Young vegan from Sheffield!

Post by bass_boot »

Hi everyone!

I went vegetarian around March of 2020 and became vegan in May of 2020. Since then, I have become passionate about activism and I hope to learn some new approaches and methods on here!

Through watching people like earthling ed and joey carbstrong, I realised that my actions (eating animal products) didn't align with my beliefs/morals (animal cruelty is wrong). How about you?

I read the book Fast Food Nation for a summer assignment when I was 12 which opened my mind to veganism, then about a year later I found TheVeganAtheist on youtube (who was the previous owner of this forum), and I watched his vegan stuff, which then led me to seeing Earthlings and reading up on Singer.

That's some quick progression. Welcome to our forum!
How to become vegan in 4.5 hours:
1.Watch Forks over Knives (Health)
2.Watch Cowspiracy (Environment)
3. Watch Earthlings (Ethics)
Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.

Welcome bass_boot, I hope you like it here. It's pretty quiet over the holiday, but please don't hesitate to jump into any old discussions or start a new one, people will see it when they log on after Xmas (and a few of us are still checking in when we can).

Hi Bass Boot, I hope you are doing well. Good for you on the progression you made. I lived in Sheffield for 5 years, it was my University city, what part of Sheffield are you from and do you live in?
