Btw, you are vegan, right?
It is amazing to say that over 1/20 of the population (6%) is vegan. I do feel comfortable with this statistic due to many reasons:
- Most vegans stay vegan. Especially Long-term vegans.
- All of the non-vegans are dying of heart disease. Sadly.
- The number of people that I hear of switching to a vegan diet is absolutely increasing every month. I have started to take a tally count!
- The demand for vegan products in grocery stores has absolutely skyrocketed in the last few years...and even in the last year! I see the “vegan area” of common grocery stores (like ones that I used to visit more frequently) growing larger in size over time.
- Many documentaries have come out within the last few years on this subject alone.
People are sick of being sick. They’re sick of being scammed by the meat and protein industry. And most of all, they see that vegan people are good people enjoying their life... and this is a HUGE influential factor when an emotional meat eater reflects on the complications on their life and how they instinctually know that there’s a better way.
Thank you for commenting; you have inspired me :)
No, I'm not vegan. But I think the growing trend of veganism is great. I'm mostly vegetarian, and I explain more here in this post I wrote about meat. It does focus more on eating meat than veganism. But there's a lot of useful info in there for vegans too. I'm curious to know what you think.

I have a bunch of vegan recipes and health info in my previous posts.
I wish I had more time to give you some input on your post. I'll comment over there. Thank you!
And heya, drop the dairy items from your diet! I know a few vegetarians (strictly no animal flesh or eggs) -- they have also switched to a vegan diet, and they feel a huge change just from dropping dairy.
