For almost a year I've devoted my life to not eating meat, and for almost 2 months I've devoted it to not consuming or supporting animal products at all. I made this decision solely upon me and with VERY little influence. And the influence that I did get didn't come from the whole "everyone else is doing it".
I'm bothered by the fact that because I'm vegan, I'm apparently "following a trend".
My response: TREND SHMEND.
Lets get a couple of things straight.
-I'm vegan because of me. I'm vegan for the animals. I'm vegan for a better life style. <--- Do you see "trend" anywhere in that?
-If I was doing it for this so called "trend" I wouldn't put as much money, energy, or passion that I do. I have pride for being vegan, and I'm never scared to argue my morals with someone.
Should I care what people think about my veganism? No, I shouldn't. But I do.
I care because vegan isn't just a word, its not just the way I eat, or what I don't eat. Its a life style, its MY life style. Hell, its my life. I love being vegan.
Veganism has given me a better outlook on life. I would never go back to eating meat.
But even IF veganism/vegetarianism is a trend it doesn't matter much to me. The more vegans, the better.
