veganism

I am so happy that I can call myself a vegan and include myself in that culture. Just to get rid of any question, being vegan means to not eat anything that came from an animal or that once was a living creature. It is all for the wellbeing of animals and treating them humanely. There is so much compassion and activism that runs throughout our community. We care about love and change for the better and all in the name of ethical treatment of animals. Vegans are inclined to do things for others because we know how hard it is to be a vegan and get lots of good food easily. So whenever there is a function like the renegade craft fair they have lots of cheap or free vegan food. There is also an organization called Food not Bombs that puts together free food drives with all vegan food. Our compassion for the happiness of animals translates into having empathy for our fellow human beings too. We look out for the happiness of others and spread activism into more than just for animal rights. I am so proud to say I am a part of the vegan community and I try to lead others to see things the way I do. And maybe someday being a vegan will stop being considered being part of a sub culture, and it will be a major part of society
