Hello! My name is Latoria, and I’d like to share a bit about my journey to veganism and why I decided to stop eating meat. It’s been a transformative and eye-opening experience, and it’s something I’m incredibly passionate about.
For most of my life, I followed a typical diet that included meat and animal products.
My journey towards veganism started in 2017 and wasn’t an overnight decision-it was a gradual process of learning, reflection, and growth. One of the key factors that inspired me to go vegan was my growing awareness of animal welfare issues. I began to understand the ethical implications of supporting industries that exploit animals for food, clothing, and other purposes. I learned about the conditions in factory farms, the cruelty involved in animal slaughter, and the environmental toll of animal agriculture. The more I learned, the more I felt compelled to make a change.
Another major influence was my health, I started to notice that when I made healthier, plant based choices, I felt more energized and my body seemed to thrive. I realized that a plant based diet can provide all the nutrients I need without the negative side effects associated with consuming animal products. This shift made me feel better physically and mentally.
Going vegan has not only been a positive choice for my health, but it has also brought me a sense of peace and purpose. I feel proud knowing that my actions align with my values, and the every meal I enjoy reflects my commitment to kindness, sustainability, and compassion.
I’m still learning and growing along the way, but I’m excited about the journey and the positive changes I’m making in my life and in the world. If you’re considering making the transition to a plant-based lifestyle, know that it’s not about perfection-it’s about progress. Every step counts.
Thanks for reading, and I hope this encourages you to explore your own path, whether that’s veganism or simply making more mindful choices.
