Welcome! I hope you like it here. What inspired you to give up meat/later go vegan?
I initially went vegetarian for ethical reasons, and two years later went vegan (also for ethical reasons). I had watched a video called "From Farm to Fridge" and after that I gave up all animal products over night. Now that I've been vegan for so long, I find myself committing to it for environmental reasons as well

You sound like an interesting person!
What part of California are you from? I've spent a lot of time there, and I love north "Cali" for the scenery and weather, but mid and south have some nice parts as well. I particularly miss Ontario; they had a sushi restaurant that did a vegetable(Vegan) roll that was AMAZING!, and I haven't been able to find one as good since. (Fresh avocado and I believe some kind of apricot dressing, with various sprouts... I miss it soo much..
)
Nice to see I'm not the only person who has ever drove a motorbike into a tree!
(Luckily, the thorn bushes slowed me down first....)
Nice to meet you!
Edit- I watched the video of Lay Vegan responding to Blair, and I thought he made some really good points. (I do like Blair; I don't always agree with her, but I find her intriguing..) I really didn't get her saying that taking B12 supplements could somehow be detrimental to her liver.... seems like the other meds would be much worse.
Thank you! I'm from more of the mid-southern part of Cali. I've been to north Cali a few times and I quite like it; there's a lot of beautiful desert scenery up there. I've also been to Ontario, though I've never had that amazing vegan sushi! It sounds delicious so I'll definitely have to keep an eye out for it the next time I'm there
I'm also surprised to have met someone else that has had a similar motorbike experience, though yours sounds a bit more painful with the thorn bushes omg
I also enjoy some of Blaire's videos. I think she makes good points and offers insight into political opinions that differ from mine.
From what I've heard she's actually retracted the liver comment on a livestream, though I feel like a formal acknowledgement on her part would be better (perhaps on twitter or YouTube) since that misinformation is still up there and has the potential to influence people who don't know better.
