More About Me
Reasons why I prefer to eat vegetarian or vegan:
to lessen my impact on the environment, to keep myself healthy, to support local farmers and businesses, to stop animal cruelty
I joined HappyCow Members Community because:
to discover great places to eat/shop, and to tell others about my favourites
