I'm a vegetarian and I have been for quite a while now. But I think being vegan could be better. Maybe I'll contribute to something by doing so.
First off - I went was vegetarian when I was 11 yo because I saw a video about farms and such... I felt bad. Then I went back to being an omnivore because of teasing from my father. Then, at 13 I went vegetarian because of an argument at school (quite silly but here goes - in Cooking Class they kept doing the same things over and kept using meat and such, so in defiance I went vegetarian so they had to do something different!)
I've grown to like animals. Not long ago a friend brought along a dog and it liked me (tried to lick me!). However, as a kid I had no such luck. a) One time when I was 9 (I didn't know better, don't judge...) in the summer I kept a butterfly in a jar and forgot to release it and it died. I felt (and still feel) bad about it. I learned from the experience. b) When I was 10 I owned 3 goldfishes and I treated them well. I fed them and cleaned the tank and everything. Two of them died of natural causes. Then a couple months later I had to give the remaining fish to somebody else since I moved away.
I'm considering going vegan because I read about the treatment of cows and chickens on farms. But I don't know any vegan recipes or anything. AND I'm allergic to nuts. Should I just give up?
Any other reasons to convince me?
