RE: [100% veg*n ] New to Group / My Introduction

[Guest guest]

Nice! I would like to share my vegan story too. I have been vegetarian since age

12 because

I had a huge gut, felt lazy and depressed, when I went vegetarian my gut

dissapeared, I got more

energy and felt healthy again, then I went vegan in college and felt even better

and felt like

I reached " the next level " but until I went raw organic vegan WOW that is the

ultimate, I weight

lift and not only do I have MORE MUSCLES but I don't get sore, I heal faster, my

Yoga is much

improved but also like Jojo the Planet is on the edge with Global Warming I live

in Los Angeles

where everyone has to drive a extra cab SUV with one person in it and so I feel

and breathe the

pollution more than others in other parts of the country or world. I am very

into Eco Cars as the

solution with BMW's hydrogen fuel cell car coming out soon and Tesla with their

100% electric

cars, there are others as well and I hope they can solve the problem. Meanwhile

if you drive

between Los Angeles and San Francisco there is Interstate 5, there is a HUGE

Ranch/Farm with

Cows there and for like 1/2 hour or at least 5 miles before and after you reach

the Ranch/Farm there

is this SUPER AWFUL FOWL stench of death/decay but manure that is so

overwhelming you want to

vomit. And yet some where on the property there is a farmer/rancher happily

living in the middle

of death/decay/manure and just slaughtering and killing not only people's health

but that of the planet

our ozone, our atmosphere and these " fumes " are destroying EVERYTHING but not

only that but for

other animals that have a right to live like the Polar Bears, the Bees, and so

many other creatures

just so we can have Leather, $.99 Burgers, McDonalds, and they use every part of

the cow in things

that you do not even know about they use the bones, hair, hooves, fat, in paper,

tires, toothpaste,

pencils, ink, all sorts of products and they do not list COW in them, this came

to light during the MAD

COW DISEASE scare when it was known that MAD COW disease cannot be destroyed so

easily so many

journalists reported what products have DEAD COW IN THEM without having to list

it and the list is

VERY LONG. Fact is it is a $50 Billion a year industry, that is 50 Thousand

Million! And they use $200 Million

or more as in " SUPER SIZE ME " Movie to advertise, get people hooked on DEAD

ROTTING COW CARCASSES, Death,

Pollution, Destruction of the EVERYONE's HEALTH, THE WORLD, EVERY LIVING BEING

AND ANIMAL on Earth again

so we can have leather, $.99 burgers, McDonalds, etc. ALL FOR PROFIT AND GREED

it is very sad, people

are what they eat so they are like animals being lead to slaughter with cancer,

heart attacks, etc. Of

course WE ALL KNOW THIS and I am just preaching to the choire while someone is

Happily eating a BIC MAC

at this very moment. But just wanted to thank you and everyone for BEING AWARE,

HEALTHY, HAPPY, VEGETARIAN

AND VEGAN you are SAVING YOUR HEALTH, COMMUNITY, EVERY BEING/ANIMAL and the

PLANET! For this reason

I came up with my new company RAW ORGANIC SAVING THE PLANET, LLC all of my

products are guaranteed 100% VEGAN

ORGANIC and only good for your health, community, environment and WORLD ONLY. IN

fact each product that

people buy I plant a new TREE as I partnered up with Trees for the Future. I

want to make being vegan all natural

raw organic a fun fashionable delicious lifestyle and with my products you

actually save MONEY like with my new

ceramic knives it keeps your food pure, fresher longer people love it so please

Hello to All ~I just recently joined this group, and since I am eager to get

started as an active member, I thought that I had better post " my story. " :-)I

am brand new to being Vegan, and am still " transitioning over " from the S.A.D. I

have totally given up eating meat in any form, and I am " working on " letting go

of dairy products. Also, I will not be buying any more clothing and/or shoes

that are made by using animals. I will use what I have until I need to replace,

then I will replace with only Vegan. I am a 52-year old happily-married mother

of 2 and a grandma to 4. As countless others, I was raised on the S.A.D. - and

even so - I had always been intrigued with Vegetarians, and when I learned about

being Vegan, I thought, " Wow, I wonder if I could adopt that lifestyle as well? "

I don't think that there is anything about being Vegan that I do not agree with.

There are 3 main reasons why I feel inclined to adopt a Vegan lifestyle:1. My

Health. For all of the obvious and known reasons why not consuming animal

products is much easier on, and healthier for, the human body.2. The Animals.

For the seemingly hopeless, tragic plight of all of the animals that are bred

and raised for human food. The senseless abuse and neglect (sheer horror) that

these animals are forced to endure is something that I am choosing to no longer

be a part of. And this feels good and right to me.3. The Planet. Anyone who has

read up on the subject knows that factory farming and all that it stands for is

ecologically unsound and irresponsible for a myriad of reasons.So, by becoming

Vegan, I feel that I am doing my part-no matter how small of a part. The thing

is, we have to start somewhere; thus I begin my journey into Veganism, and all

that it stands for. So - Health and Ethics - I reckon these are my reasons for

turning away from the S.A.D. - enough is enough!By joining this group, I am

hoping to learn more and more, and meet up with others whom I can relate to and

connect with. There is so very much that I need to learn, especially WHAT and

HOW to prepare tasty Vegan meals - meals that even my S.A.D. hubby will eat.

:-)I have no real support for my Vegan choice in my offline world, and so I turn

to the internet for alot of my learning and to find peers. And hopefully one day

I will know enough to be able to help and support others as well.Thanks for

having me. :-)Best Regards from Joanie in Northern Indiana
