    Process of Going Vegan

  • I'm thinking about going vegan!

    I am seriously considering going vegan. While I think it should be a decision that mostly I alone make, I am going to talk to my Mom about it, including her in my decision, because she is the one who grocery shops and makes dinner for me. "There are many situations in which individual decision making is appropriate and/or necessary. However, if possible, it’s important to consider both options and make an informed choice" (Making Healthy Choices, 5).
  • I decided to go Vegan!!!!

    I made the decision to go vegan today! It wasn't a very difficult decision for me to make but it was an emotional one. And although "research shows that the brain is not as developed during the teenage years as it is in adulthood" (Making Healthy Decisions, 6), I think I made the right decision.
  • What I could have done...

    I easily could have included my family and friends in on this decision to help me. But if I would have done that, I most likely would not have gone vegan. I alone am responsible for this decision which makes me feel better about it. "Individual decisions can be good because individuals do not escape responsibilities. They are accountable for their acts and performance. While in a group, it is not easy to hold any one person accountable for a wrong decision" (Making Healthy Choices, 6).
