Hello!

[bananananaslug]

Hi everyone, nice to meet you all!

I became plant-based mainly because of ethical arguments for the animals. I've been vegetarian for over 5 years and have been transitioning towards full (ostro)veganism over the last few months. 

I'm extraordinarily quiet and shy IRL but would like to work towards being more of an advocate. I figured online forums would be a good place to start discussing veganism!  I'm interested in learning more, particularly the philosophical/ethical arguments, effective altruism, and optimizing nutrition. I also recently started working on a cookbook that highlights vegan foods that have interesting histories or nutritional profiles (it's more of an art project/coffee table book than a traditional cookbook).

Hello bananslug welcome to the forum!
Let us know if you have any questions in your vegan journey. Oh yeah, and I also wanna see your cookbook when it's done.

Also, about activism; sometimes, you don't have to be public and well-known to make a difference.

Welcome bananananaslug, glad to have you here. I hope you like the forum. Your cook book project sounds pretty cool, you're welcome to share it when you're ready.
