So Your Never Eating Meat Again........?!

Guess who's back (back again, thanks Eminem!)? Yep, after a few years rest, life changes and some amazing adventures I think it's time to put pen to paper again, well fingertip to key board!

So here I am with my brand new shiny blog and you are probably wondering what is new, right? Well I upped sticks from my single city girl apartment, moved out to the country side, got a cat called Gus (who is a girl) and a lovely man. Gone are the days of All Saints finest, MAC lipsticks and killer heels – life is now more Hunter wellies, attempting to be a domestic goddess, wondering why the cat has a bald patch (for £65 I was told she was apparently stressed!) and being vegan. Yep, you read that right. VEGAN. Nope, I am never eating eat, diary or any animal by product ever again. Will I forever have to deal with such pressing questions such as what do you eat? Where do you get your protein? How do you eat out? Don’t you miss bacon/ cheese / chocolate? Most likely.........

As going vegan seems to shock and confuse most people I will give you a minute to pick yourself up from the floor.......

Better? Okies let me explain - for medical reasons I decided to cut diary out of my diet. Being the sensible gal I am (ha!) I started researching vegan diets as I wanted to ensure I would not be deficient in any important nutrients - except the more I read the sicker I felt. What started as research into healthy eating suddenly became an eye opening experience to the untold horrors of the treatment of millions of animals. The decision was simple - I wanted no part of it. Just like that. No prep work, no debating, no consulting with friends and family, I just became vegan there and then.

So this little blog will follow my journey and rambling thoughts of my new found life style, I am sure there will be ups and downs with a few surprises along the way (who knew crisps had milk in them?!) but no matter how bumpy the path I know I am on the right one*.

 

*To be clear this blog is not a stage for me to take the moral high ground, I am not better than anyone else (vegans believe we are all equal!) because of my choices but I believe my choice make a positive contribution to society and the world which is what matters to me. If you choose to eat meat / dairy and use products which are not vegan then it is totally your choice - I only ask you educate yourself on exactly how that steak got on your plate and the milk in your coffee was produced…...
