| Introduction | I grew up always feeling that I cared about animals, but I had never really given a thought to what I ate. In 2008 when a vegan friend asked me why I cared enough about animals to devote time and money to rescue groups and animal welfare organizations, but still ate meat, I realized that the friend had an excellent point. Since then, I transitioned first to a vegetarian diet, and then to an entirely vegan diet, learning that it's not nearly as hard as most people believe! I enjoy finding ways to eat ethically on a student's budget, and proving that you don't to have meat in order to get enough protein to support active physical hobbies. Cooking was never my strong suit, but I've had to learn fast after leaping into the vegan lifestyle! I recently graduated with a BS in microbiology, and work in a diabetes research lab. I like to spend my free time reading, rock climbing, playing computer games, studying martial arts, and playing with my several cats. |
