In the meantime, be blessed; I’ll see you in the blogosphere

Thank you so much for leaving a comment and for responding so honestly. I’m absolutely delighted that you have come to the point of considering going vegan and I’m glad that I have been able to play a remote part in that.

I think that it is one simple thing that we can do in life that makes such a great difference in every way. I find it hard to understand why people are so resistive to becoming vegan but then I forget that I was a devoted meat eater for most of my life. However, switching was not difficult. Taste is culturally defined and if you change your “inner” culture you quickly come to the point where you would no more want to eat an egg than a piece of your own brain.

Changing my diet and preferences has been very easy; but talking to people about it and functioning in social situations that are focused on consuming animal flesh and secretions has been the more challenging part.

I’m thankful that vegans are a friendly and supportive bunch of people and although I only know one other vegan in my town, there is a great community online.

I wish you every blessing on the journey

Seymour.

Thank you so much for all of this. I have been a vegetarian pretty much all of my life. My parents are Indian (and therefore, so am I…doh!) and they gave up before I was born. I spent most of my childhood arguing with some pretty stupid people including other parts of my family, about not eating meat. It was tiring!

I did go through a stage when I was a teenager, of eating meat but soon realised I don’t have it in me to do it. I am energy sensitive and would feel a strange energy in me that I knew wasn’t me. I would also picture slaughtered animals straight after eating meat. So that didn’t last.

At the age of 37, I am at the stage where I am seriously considering becoming vegan. Your comment about eggs being chickens menstruation has really struck a chord with me and I feel a bit sick at the thought now. The egg eating was something I did. My parents didnt eat fish, meat or eggs but do other dairy. I feel a bit crap for doing it if I am honest. I was taught better. I think I am done with eggs, in fact, I am done.

The rest is challenging and I suppose no matter how hard it is, I need to watch some vids and educate myself. I am having an epiphany and you are the instigator of that! I sincerely thank you because I needed to go through this. My body has been hinting it for ages, I just needed to take the bait and you really helped. I love the idea of raw food too so I may look into that.

Sorry if I have ranted on a bit but better out than in I guess!

Please don’t ever apologise for your work because you make changes, like you have with me. We are all big enough to make decisions and read what we want and what we don’t. The education is your responsibility but the reading and taking it on board lies with the reader.

Thanks again,

Thanks! Robert Rife

She does have a way with words and a manner of encouragement to push past all those roadblocks that has helped me on many occasions.

I’ll have to give this one a go!
