Hey!

Just thought I'd reply to the questions you sent me!

 

1. My name is Anna Midgley, better known as Spanna.

 

2. I'm 18 years old, soon to be 19 in January.

 

3. I'm sad to say that I only know one vegan, who is very strict about his food, clothing etc. and only two vegetarians who are a bit rubbish. They still have Sunday roast because they'd miss their roast chicken if they didn't.

 

4. I'm not actually a vegan yet, which is kind of why I've signed up to this, because I needed help with it. I have been vegetarian for, what will be 6 years, in January.

 

5. I'm a vegetarian because I believe that it's wrong for any animal to suffer unnecessarily. It is unnecessary because I don't need meat, most people don't need meat, to live and I've come to believe that things such as milk, cheese and other such products are also unnecessary. This sounds really bad but I actually started vegetarianism as a bet that I couldn't last without meat for a week and I just wanted to see how long I could carry it on for. It has become very much an ethical thing for me now and I'd rather chew off my own arm than have to eat meat.

 

6. I live in the South East of England in Kent. Ramsgate, if we're going to be picky.

 

7. The area is absolutely appalling for vegetarian and vegan food. I'm only aware of one vegetarian restaurant and it's called 'The Hippo Cafe' and it still caters for meat-eaters, so as your trying to tuck into your animal friendly meal you can still smell another person's bacon sarnie cooking. As for clothing there's absolutely nothing, mainly lack of information but still partially down to ignorance.

 

8. I don't have a favourite bean. Butter beans are alright but I can't stand lentils, pulses or anything like that. It's probably just down to not being shown how to make them up properly, ignorance basically.

 

9. My favourite place ever is South East Asia, Thailand and Cambodia. They're absolutely mind blowing places.

 

10. My favourite type of film is comedy, anything that makes me laugh my a**e off basically.

 

11. The last meal I ate was Linda McCartney sausages and mash with vegetarian gravy. Yum.

 

12. I'm definitely a night person, I get really groggy if I have to wake up before midday.

 

13. I found out about this site through scouring the net for help on veganism.

 

14. I just need some advice on veganism really. There's alot I need to know before I dive in and fail miserably at it. S.O.S!!!
