Introducing myself

Robert_L_Clark

I have been vegan for over 3 years (with my wife). We don’t find it particularly arduous and most people happily accept it and we have little problem shopping or eating out vegan (in the U.K. - travelling abroad is another experience!). I don’t particularly like saying I’m ‘Vegan’ as it labels us and is a bit like ‘Vulcan’ from Star Trek - I just want it to be viewed as a normal lifestyle (if I mention it, people think I’m trying to covert them!). I am interested in other people’s experiences, especially with regard to fitness training. I exercise every day (cycling, running) plus yoga. I’m 63 (on the outside). Our main motivation was health and environment, although I am becoming more aware the animal welfare side (I used to think milk came from cows by milkmaids sitting on stools in grassy fields).
