Guest guest Posted May 21, 2002 Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 1/ What is your name (or what do you like to be called)? Lilly 2/ How old are you (a rough idea will do)? 21 3/ Do you know many vegans in real life? Not one, sadly. 4/ How long have you been a vegan, and how long vegetarian before that? Vegan: 1 year, vegetarian: 1/2 year (intention to become vegetarian for years) 5/ Why did you become vegetarian/vegan (if you are neither it would be useful to explain why you joined this list)? The thought of killing something to eat has been worrying me for a long time, and the more I saw how animals are kept and learned about them, the more I thought it was wrong. For example, that the pigs that tended to kill each other on my grandfathers farm were not just stupid cruel animals, but highly intelligent creatures. Well, when I met a vegan shortly it struck me that this was more consequent than vegetarian - after all, what to do with mal calves for example? As soon as I finally found the courage to become vegetarian I had a look on the Internet and soon became convinced that vegan is only half the way. === Questions about your area === 6/ Whereabouts do you live? In the moment in Zurich (Switzerland), but I plan to go to Sheffield in September for 10 month in an study exchange program. That's why I joined this list, to be a bit prepared even though I am in England quite often to visit my English boyfriend. 7/ How good a place is it for vegans? It is getting better and better, even though eating out is a problem and I never met a vegan here. === Questions for fun === 8/ Which is your favourite type of bean? Garbanzo and Kidney 9/ What is your favourite country, or region, to visit? Coventry, becasue my boyfriend lives there. 10/ What types of film do you like? Japanese animation!!!! 11/ What was the last meal you ate? Curry burgers, pasta sauce, salad, red pepper (also known as throwing together left-overs) 12/ Are you a morning, evening or night person? Evening. === Questions for dull administrative purposes === 13/ How did you find out about this list? Typed in " Vegan " at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
