The first time I ever met a vegan was around eight years ago and right from the get-go, I was fascinated. I peppered him with questions about what he ate, how he maintained energy and weight levels, as well as how it made him feel. Not only did he happily answer all my questions but I would posit that you’d be hard-pressed to find a more evangelistic vegan on the face of the planet!
His persuasive arguments never seemed to land, though. It wasn’t because he wasn’t giving good reasons for going vegan, not least the fact of caring for the planet and everything in it. I wasn’t convinced because I just couldn’t see myself getting out of my already very ingrained habits of eating.
