I have been reducing my consumption of animal products over the last year, I made it to pescetarian but struggled to cut fish and dairy out completely.
I've spent my time as a pescetarian researching the treatment of animals on dairy and meat farms and within the fishing industry trying to source sustainable and ethical sources. I never found any that sat right with my conscience.
Last week I read 2 articles, 1 was about the myth behind ethical egg production and the other was about the wool industry. I cried myself to sleep on Friday night and took the leap on Saturday morning.
I feel so much better in my heart. I have always read food labels to confirm the origin of my food and ingredients so this has been an easy process for me over the last year.
I am also fortunate to have a partner who supports my decision fully and I, in turn, support his choices.
What hints and tips do you have for a new vegan?
Is there anything I should be aware of during this period of transition?
Thanks for reading.
