I never thought I’d go vegan. Seriously!

NEVER.

Yet here I am. Vegan since 25 months. And you know what?

The way I feel about it right now, there’s no way in hell I’ll ever go back to eating animal products, unless I find myself in a catastrophe zone with zero other options!

So how did I do it?

Well. I didn’t, not really. It just kinda happened? :)

In my early 20s my partner wanted to go vegan. Naturally I refused. I mean, why would anyone stop eating cheese and eggs? That’s just plain stupid, c’mon!

I kinda got the “let’s stop eating meat” part, as I’d actually spent one year during high-school as a vegetarian. But egg and milk? NOPE.

In hindsight, I think I felt kinda scared about loosing my many crutches in life. Those golden nuggets of pleasure that I had become so incredible reliant upon.

I loved cinnamon buns more than anyone I had ever met before.

I looved doughnuts filled with apple cream!

I loooved milk-chocolate in all it’s forms!
