My journey into veganism began in 1987 through 1989. In 1987 I gave up read meat; in 1988 I gave up chicken; on January 1, 1989 I gave up seafood and dairy. That was when I was 25. So, I’ve been vegan most of my life.
Honestly, there was no intent on becoming vegan because I didn’t know what the word meant back then. I just felt it was a good idea to stop eating meat products for superior health. It was the best decision I’ve ever made.

I’ll get started after the holidays. The only problem is that there is always a holiday around the corner! Let us not forget about birthdays and special occasions. The best time to start is before holidays. The best time to start is now! This isn’t a “diet,” it’s a way of life and the sooner you can navigate eating fruits and vegetables throughout the holidays and special occasions, the better.
