What Is Vegan
When I started this vegan thing, I wasn't really sure what I was getting into. I did my research and read the magazines and books and just found it to be healthier. I was never in it for the activism. I just wanted to be better than the generation before me. As time went on, I educated myself and learned. What originally started as something I did for myself and my health turned into something greater. I fell in love with animals in a way I never thought I could. It felt like my body had done a complete 180. What I did not prepare for was the backlash, the questions, and the harassing comments from others.

From Graveyard to Sanctuary
I don't know if my story is all that much different from others that have gone vegan. Well, that's not fully true. I initially tired it to impress a girl. Yes, I tried to stop eating meat to impress a girl. Now, I know that's not the best reason to do anything in life, but like most guys courting a beautiful young lady, I wanted to put my best foot forward to stimulate her interest in me. I met her online and one of the first things I found out was that she identified as vegan. At the time, I had a basic understanding of what being vegan meant. They don't consume any animal products, they love animals, blah blah blah. I even looked up the definition of the word which said: a vegetarian who omits all animal products from their diet and a person who does not use any animal products such as leather and wool. Okay, that's good, but I'm the type of person who "goes hard or goes home" and since I really wanted an opportunity to date this girl I dove deep into the world of veganism and got a lot more then I bargained for.

Why Am I Vegan? More Importantly, Why Are You Not?
I often get asked why I am vegan and I usually struggle to articulate a response. Not because I don’t know my own reasons, but I fear that no matter what I say, the person asking already has made up their mind that I’m a raving loony. And I am, really. But not for this reason — that’s another blog post entirely.

Reasons to Go Vegan
There's a lot! 1.) You can lower your risk for heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes! Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn organized a five-year long study among patients with extreme coronary artery heart disease. He fed his 21 men and one women a low fat vegan diet and he found extreme results. One person's artery damage had regressed by more than 30 percent. Not only can a vegan diet prevent this issue that plagues most families in America, but it can also be reversed.

Vegan Peruvian Lomo Saltado Recipe
When I first became vegan, I worried that I might have to give up some of my favorite dishes from my culture. In my eyes, Peruvian cuisine is some of the best food around. While most staple dishes consist of meat, I soon realized it isn't hard to find substitutes or workarounds that allow vegans to enjoy the same delicious meals, without the harm.

Three Awesome Reasons to Go Vegan
I have been vegan now for a year and it’s been one of the toughest journeys I have undertaken in my life. I essentially thought it would be a breeze to cut out the meat but it proved to be tougher than what I initially thought. I often found myself craving meat, overeating, and coping with junk food versus actually sticking to my goal of successfully transitioning into veganism full-time.
