I always claim that the younger a person is when they are able to stand up for something with their life and go vegan, the smarter that person is. Everyone is on their own journey. I got into raw foods when I was about 23, but I didn't consciously go vegan or even know what veganism was until I was 25. So I'm not that smart, just kidding, but some of these young children consciously deciding they don't need other animals to die for them to thrive always impresses me.
