2019 is the year, guys. I have struggled with veganocity for the last 2 years. Its been really hard for me to fully rid animal products from my life. But I have decided that this is my year. This is it.
It is getting so much easier to be a vegan. Vegan options are soooo much more readily available then they were a few years ago. And the vegan lifestyle is becoming so much more popular. So many people are choosing a lifestyle with less animal products for so many reasons. I mean doing it for the animals is one big reason but there are so many other reasons to as well. Like for the environment. It is so much more sustainable. And for your health, it is so much better for your body to fill it with plant products and foods that come straight from the earth.
And you definitely don’t have to be a health nut to be vegan. Trust me. Gardein fake meat, daiya fake cheese, lightlife fake hot dogs and fake cheese pizza really save my life as a vegan. There is even vegan White Castle burgers you can get at the supermarket. I mean as a major foodie, these are lifesavers.
Also, finding restaurants around you that have good vegan options is huge. There is an amazing all vegan place right near me which is AMAZING, Simply Green Cafe. That place is a lifesaver. They are also super accommodating when it comes to more environmental options. Like using your reusable cup for their smoothies or bringing in your own take home containers so you don’t use the throw away ones. They are amazing. But you can also download the app, HappyCow, and it will use your location to give you vegan-friendly food places. It’s great and free! And so many restaurants are taking the hint too. There are a lot of places that now offer the impossible burger {which is amazing for burger lovers, it really tastes like meat}. When ordering pizza, I’ll get a veggie pizza with no cheese on it. It’s actually really good and you can still have pizza.
But if going totally vegan is not for you, then try reducing your meat intake. We eat far too much meat as a society so even cutting back will have a major impact. You can also try finding a farm near you and only eating locally raised farm fresh. This is more sustainable for the environment and better for you. You can also find a farm which is more humane.
At the end of the day it’s about being aware. Being aware of what you are putting in your body. Being aware of the impact that has on the world around you. The reality is that we are destroying our planet and hurting living creatures in the process. We shape the society we want to live in, so why can’t that society be one that is kinder to all living beings and more sustainable for our planet?
So join me. 2019 is the year, guys.
Cheerio!
bt take the world.
