When I was 6 I learned that the animals I saw outside, were the same thing I was eating. It was at Thanksgiving dinner and my grandfather was talking about how the turkeys were running around before they chopped their heads off. And I was like "I'm done"... ironically I was born on "Good Friday". I've also been lactose intolerant since day 1. It's like my body/soul just knew. So I've been vegetarian for 14 years and I've decided to go vegan this year :)
