About Me: Image and video hosting by TinyPic Image and video hosting by TinyPic

How I became a veggie: Veggie-ism chose me. My love for animals could not be ignored. I was raised on a farm and learned to appreciate animals for themselves not for what we can utilize from them. I was 13 y.o when I became vegetarian. I was the only vegetarian I knew in my 100% mormon community and I was criticized and harrassed by friends and family. Adults were the worst. I wanted to become vegan (I didn't know the word "vegan" yet) and I knew there was a reason for it. I was always the only veg I knew throughout my teens and there was no support system for my lifestyle. At 22, I started to read "A Diet for a New America" and became vegan halfway through the book and I have never looked back. I am involved in animal rights in Utah because I witnessed animal abuse by my brothers as a child and it has deeply affected me and my relationship with animals. I have an undying compassion for all animals and I want to protect them from evil humans!

Vampira, thanks for adding me. I hope you and yours are well. REady for the snow? it's coming. Do you live in SLC? not SLM?! SLC seems to be pretty kicking for vegs. There's a vegan bakery that just opened there.
nice to meet you,
Russ
Vampira is a great song by the misfits!

You are quite welcome. =-)

oh shit. havent been to Sandy one. I live in Midvale. I kinda stick to myself. Sometimes I dont see daylight for days, lol. I really dispise the outside-my-door world. The only good thing in my life is my vegan wife; but even that aint perfect being we are seperated geologically for now... anyways... nice to meet you at least.

thanks for the add. utah eh? wanna hang out some day? lol, would be cool. peace!

Thank you for the add- Perhaps I know you as we are fellow Utahns...

Great to meet you, VV.
Well, I thought being on a quest (for employment) sounded better than saying I'm "unemployed" :P

I think it's amazing that you found your way to vegetarianism completely independently- without ever even knowing what it was. I am always fascinated when I heard those stories, because I think it means we can resist and rise above our surroundings and environment. It means people don't really have an excuse for going along with things that are wrong; there are others who can act on what is morally right. I really admire that!!!

Thanks for adding me back! Hope you have a good week.

i would buy a juicer if i had any money to spend on one!

Thank you :) Look forward to hearing more from you.

Read your comment to my question, which lead me to your profile, which led me to your blurb, "Why I became a ..." Very impressive :)

Hey thanks for the request! And your love of animals :) My mom grew up on a farm too and she came out the complete opposite.

Hey< I get criticized and harassed too. Thanks for the add.

what do you say to those that mock your lifestyle.

>I do love plants but I have a black thumb and I kill house plants

I have a friend who apologizes (to the plant) everytime someone gives him a house plant.

Thanks for requesting me!
Much love!
