How I became a veggie: I had wanted to be vegetarian for health reasons for a while, I finally went for it at my first Rainbow Gathering in 2004, where all the food was vegetarian and I had a chance to sample so much yummy food that it convinced me I could do it. I did a lot of research about the animal rights and environmental reasons for being veg and becoming more active in animal rights got me interested in veganism. I am veg because I want my lifestyle to reflect my beliefs and morals.
