Hello
Hello, my name is Daniel. I am new to this forum. I like The Vegan Atheist's YouTube channel. (Or rather, "TVA - The Vegan Atheist" as the channel is named now.) I have been vegan for around two years now for ethical and health reasons and I really like the content that vegan YouTube channels create. I do not know any other vegans personally irl, so maybe being active here will help remedy that. Thanks for reading

Re: Hello
The health aspect of veganism was the main draw for me at the beginning. After around one month of being vegan the ethical arguments started to make more sense since I no longer had any attachment to meat/dairy/eggs and there was no bias to cloud my judgement.brimstoneSalad wrote: βSat Jun 10, 2017 6:13 pm Welcome Daniel, I hope you like it here.

Re: Hello
Welcome aboard!
Are there any specific health issues that improved once you went Vegan that you'd like to discuss? It might help others that are considering the switch.

Re: Hello
Thank you. And yes: I had a lot more energy to waste. Combined with at least six-eight hours of sleep I feel invincible and inexhaustible. Also, all of my problems with constipation have disappeared. I am sure my cholesterol levels dropped, but I don't know exactly because I didn't care to pay for a blood test at the time.

Re: Hello
Welcome and congratulations to becoming vegan. Were you vegetarian before making the change? What is it about the Buddhist philosophy that appeals to you?
How to become vegan in 4.5 hours:
1.Watch Forks over Knives (Health)
2.Watch Cowspiracy (Environment)
3. Watch Earthlings (Ethics)
Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.
