Here we go!

First off I have to admit I am terrible at writing. Seriously. That being said, I have always loved reading blogs, but never actually thought i would have one. Having been a vegetarian/vegan earlier on in my childhood, the decision to revert back about a year ago was met with many sighs and questions from all. You see I come from a family that eats their vegetables sparingly and slathered in butter and with a side of bacon wrapped something. Growing up it was not uncommon to have half a cow in our freezer. Yes i know, disgusting.

From a very young age I can remember questioning why we eat animals, it always confused me why we would consider something so cute, and sing songs about it and learn about it in school and then go home and eat it. I remember the day I exclaimed to my parents that i was never going to eat meat again, needless to say they didn't take it very well. My mom was more understanding, thinking it was just a phase, my dad on the other hand pretty much told me it would kill me. Anyway that "phase" lasted 4 years and was the best decision I ever made. Now at the age of 19 I am back with a vengeance and have made it my personal mission to broaden my vegan horizons and show everyone I know just how delicious and exciting it is to be cruelty free!
