And I am really proud of that. I got diagnosed pre diabetic two years ago and that was when I decided to take my health more seriously. I had been vegan before for almost a year and lost a lot of weight so I knew that I could do it again. So, on top of wanting to do something good for the earth, I also chose to become vegan because it is good for my body. Especially since seeing a documentary about how terrible the meat standards are the the U.S. compared to the rest of the world. But I have never liked meat. Since hitting my 30s, my body stopped being able to process dairy anymore. Eggs made me break out into hives (which is how I know something has eggs in it now and someone iied to me). So it was like all of these signs were telling me, "Be vegan again. But do it forever this time." it has been a year now and while I did choose to eat meat one time (It was a meal my mother used to make when I was a child and I don;t know how much longer she is going to be here with me, so I wanted to taste her comfort food for what may be the very last time, please don't be mean). And the longer I stick to this lifestyle, the more that I cannot even Stan th4e smell of met. I can taste dairy in everything; the texture of non-vegan candy vs vegan candy is palatable. People try to lie to me just so I won't make a fuss, but I'm not stupid. They are though lol.
