Were you a vegetarian before becoming a vegan? And why be a vegan over a vegetarian?

No ...I ate regular - junk food,meat etc...

Vegetarians still eat dairy and eggs - both industries are cruel to the cows and chickens...

Vegans eat only plant based products...
No harm to animals...

I love fruit so I think I'll probably try that for breakfast and my Uni has quite good vegan options so I'll have a look, I do want to improve my diet anyway so I'll take your advice, thanks again! :biggrin:

Yes...
Take things gradual...
See what plant-based products you can add to your diet and what products which are made from animals you can take out...

I just love doing things "cold turkey" :biggrin:

I do think the same way about going cold turkey, personally if I go too gradually it's too easy for me to move back into old habits so I will give it my best shot! :biggrin:

It's not farming it's a cruel industry that tortures and slaughters billions of helpless animals every year.

I personally think those "free range eggs" are a complete BS by those companies who want to portray themselves as "humane", but in reality it's sill cruel...

Explain how eggs are produced, and milk then. You clearly don't know :smug:

" personally think" is the key phrase here.

One thing I should mention though , is that if you go cold turkey you need B12 which only occurs in animal food.
So you need to drink Almond/soy milk to to get that vitamin B12 which only occurs in meat...
