    Just curious, what obsticles have you faced when trying to stay vegetarian/vegan. I’m about to come back from a 12 month tour in Afghanistan. Where It’s been necessary to break my 5 year vegan streak, and go back to being vegetarian.

    I’ve been vegetarian/sometimes vegan most of my life [from when I was a baby til' I was five and then from eleven until now] and it caused problems with my interractions with people. People would be all sorry if they cooked a meal with meat, people would ask about it ALL the time, I got called “Hippie” or “Weirdo” for it, and for my beliefs, I got kind of embarrased and shy about it but now I’ve got this kind of thing where I’d feel like I was doing something heinously wrong if I did eat meat after my three year streak [nearly four years!!]

    My biggest obstacles to veganism have been due to mental illness.

    Some events in my life have been hard but haven’t stopped me. I’ve been vegan while suffering parental abuse, while homeless, and while nearly broke, through depression, in the hospital… I think, in most situations, if you are dedicated you won’t have to give up your morality just for a little comfort.

    Life summary : I love animals even more than people

  • jpatr1d

    I have always loved animals, no matter what shape,size, color, species they are. I started as a vegetarian a few years ago, but i only knew that i didn't want to eat animal. i stoped for a while when i lost my job and ate what i could. no excuse i know. but soon later to realized my mission in life and purpose. i am here to be the voice of those who do not speak human. i changed my outlook to this because i found a boxer mix dog laying under my porch. she had gotten hit by a car and was severely starved. everyone around me was like leave it alone, you don't know where it came from, but i didn't care i had to save her. i rushed her to the emergency vet clinic where they did immediate surgery on her. despite those peoples commentary i saved a dogs life and from that point on i knew that if people treated a dog that way i wonder how people treat non domestic animals. I researched and came across peta2 where i now am an animal activist and vegan. I continue to help and save animals that i find and plan on never changing my ways for any one.
