a vegan lifestyle.  These are some of them:

1)     Research is showing more and more the superiority of a vegan diet over a meat-eating and even a vegetarian diet in terms of health

2)     It does not support cruelty to animals.  For more information on this topic, click here.  I also strongly encourage you to read this essay which is very well-written and informative.  Once you have read this essay, you will understand the reason I am a dedicated vegan for life.

I personally became vegan for the animals.  When I discovered the cruelty that animals are subjected to before they become meat for human consumption, I became vegetarian.  After learning the facts of what really happens on dairy farms and to the chickens that lay our eggs – I decided to become vegan.  I was petrified initially!  I could not imagine life without eggs and dairy – what about desserts?!  I soon discovered though, that there are wonderful ways to get around preparing delicious meals without any animal products and have never looked back since.  Although I initially only made this change for the sake of the animals, the health benefits have been an incredible bonus.  For more information on the health benefits of a plant-based diet, click here.
