I'm new...vegan for almost 7 months

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone, I'm new to this group. I have been a vegan for about

seven months now and I love it. I feel so much better about myself

and I don't have to feel guilty about eating animals or contributing

to their sufferings anymore. I've always been an animal lover but I

always felt like a hypocrite because I wasn't vegetarian or vegan. I

became vegetarian about 8 months ago and when I began reading about

my favorite actor, River Phoenix, I found out that he was vegan and I

was intrigued. I then began looking up information about the vegan

lifestyle and decided that it was exactly what I needed to be a

happier and healthier person. I do feel kind of stupid thought when

people ask me why I became vegan and I start off by saying, " Well, my

favorite actor River Phoenix..... " etc. I mean, he's not the reason

I am vegan, but I began learning about it because I was reading about

him. Anyway, I'm writing a fifteen page research paper for my

effective writing class about the vegan lifestyle. So if anyone

knows of any good books or websites beside the ones that are on the

links page, it would be really great if you would reply and let me

know.
