Being newly born VEGAN...:)

It's a new month which obviously means a new blog post! :) I'm feeling so blessed just looking around nature. As nature exquisitely changes color by the grace of the Creator, I feel at peace. This new month has brought me something huge in a space of nine days. I decided something for myself...that I would become vegan! Many people have reacted to this with shock and disdain and obviously condemn it. I received a lot of reactions that go something like this, "Erin, you CAN'T become vegan! God says in the bible that he made those BEASTS for us to eat! What about your PROTEIN!" And they go on and on with their unintelligent outrages. So, I the newly covenanted vegan, must correct them in the gentlest way I know. First of all, I CAN become vegan. It is my life and it does not say in the bible that I shouldn't become one either. I know plenty of happy and healthy vegans. (Plus, we live longer..) AND I truly despise the word "beasts". Back in the day, that term was parallel to animals. And we ARE animals. So we're basically calling ourselves beasts as well. I realized how much I cherished animals and how much I was hurting them by eating them. My logic  is justified by this...What if hot dogs were actually dogs? Would you still eat them? Probably not, if you were a decent, well-mannered person. But what does a pig or cow and dog have in difference? You could train a pig to become a pet. As cheesy as this comparison is what about Charlotte's Web? Many children have often wept or felt heart-broken when the Father was so close to slaughtering the baby pig for breakfast...yet we raise our children to eat their childhood book's best friend. It's ludicrous and unethical. Plus it also states in the bible "Thou Shalt not kill" but everyone seems to overlook THAT.

Now I will not deny, I enjoyed eating meat and dairy products. Their the epitome of our society. Hot dogs, Hamburgers and ice cream are a common American fast food we cherish. That I once cherished. But think of how much it was all commercialized. We got the "Got Milk" signs up in the elementary's cafeterias walls and McDonald's practically everywhere...(which I'm not sure is even meat)...It's just completely outrageous how much lobbying is going around. So I've decided to give up junk food as well. It's meaningless and will only cause health issues.

On the other hand the issue about protein. Us vegans actually take in more protein then many meat-lovers think. We take in many sources of protein through vitamins and beans and etc. The thing we vegans need to look out for and for those who reject seafood is the omega 13. That is an important vitamin we need to take in to maintain our healthy balance. You can find vegan omega 13 vitamins in places like Whole Foods. So if your thesis against vegans is we don't take in much protein, you are utterly false.






So I want to end this blog on the 10 reasons why being a vegan has made me a happier and healthier person and why I did it in the first place....

1. Because I love animals. And that includes sea-based creatures like fish and such.
2. Because it was a health-conscience choice and has improved my cholesterol immensely
3. Being a vegan has actually cause me to have the desire to work out more and actually stick to a workout routine...healthy ways results in healthy living
4. Because I've always enjoyed organic food as a child, being a vegan only helps me even more to choose healthy foods and to buy things from healthy markets like Whole Foods and Trader Joes
5.  Being vegan has helped me with my cooking skills! I like to experiment a lot and vegan recipes are way more tastier than non-vegan meals!
6. Being a vegan has helped me watch what I eat. And helped me cut out those unnecessary calories
7. Being a vegan just has made me glow literally because a lot of foods I eat relieve oily and dry skin! :)
8.Being a vegan has made me glow internally because I just feel so much more joy in my life and excitement and have the thrill of having a healthy life style!
