Deciding become Vegan

 Watching the documentary 'seaspiracy' on Netflix  made me choke up tears and evoked a lot of shame.

How dare I cry at these recorded in-humane acts, if I were apart of the cause? Yes I may not be harpooning beautiful whales, or be on a big boat scrapping the oceans core to emptiness- I didn't even consume fish other than the rare tuna sandwich, but I ate meat. I used product's that contained fish (lipsticks). And disgusting, I had no idea my money taxed  funded these human disgraceful acts.

I could no longer eat a chicken sandwich, pretending it was just food to keep things "normal", I had to accept the involuntary disgust for anything that reminded me it once was a living creature, and stop consuming the food. I stopped eating all meat instantly. I stopped drinking dairy, or at least began trying to avoid it. Soya milk instead of cows milk. Vegan chocolate only. annualizing every crisp packet to see if it had 'milk powder'.

Its still a learning curve today. Its been 6 months roughly, but iv had some truly amazing dishes. And trying to become more eco friendly and sustainable in a world full of cheap and easy quick at the expense of the planets health, is even harder, but were planning, taking steps that are small but doable & affordable to reach our goal. little stepping stones, and more learning curves.

So far Iv began trying to grow fruit plants, herbs. Take in more nature for mental health befits and reconnect. Iv built a fish pond filled with aquatic plants that insects love. Iv build two insect hotels from old wine boxes. And I'm taking my time to research and learn, roadbooks and all sorts on more sustainable steps and ways to help our ecosystem.
