    Aedreana here, brand-new to MFP. I am a strict vegan because I oppose the murder of animals for any reason. I love creatures that most people call "vermin"-- in fact, I rescue insects that are in peril, and get them safely out of harm's way. My most hated enemies are those so-called "animal rights"'organizations which euthanize animals. So I am a radical vegan! I am not interested in debating opposing points-of-view, but please feel free to contact me if you are like-minded.

    I've been vegetarian since february 2013 and vegan september 2013; i went raw in november! I'm mostly raw 90/5/5 and it is the best! Although I've only been vegan a short time, I've always loved animals and wanted to stop eating them and I wasn't able to till recently
    no eating any animals of any kind nor their products (dairy, eggs, honey) and i do not wear clothing made from animals and i try to stay away from products tested on animals (i don't wear any makeup and my dad makes me vegan lotion or i just use coconut oil)
    I'm trying to live as natural of a life as i can in this modern era (:
    I hate killing any animals - even bugs. I find bugs rather fascinating unless they're flying around my face! I don't like flies or ants but I try not to kill them :o my cat is my best friend; i rescued her when she was a couple weeks old and fed her formula milk and raised her. she is my baby (: i love all animals and it makes me so sad to see them harmed and see slabs of meat served up on platters and it is really so disgusting to me T.T

    Hi, I'm a vegan-ish vegetarian. I eat a whole-foods, plant-based diet that's pretty much 95% vegan, and that last 5% is just from when I go out to eat every once in a while and a non-vegan ingredient or two slips in there. I mostly cook all my own food and eat an 80/10/10 diet (80% carbs, 10% fat, 10% protein). I'm a big fan of Dr. Essylstein, Fuhrman, and T. Colin Campbell.

    Looking for more friends to share my progress with! And I'm no food nazi, even if you're not vegetarian I'd like to see more health conscious people in my feed.

    Thanks!

    Vegan Essentials www.veganessentials.com, and Pangea www.veganstore.com are two reputable online sources for vegan products. Everything they sell-- cosmetics, hair/skin/dental care, household cleaners, food, etc., EVERYTHING is 100% vegan. I have purchased from both companies for many years!

    Hello everyone!!!

    I'm so glad to have finally found a vegan group on here! I haven't found a way to search for groups for some reason...

    Anyway, I've been a vegan for about 5 months now. (I forget the actual start date, I'm terrible :neutral_face: ) I was a vegetarian for about 4 years before this, with SAD in between.

    I'm trying to transition into a HCLF vegan lifestyle, but it's difficult being as I live with my meat and potatoes husband and a 5 year old who isn't ready to transition. I don't give my 8 month old a choice yet ;)

    I'm DESPERATELY in search of a motivational buddy. I don't need motivation to stay a vegan, but to transition into HCLF. I keep having bad days where I just eat all the processed vegan foods I can find, but then I'll have a great day and have 15 bananas, berries and potatoes out the wazoo!

    Nice to meet you all!
