Introduction	Here it goes... my name is Jennifer and I feel as if I was never much of a carnivore. I much preferred vegetables and pasta as a child. Don't get me wrong, I was not raised vegetarian and there was definitely meat and dairy throughout my childhood. But I knew there was a reason for my confliction, whether because of my love for animals, or my body's subconscious knowing it would run better without animal protein. So at the age of 14, I became a vegetarian, but without really knowing what that entailed. Of course without doing much research to confound my beliefs I fell off the wagon for a few years in college and gave in to poultry. However, after returning to vegetarianism in August of 2009, I became intrigued in the nutrition and environmental aspects as well. It was in March 2010 after watching Food Inc. and reading "The Kind Life" that I decided Veganism was the best option for my diet. Since then I have delved into books and research on health and nutrition as well as foods and cooking. I think I've learned quite a bit and can't wait to continue on the journey. I hope this blog inspires you through the information and ideas that I hope to share!
