For me it was health and keeping it that way. I see no point in eating the poison found in fast food, junk food, etc. Vitamins and minerals please. They can keep the HFCS and MSG.

What motivated you?

    Predominantly environmentalism. Buying vegetables over meat is just radically lower impact. I buy local (or, better, grow it myself) as much as I can can too.

    Ethics certainly is a concern, as is health. Though, I have a lot of allergies, which makes it challenging at times. Still, I’m used to not being able to eat a lot of food, to restaurants not having anything I can eat. So I already was cooking most if my food from scratch, so it wasn’t the hardest pivot, even if my diet is objectively quite restricted
