Young Vegan

Hi Everyone, 
I've been a vegetarian my whole life and have recently (over the past few years) gone vegan. I chose to become a vegan because I feel it is beneficial to my health, the animals and the environment. Also, I just enjoy this lifestyle. (: 

I'm new to the Gaia community, so I have been looking for groups that I might find interesting. Any suggestions?

I'm open for discussion, as I love talking about why people go “veg”, exchanging recipes, etc. - so please feel free to reply to this post!

Peace & love,
Nirel (:

welcome and thank you for sharing your history of being a vegetarian followed by a vegan diet.

There are so many interesting groups in Gaia, I guess you'll enjoy those which relate to your interests - maybe you can share a little more about yourself so we can make suggestions

love

welcome Nirel!  I am wondering of an example of a day in the life of eating vegan.  Would you be interested in planting a garden some day?

Thank you HummingBird and Lee for your warm welcomes! 

I am super excited to look into different groups on Gaia. I love discussing various philosophical topics such as psychology, religion, veganism, the earth, and more. I am also very much into music and theatre. I hope that helps in the suggestion-making process. (:

As for a day in the life of a vegan – it's difficult to describe what I eat on a day-to-day basis, as my meals are constantly changing. However, I can tell you what I ate today:
Breakfast - organic flaxseed waffle w/ organic maple syrup & fresh berries
Lunch - veggie chick'n pattie sandwich & a big salad
Dinner - baked tofu (with soy sauce, nutritional yeast and sesame seeds) and jasmine rice - all wrapped in collard greens, with a sauce (made from tomato sauce, plum vinegar, garlic, olive oil and various spices) on top.
Random snacks - apple, banana and other fruits

Hope that helps! Oh - and yes, I would love to plant a garden. I'm actually currently in the process of planting one.

Yum… this convinces me to take the time to go Vegan.  Nirel it is pure joy that you are beginning a garden.  Lee will answer any questions on that. It's his thing for your generation.  Your tiny headshot is beautiful.

I invited you to be my friend so I can help you navigate Gaia.

To vegan recipes…
