Hello from Wisconsin

Post by DaRock »

I, like many of this forum's members, have overcome two of the most common delusions that have ever plagued mankind. I'm 17 and from the protestant dairyland of Wisconsin. I hope that by joining this forum I can overcome any more delusions yet unkown to me, politics anyone?

Welcome DaRock, what inspired you to go vegan? Any particular films/books or arguments?

A lot of things led to me becoming vegan but I would say finding the vegan atheist youtube channel and having a "normal" vegetarian friend were definitely the most influential factors. I already had become an atheist on my own. Now I would recommend the Unnatural Vegan on youtube and the books of Michael Pollan (although not a vegan) to friends. Overall the moral argument of not eating animal products when u do not have to in order to reduce suffering appeals the most to me.

Welcome and congratulations to such an impressive accomplishment. I was born an atheist but it took me 36 years to become a vegan.
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.
