Yes it was my choice prompted by feeling gross and bloaty from eating cheese/eggs.

I was vegetarian at the time... and even though I was really, really physically active, I found I was putting on kilograms... I had already quit alcohol so my forming 'beer belly' was alarming. Eventually I said 'fuck it' and went vegan. And now even with less physical activity than before I have no problem good body weight. So the decision was somewhat of a health issue but also underlying that I had a real issue with the whole using of animals for our own benefit.

Two documentaries(among many others) that had a big impact on my views are Earthlings and (not really a documentary) and Gary Yourofsky's The Best Speech You'll Ever Hear. There are many vegans who have gone vegan overnight after watching either one of these. For others like me they planted seeds that took a while to grow because for some that's the way that change happens. Anyways thanks for the series on vegan restaurants! I always love to check out vegan places whenever I can and always love to see the cool vegan dishes that people come up with from around the world! When people laugh at vegans eating rabbit food it's like yeah right 😂 It's 2017 people!!
