November is National Vegan Month! Yeah, go vegans! I'm all about people vibing with their own dietary restrictions - whether it be for religious, environmental, or moral reasons, it's your decision! Even if you just don't like red meat (like me), it's important to find a diet that you jive with.

However, I think we can safely say we've had that conversation with a vegan. You've maybe been approached by an activist on the street telling you why it's important to be a vegan. And in the spirit of honesty, I totally support the movement of knowing where your food comes from. It's important to have a good, wholistic food education. So many people, especially in America, have a diminished understanding of where their food comes from, how these animals are treated, and what is actually in their food.

Stars such as Zooey Deschanel are starting to get more involved with food activism, through her program 'The Farm Project', which teaches people how to reconnect with their food and informs them as to why that's so important.

There are many good, valid reasons for being a vegan - and good for you. But my philosophy on dietary restrictions is to each their own. Don't like animal products? Don't eat 'em! Here are a few things, however, that I've heard to convince me that Veganism is the way to go.

1. I'm a vegan.

I’m a Virgo.

2. I’m not one of those vegans.

Then you know what people think of 'those vegans'?

3. Have you seen 'Food Inc'?

I’ve seen Food Network, Ina Garten makes a killer Rosemary Chicken.

4. There are a lot of reasons why you should be vegan, but, I won’t preach about it

~I can feel it coming~

5. This is why you should be a vegan though.

Alrighty, see you in 25 minutes

6. Drinking milk is like drinking puss.

Uhhhhh.. Okay.

7. Dairy-free cheese is just as good as regular cheese.

Slander.

8. Vegan brownies are so much better than regular brownies.

If you say brownies don’t need at least a cup of butter, you’re lying to yourself and everyone around you.

9. It’s honestly pretty easy.

To be... a... Vegan?

10. I treat my body so well, being Vegan makes me feel so much better.

Treat your body well? Pretty sure you blacked out last Saturday, Karin.

11. I haven’t had a pimple since I started being a Vegan.

I haven’t had a pimple since I changed my cleanser!
