I've been vegetarian since I was 25 years old. I slowly migrated toward veganism and made the switch to strict vegan when i turned 50 in 2016. I'm also gluten free now so it's really hard to find places to eat! = ) def worth it tho. I will NEVER go back to eating animals. My wish is for the world to go vegan! what a better place it would be if we all respected life - all life. = )
