Hello philosophical vegans all around the world!
Realizing my vegan reasoning is rather stereotypical, I have decided to join this group among other things such as but not limited to review of my vegan diet. I would love to grasp this opportunity and think about any vegan subjects from unconventional prospective.
I have been a vegan for 16 years. I turned vegan for the ethical reasons after about a year period of being ethical vegetarian.
Have a good day,
M

Hello Margaret Beaufort, welcome to the forum. I hope you like it here.
16 years, that's impressive! Similarly, I was a vegetarian for 2 years for ethical reasons, until I discovered the horrors of the dairy and egg industries. Vegan 3 years now, with many more decades to come!Margaret Beaufort wrote: βFri Apr 21, 2017 4:39 am I have been a vegan for 16 years.

Hello Jamie in Chile, when and how long have you been in Prague? Do you plan to come back one day, one day maybe?

Hello Lightningman_42! that was precisely my reason to go vegan. I started reading a book called Ethernal Treblinka by Charles Patterson. I must admit, I never was strong to finish reading it. How did you discover the horrors?

I turned vegetarian after learning about the ahimsa philosophy which I came across when studying the yoga shastras.
I am afraid I used a wrong word, calling my reasoning stereotypical. I have just learned in the dictionary that stereotype means "a set idea that people have about what someone or something is like, especially an idea that is wrong". I probably shoudl have said and or wanted to say typical.
