Hi from Europe.

Post by imani »

Hello! I'm from South-East Europe. I don't speak english perfect, but I found this forum interesting, and I would like to make conversations finally with people which have the same value-system as me. (supporting veganism, against cruelty) I went vegan just a half year ago, but I think this was the best decision of my life. I was an animal- and nature lover, when I realized, that loving animals and eating them is so hypocratical. I'm just 16 years old, trying to explain the people around me, that what they believed and what they are doing, is wrong. I get just contempt, so I really need to meet people who recognized yet, what are happening "behind the scenes". : )

Welcome Imani and congratulations on becoming vegan at such a young age. What do your parents think about your decision?

I'm so lucky with my parents. In the beginnings, they were skeptic, and said the basic things "health, protein, we need meat", but when they saw, that I became more positive, happy and full of energy, they started to support me, taste my food and admit, that this is such a good thing. My familiy's attitude changed a lot since I started to tell them my thoughts, they eat less meat, and see the consumer society from another perspective. I'm really proud of this.
