More About Me

Reasons why I prefer to eat vegetarian or vegan:
I prefer to be vegan because it is not fair to participate in animal cruelity simply for selfish human consumption. My cousin was vegan before I was. We were up at my grandparent's house and I ate the same things as her; at that time I was vegetarian. After that vacation I thought "hey, man I could totally be vegan! Well, why don't I just do it?" I also believe in reincarnation:"Animal killers do not know that in the future the animal will have a body suitable to kill them. That is the law of nature." (Bhagavad Gita, 14:16)

I joined HappyCow Members Community because:
I joined HappyCow Members Community because it looked pretty groovy. I was looking up vegan restaurants on the internet and got connected to this website. It's so cute, man! I totally dig the little purple cow! This website has good information about restaurants and stuff and there are interesting people on here.

Here are some places I've been that I liked... and places that I would like to visit one day:
I really want to go on a spiritual pilgrimage to India in order to become spiritually enlightened. Also I want to go to the United Kingdom and see famous spots in the music world and hopefully see the Bay City Rollers in concert. I have been to San Francisco and it's far out! I love big cities because there are so many different kinds of people so I don't feel like that much of a freak. However, I also dig small towns.My grandparents live up in Cambria and it's super groovy there. It's like part beach and part forest and there are a lot of deer and other animals up there.

Some of my favorite veg*n foods include:
People think I am weird because I like healthy foods. I don't understand how someone could have like an absolute favourite food because there are so many to choose from. Vegetarian samosas are one of my favourites. I really dig Indian food and Middle Eastern food.

Here are some books, movies, magazines, and my favorites that I would recommend to other HappyCow members:
Watch "Food Inc. and "The Human Footprint". "Food Inc." made me cry because it showed how animals are treated so cruelly. No matter what people say there is no such thing as a 'humane way'of killing someone. "The Human Footprint" showed how much food that the average human consumes in a lifetime. It said that people eat like 2,000 chickens and hundreds of pounds of beef. Sad. Get the books "Vegan With A Vengeance","Veganomicon" "Tofu Cookery", and Linda McCartney's books. Definitely read the Bhagavad Gita and Food for the Gods by Ryan Berry.
