I'm a Vegan. I do not believe in harming animals just for the sake of a meal. Veganism is not a fad or a trend but, quoting M Butterflies Katz, "Veganism: A Truth Whose Time Has Come". Veganism is about being awake, aware and simply, mindfulness. Awakened to the truth, coming to terms with ourselves, accepting the truth with understanding and no longer wishing to participate directly or indirectly where our actions would cause harm to the death of billions and billions of animals every day.

Eversince becoming Vegan, I'm learning to embrace the joy of experimenting cooking Vegan recipes, mostly derived from foods that we used to eat as meat eaters do before becoming Vegan and just making little changes, turning them into vegan meatless healthier versions. Basically simple ingredients, fuss free and winging it around the kitchen. Afterall, being Vegan is joyous and fun!

I also want to add that I am aware that being Vegan is not all just about food alone. It is a lifestyle, but hey, we spend at least 3 meals each day everyday eating, so we might as well acknowledge that it is actually quite significant. It is also one of the things we can do to participate with loved ones, family, friends, animal companions and share a meal with other non-vegans together.
 

I don't think Veganism is about trying to be perfect or to arrive at but rather about constantly being mindful of our actions and how our actions affects all sentient living beings, people and our planet. It's a constant journey. Here to share and learn from one another.

Ahimsa! :)
