We asked Teen VGN members: What's the best thing about being Vegan?
Erin
"The best thing about being vegan is that I know that even if it's only a small one I'm making a difference towards stopping animal cruelty, because if the demand goes away so will the slaughter."
Hannah
"The best thing about being vegan is the rewarding feeling I get every time I go food shopping and the fact that I know that everything I put on and in my body saves the earth I live on and the animals I live with. I love answering people's questions and educating those around me on leading compassionate, kind and loving lives."
Jamie
"Just knowing that your life isn't affecting anyone or any living being on the planet. Just knowing that an animal didn't have to be killed or wired up to something just to feed me."
Karen
"I eat healthy for the right reasons. Not for being pretty and being as thin as the models and celebrities, I ended up eating healthy for ethical reasons that not only nourish my body but my soul, and just knowing that makes me feel even better."
Mary
"Going to sleep every night knowing that even if only by a fraction - I am making some sort of difference to someone's life. Knowing that the pain and suffering of sentient life is something I am no longer turning a blind eye to. I can finally say that I truly love animals. Because truly loving them is knowing that your taste buds are irrelevant when it comes to the life and death of another being. And that's what being vegan is all about."
Ryan
"The best thing about being vegan for me is knowing I’m helping animals, even in the slightest way, by not consuming any produce and bringing the demand for animal products down. How good I feel, health wise is another big benefit. More energy, happiness and all round positivity!"
