The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

I actually became a vegetarian because when I moved into my wife's apartment all those years ago it felt weird cooking meat because thinking about animals made her cry and she was a vegetarian for 20 years. Once we learned about veganism and what really happens in the dairy and egg industries we felt silly for being vegetarian for so long and went vegan together. We have a vegan family now.

Sometimes I guess it just takes time to make your own vegan family instead of convincing others lol
