Reasons to go Vegan

Many people always wonder why does a person need or choose to go vegan. People go vegan because they no longer want to have animals suffering for meat, milk, and other animal products that are not necessary for human survival. Many people are seeing the health benefits of a vegan diet. Some people just want change and it all starts with ourselves. Like I always tell people how can we love someone when we don't know how to love ourselves.

Environment:

People need to know that meat is not "green".

I hope that people will think hard when it comes to having steak or a veggie burger.

Here's a great piece on going green from food to clothing.
