Hello from toronto!

[Catman]

I'm a semi-professional soccer player from Toronto who just went vegan about 6-7 months ago.

It's made a tremendous difference in my life, and I'm happy that I stumbled across this forum full of like-minded people.

Welcome! What difference did it make for you?

No significant difference in terms of athletic performance. Big difference in terms of everything else

Hi to veryone on the thread! All my love and best wishes to you guys!

I don't think there was anything specific, I've just always had that kind of bad feeling in the back of my mind.

Up until that point, I made the BS excuse of "Oh I need to eat meat if I'm going to be a high level athlete", so I did the typical ignoring of things I came across and mental gymnastics to continue feeling okay about eating meat.

I'm not sure what it was specifically, but at some point I felt compelled to do some actual in-depth research and switched the day after.
