Isn’t It Hard Being Vegan?
I wasn’t always vegan. I know all of the excuses for not being vegan, because I used most of them myself: “We were designed to eat meat. I need meat, dairy and eggs to get my protein.

Why I Am Vegan
Being peace to bring peace. I have not always been a vegan, even though I had known about the cruelty involved in the factory farming system for 20 years or so.
