Why the heck should I be reading a post to give up on food?!! I love food. Food is life. Food is bae. I just won’t be able to survive without Mac & Cheese! That’s what you would be thinking before reading this post. But I can assure that your life will change after reading this post.
Because back in a few months ago, I’d never thought I would be able to go pescetarian, let alone vegan! If someone even is a vegetarian, my first question would be “How do they survive?!!” But having been a vegetarian for almost five months, I have experienced the greatest things of my life and I am so glad for having made this decision. And I have now decided to step up the game and go vegan! If you are thinking that a sane person would never go vegan, read these seven reasons for the perks of doing it.
1. You know the cool kids have gone vegan.
Ellie Goulding, Ariana Grande, David Carter, Flo Rida, Tobey Maguire, Carrie Underwood... Just to name a few. It's automatically implied that cool people go vegans.
2. You have a compassionate heart.
You have to be proud of going vegan because:-
- You are saving animals
- You are saving the environment
- You are saving the homeless
Going vegetarian isn’t enough to save animals because it still takes animal suffering even when you eat dairy products! Also,slogans like “Going Green” isn’t enough to save the earth! By going vegan, you are saving the environment by not contributing to pollution, unlike eating meat which is wasteful. Thirdly, you are saving those suffering from hunger because it takes more water, food and energy to raise a pound of meat than a pound of broccoli.
3. You become stronger.
It's a myth that eating vegetables that have no protein makes you weaker. Actually, living a life with plant-based products make you feel less sluggish and fresher. You just have to feel it for yourself.
4. There is a vegan substitute for almost everything.
Going vegan doesn’t mean you have to give up what you love. Whether it is cheese, yogurt or gravy, there is a vegan substitute for everything. Although it may taste weird the first time around eating them, you will absolutely savor every bite of them after a couple of times! You will be surprised how easy life without meat and diary is.
5. You can find vegan food everywhere.
Because veganism is so popular now, you can hardly find a place where there is no vegan food. You can find plenty of delicious vegans recipes on the internet too!
6. You can still eat a burger and still not give a thing.
It's hard to get around comfort, meaty foods, but you they are so calorie and cholesterol loaded. There are also cases of animal poisoning so you can't totally trust what is going inside your body. But with vegan foods which mostly constitute of vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, your head will be clear of all these thoughts. Vegan foods are mostly nutrient dense and super delicious too! Especially if you are a person who feels guilty after eating too many calories, try going vegan because most vegan foods are healthy! Calories will just be numbers.
7. If you are a vegan, you can do anything.
Just imagine yourself going vegan when you have always thought that you would not be able to survive without meat & diary. If you can do it, seriously, you will be able to do anything in life. It all just comes with giving it a try.
