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?

    We hatched chickens in elementary school to learn about reproduction or something? I don’t remember the actual details, I think it was 1st or 2nd grade. I kept mine and she was my pet and I loved her. All the other stuff I learned later cemented my decision and it took a while to sink in – I had her as a child and only actually became vegan as an adult – but at the core I remember Pepper (she was white with little black spots, get it?) and she convinced me I can’t have eggs or meat just by being my friend.
