why go vegan?

there are many good reasons that people choose to adopt a vegan diet.

a) for the sake of the planet ie. climate change, sustainability etc
b) for the sake of animal rights or animal welfare
c) for dietary requirements or allergies
d) to lose weight
e) for other ethical reasons, such as food access and security

For me it is a combination of all of the above, but largely motivated by my belief in human rights and the rights of all other living beings. Particularly my cat….

why the blog?

I have decided to start a food blog for several reasons.

a) to document my own journey from veggie to vegan.
b) to share recipes and inspire anyone else thinking of making that difficult jump away from the cheese.
c) to give myself an outlet to vent my concerns and frustrations with the global food system today.
d) to explore whether a vegan diet can be truly be delicious, exciting and satisfying, and share my findings with others.
