Hello everyone I'm going to tell you all a little bit about myself so here goes:
I became a vegetarian about 8 months ago and I'm going to try out vegan very soon.
The reason why I became a vegetarian was mostly because of the ethical side of it, you know "animals have feelings too" kinda thing. And recently I want to become vegan because being vegetarian is the first step to help animals and the next is veganism. No one in my family agrees with me being a vegetarian and they always try to make points on what I eat like "you won't get your protein" etc. even though I explained many things about it they still don't agree with it unfortunately.
I'm an atheist who doesn't believe in any God and neither does my family. The reason I'm an atheist? I honestly don't know I just don't believe in God, I never did and I'm pretty sure I never will. I know many people will disagree with me but it's my opinion so yeah.
And now I will tell you some other things about me:
I like watermelon, I like games and things like that and I don't know what else to put. Bye I guess?

Well it's not like you choose to not believe in God.

Re: Hi everyone
Thanks and I was just raised in a non-religious family so ever since I could think for myself I guess.

Re: Hi everyone
Welcome VeggieJake!
Congrats on going veg, we can definitely offer you advice on going vegan, but family can be tough to deal with. Some times it just takes time to get the facts through.
Bringing solid numbers, like printing out the nutrition data for foods, can some times help- seeing is believing, more so than hearing, since they can dismiss more easily what you say.
