This is very long, but it is a movie I watched that inspired me to become a vegan. I have been vegetarian for 6 years now, but this is what turned me vegan… Why does this excite me? This excites me because I love talking about why I am vegan and answering all of the other questions that people ask.
Why I am vegan: It is a mental choice that I make. I do not like the idea of eating anything that came from an animal. It is environmentally friendly to be vegan: the amount of water that is used and the gases that are omitted into the air when killing and preparing an animal is extremely dangerous to the earth. There are many more reasons and that is why this excites me, I believe that if more people were vegan, the environment would benefit. People would also benefit because of the positive health aspects that one gets from eliminating animal products. All of these ideas are laid out in the documentary COWSPIRACY.
If you are interested, this DOCUMENTARY is very inspiring and informational on this subject.
I watched Cowspiracy during my junior year of high school and actually ended up writing a paper about the Global water crisis and the problem of water consumption in our world. This is indeed a VERY informative documentary!
I once read a novel on the benefits of going vegan. Not only does it affect your psychical and mental wellbeing, but it also does wonders for our environment. A lot of the animals that are used just to be killed create tons of added pollution to our environment every year. The waste could be eliminated if people lived a plant-based diet. While I am not a vegan, I did go vegan for a few months after this novel. I also cut out all caffeine and diet sodas. I was more focused on my work, got better sleep, and overall was living a happier and healthier lifestyle. I hope someday to try out the whole vegan thing, but until then I will keep educating myself on the benefits of it.
