Some decide to try a vegetarian diet only to give up in a short time because they miss a favorite food or maybe their family pressured them to come back to a meat diet.\u00a0 Some people decide to try vegetarian on day a week and never go beyond.\u00a0 I have heard of people who are vegan but decide to revert to their old ways during the holidays when family dinners consist of turkey or ham and hurting grandma’s feelings would cause irreparable damage to the family quilt.\u00a0 Then there are those who have gone vegetarian and transitioned to a vegan\u00a0 lifestyle or went vegan cold-turkey (no pun) and have stuck with it over the years.<\/p>\n

People choose vegan or vegetarian for a variety of reasons.\u00a0 Health, animal welfare are two of the most popular.\u00a0 I often ask people their reasons for going vegan or vegetarian and many just forget why and say they just decided to try it and stuck with it.<\/p>\n

So, I’m curious.\u00a0 What was your reason for going vegan or vegetarian?\u00a0 Did you want to improve your health?\u00a0 Doing it for the animals or another reason?\u00a0 Let me know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
