More About Me

Reasons why I prefer to eat vegetarian or vegan:

After researching about improving my health, reading many articles, and watching countless videos... I made the choice to start pursuing a vegan lifestyle. So just like that, I jumped in not knowing what to expect at first. I can't lie, I've made many mistakes along the way, not eating enough calories, too much fat/protein, etc... but with good information I have indeed learned from the mistakes and continue on my path. ~~~ Currently, I have been enjoying an ethical plant based lifestyle for a few years now and can say what most of you already know: I wish that I had understood this way of life much sooner. We are so heavily conditioned and indoctrinated in our society so understanding the differences and truths I have learned make it all that much easier to say that will always be my past. ~~~ I feel veganism is once of the most important decisions in improving the well-being of all species... as well as the planet. I ultimately feel compassion is rooted deep inside all of us... we just need to be de-programmed, awakened or detoxed. I started out doing this just for my health, but it has been shaped into pursuing the well being of everything and everyone else. For the people, for the planet, for the animals. *

I joined HappyCow Members Community because:

Looking to connect, meet like minded individuals, ethical and physically active vegans, plant eaters, fruitarians, raw foodies and compassionate individuals.

Here are some places I've been that I liked... and places that I would like to visit one day:

I love mostly every new place I've been, visual stimulation is something we all crave, new and exciting environments satisfy our soul.

Some of my favorite veg*n foods include:

Too many to list... organic, mono meals of fresh ripe fruit (the best,) fresh veggies (potatoes, yams, corn), Thai / Vietnamese / Japanese / Chinese as well as other Asian veg cuisine, Indian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Italian, Native American / Mexican, South American, African, anything else high in healthy carbohydrates with low protein/fat/salt.

Here are some books, movies, magazines, and my favorites that I would recommend to other HappyCow members:
