There are so many reasons that are being tackled day to day. Being a vegan has the most reasons of keeping it STRONG. Strength in knowledge, strength in the types of food they consume and strength in benefits
And how does one go about in adopting this lifestyle?
Educate yourself on what to do first. Get your toes wet. Feed your mind and soul on what it is to be a vegan. Eat, breathe and live the ways of vegan living. Immerse yourself in the beginnings of the vegan way. They say, start by eliminating animal cruelty in your life.
