My name is Cassie. I'm 18 and A very lovable vegan. This blog is about everything and anything vegan, but mainly food. I'm not such a new vegan anymore, so I am a bit more experienced than I used to be, but I am not an expert and do make mistakes! At some point in my life I'm going to make as many things from scratch as i can. I'm cutting out palm oil from my diet, because it is an unnecessary ingredient that causes deforestation and takes orangutans habitats away, making me see it as an evil non-vegan product. I just found out about this production of this product, so I'm finishing up my vegan butter's (which contain palm oil) and then following a recipe to make a replacement.
What got me to go vegan? Well I have a number of reasons. So we will start from the beginning. I was a vegetarian for a year and a half before this happened. I started noticing that I was having chronic stomach pains and went through a trial and error process with certain foods that I ate daily. first thing i went 3 days without was bread or anything containing gluten. then I tried without soy. still felt the same. So then I went to dairy... OMG I made some progress, I felt a little better, but i still had a little more pain, so i tried no eggs, and had the same amount of pain as when didn't have any dairy. then i tried no eggs and no dairy... and the pain just disappeared. So due to my findings, I ended up forcing myself to watch earthlings (i still have not finished the last half hour, i'm a wimp i know) and bawled my eyes out, so I knew then i was going to be changing more than just my diet, but slowly grew into it. Then, I watched forks over knives. much better than earthlings, especially since it gave me a nutritional look of how to do this right. So my reasons are: Dairy and eggs = unbearable chronic stomach pain dairy = veal and rape eggs = chicken periods (gross) and all eggs go through the same cruel industry whether caged, free-range, or organic Meat, eggs, and dairy = environmental destruction and this one was with me when i was a vegetarian: MEAT IS MURDER!
I hope you like my blog, I'm hear to help anyone transitioning or just looking for vegan items. :) Have a good day.

I think… I just had a heart attack

So, me and my bf have been dating for almost 4 months, it will be 4 months on the second. we started dating the day after I started transitioning to a vegan. First, I finally get him to say he is going to go vegan for me :) yay. now, one of our biggest issues, His step-mom, is thinking about letting him stay the night for new years :) 

I’m excited. 

anyway, He is a sweetheart and respects me and my choice. All of my other bf’s didn’t even like me being vegetarian, and he doesn’t mind my veganism. that was a good hint that he was a good person to date right there. 

now, I’m not going to lie, he isn’t even a vegetarian, but whenever he is here he mainly eats my food. there was one time where he ate meat here just cuz i didnt have much and my mom brought home food. So me and him are planning on cutting out the products little by little when he moves in. I’m going to make a chart for him. so every week were taking something out, until it gets to him being a vegan. 

but still so so excited for him maybe being able to stay the night. (he is 18, but his step mom said about 3 weeks ago he can’t stay the night and live there too. he doesnt have a job though and my family is in a bit of a financial crisis right now and cant afford to have him here right now.) 

I know this turned into something that might not make sense… blame excitedness…
