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.

A wise man once said, “There is no love more sincere than the love of food.” (George Bernard Shaw) I really do not believe I can relate to anything more than I relate to this quote. I love hot dogs on a summer day, tacos on a Tuesday, and chicken fingers on a Friday. I love trying foods that I’ve never had before. I have willingly tried things like frog legs, tofu, truffle honey and squid. I will never pass up a free sample at Wegmans, even if I have eaten the same thing 100 times before; I will not pass it up because I know it will bring me happiness if I taste it. I become excited over the same foods time and time again because I know they will never fail me. When I find a new food that I love it brings me great joy knowing that I have just one more thing that I can count on to always be delicious. Of course there are stereotypical foods that I love like chocolate, spaghetti, and soup, but then there are foods that many people would turn up their nose to that I just dive right into. I love foods like blue cheese, meatloaf, Brussels sprouts and sardines (preferably with spicy mustard). Honestly, instead of talking about all the food I DO like, it is much easier to say the few things I do NOT like. I cannot stand the thought of eggplant, pork, or zucchini; otherwise I will gladly eat anything put in front of me. I could go on for pages and pages. I could write a whole book, maybe even an entire book series about all the foods I love. I could dissect every single thing I’ve ever eaten and tell you why I love it so much. Food is easily one of the best parts of my life and I will never grow tired of it.

Many different things excite me! It depends on what it’s for. One thing that always excites me is when I find a new song or an old one pops up that I forgot about. That always makes me feel 10 times more energetic. Currently, I keep listening to the song “Tints” by Anderson Paak to get into a good mood in the morning. Here it is! https://youtu.be/V5sHrsCv6VI

Think differently when you are stuck.
