Intro to My Blog!

Hello everyone! This semester, I will be covering the plant-based scene in Charlotte. If you’re confused on what “plant-based” is, it is essentially a vegan diet and lifestyle. Now that I have said the word vegan, you’re probably turned off from reading any further, but hear me out. The reason that I wanted to choose this topic as my semester-long project is because…

1- I want to show others that being plant-based doesn’t mean strictly eating leaves and grass. You can still enjoy all of your favorite foods, just without animal products in them.

2- I myself am a plant-based eater, and I knew this would be a topic I would want to really delve deeper into these next few months.

Throughout my blog, I want to explore different vegan places around Charlotte, including restaurants, activist groups, and clubs. I also want to break down any pre-conceived ideas you might have about eating plant-based. I have been eating vegan for almost 2 years now, and am passionate about sharing (not forcing) the ins and outs of a plant-based lifestyle with others.

Some blogs similar mine are keepinitkind.com, which focuses on easy and delicious vegan food, as well as charlotteagenda.com. Charlotte Agenda is a very well-known blog that talks about anything regarding Charlotte, from food to fashion to different activities going on. I intend on combining these two styles of blogs and create something similar.
