I know lots of you folks have the exact day you went veg stored in your memories. I have a month/year only, alas. November is my anniversary month (1980) i'll celebrate by going to the Watercourse in Denver, all veg/vegan restaurant and bakery sometime in the month. How about you?
26th June 2003 I like to be able to remember and commemorate life events with accuracy. Not sure if I'll really celebrate or anything though.
12th November 2003. That makes 2 years in a few weeks' time. I guess I won't celebrate or anything, just acknowledge (sp?) it, because it feels so natural for me now and I can't imagine changing back to meat.
November 2004.... I don't remember the exact date, but I remember why and how. I wanted to go vegan for a long time, and kept failing miserably at it, once I started finding things around my area that catered to vegans it was easier, not to mention after I researched it more thoroughly. That's about all I remember. My memory is shot.
i think that was my date as well...could have been august or july tho....i never did make a note of it. sometime around then anyway!
Happy Vegiversary to Apples+ and Rain in summer (and me!) The painful part for me is John Lennon died soon after. Maybe that is why I remember.
Yes, I was. I guess that is part of the reason why I cannot even imagine meat as being a food source, to me eating meat is akin to eating people. Of course, my background is only a part of it... my brother grew up in the same place and he eats meat often.
