GOING VEGAN, WHERE DO I START?!
How do I start my journey?
So you may be sitting there thinking about going vegan and wondering “what can i do? and where do i start???” Well let me tell you right now!! there are several ways, if you have a Netflix account, or YouTube, or even Amazon Prime, let me give you a list of documentaries I have personally watched and learned from to start my journey!!! Be ready for a long list!! because there are so many but again its so worth it!
The first one is What the health, it was so good and extremely enlightning
Forks over knives is focused on the health and nutrition aspect of veganism
Cowspiracy goes over the environmental impact of animal agriculture and how it effects us and our health and livelihood
Earthlings, this one was majorly credited by Ellen degeneres in her vegan journey, and this one covers the hard to handle truth of what happens, what really happens, in slaughter houses.
This is a small portion, of all the sources of the documentaries i’ve seen about going vegan! But if you’re more into reading stick around, because i have tons more to come!! and to thank you guys for joining this journey with me heres a shirt i personally own and i really love!!! we can all be “vegan vamipires” togeteher!!
This post is meant to help you all learn about veganism, my whole purpose with this and future posts is eductaion, I'm sure you've come across vegan activits in the paste who left you with a bad taste in your mouth so to speak which has never been my goal, so I'd love to help you on your journey to veganism, and how that looks for everyone, because full honesty, it is different for everyone, and thats completly fine, and even makes things more fun, because if we were all the same things would be super boring, so lets go on this journey, learn, grow, and enjoy life together, after all we do live on this earth together, so we may as well take care of the earth, and our bodies, because we only get one body, one earth, one life, so instead of being angry all the time or miserable or sticking to doing things a certain type of way because it's what we're used to, we should aim to try new things, try new foods, try new things in general, since being vegan I can honestly say I have tried many new foods and some of them were a hard pass, and some of them I still eat today, which is way awesome. I hope you're looking forward to learning, and growinf, and challenging yourself this year, who knows this may be the first year of your new life as a vegan, I'm going on three years as a vegan, and honestly I feel better than I did when I did eat things like meat dairy and eggs, which in the world today is just normal practice, which I get, thats how we were raised, conditioned to like certain flavors, textures, foods, etc and I understand change can be scary, or even sometimes hard, some people may still be underage and living with parents or guardians who may not understand veganism, or may not support you being vegan, but there are ways to make vegan choices while still living at home,and slowly transitioning to this lifestyle, which I will for sure be covering in later posts. I cant wait to help you all along on your new journey, and see you grow. You're all beautiful, and I thank you for reading this post and opening your mind

WELCOME TO VEGANISM
So you've probably read my last post, and hopefully you finished the documentaries i directed you to. If you have you're probably wondering now "well what can i do about this?" good news i have things you can do!! If you do still have meat in your house and someone who's willing to take it, give them the list i showed you, and let them learn too, then take the meat you bought and either toss it or give it to someone in your house that still eats meat. Now i know thats not the best option, as you still have the meat that you bought, or the dairy, or even honey, which we'll get into honey and all of that in a later post, but now we'll cover what you can do as far food if you have beans, rice, lettuce, veggies, or fruit, in your house right now thats a great start!!! but you'll need food for later on, so what should you do? go to your local grocery store and look for fruit or veggies you enjoy for snacking on, hummus, gardein "meat" and beyond meat, because we're vegan we still have taste (lol) and then get some just egg, or if your store doesnt have that they might have follow your heart eggs, Both of which are great!! theres so much vegan junk food, because even though we dont contrubite to the abuse and torture of animals anymore we still want to treat our selves, and good news guys, we can still have oreos, spicy sweet chili doritos, and yes even takis, but thats a personal preference to either eat it or not, (NOTE NOT ALL TAKIS ARE VEGAN) now for milk, yogurt and creamer?? "what can i do about that?" you may be thinking and silk almond milk brand has all of the above, my personal favorite being the chocolate almond milk, and there are so many options most of which are in the produce area, aside from the obvious, fruits and veggies, there's tempah, tofu, hot dogs (and yes you read that right vegan hot dogs) and vegan bacon of the same brand (i havent tried that bacon so i have no knowledge on how good that one is) but also smoothies are great i love having smoothies, also putting fruit or berries in the yogurt is so good too.
