So I was thinking this morning it might be a good idea to post why it was that I decided to go Vegan. Two things. A documentary called Earthlings which you can watch as I’ve put it in this post. Saw a clip on Youtube of Ellen Degeneres talking about it being what turned her Vegan so I figured I would watch it.
The 2nd thing that pushed me was a book called “Eating Animals” by Jonathan Safran Foer. He wrote an amazing book on the reasons why we eat what we do, how it gets made and the things that are wrong with the meat/animal-by-products industry. In my opinion, I think everyone who eats meat should read this book. That won’t happen obviously. But it should.

Quote for the day: “If slaughter houses had glass walls, everyone would be vegan”
