How do you stay motivated to eat and live the lifestyle?

What keeps me motivated to eat and live the lifestyle is knowing that it is the best decision for my body and health, the planet and environment and of course our fellow earthlings and the animals. Switching to a plant-based diet and a vegan lifestyle may seem difficult at first, as with most life changing decisions, but once you start and you see how amazing you feel and how many delicious food options you really have, especially nowadays, there is no reason to ever go back.

Were you inspired by someone, or something, in particular?

I decided to go veg when I was a kid, about 10 years old. I saw a flyer with information about the meat industry, looked at my dog who was my best friend, and something just clicked. It would have broken my heart if someone would harm my dog, so can I justify causing pain to another living creature? I could not and became vegetarian on the spot. Veganism came a few years after that once I was exposed to more information.

How do you think the vegan uprise will change the planet?

It is not a secret that the animal agriculture industry is one of the main causes for global warming, environmental destruction and is the main cause for tropical deforestation and aquatic pollution. We must change our consumption habits if we want to see a bright future for our planet - choosing a plant-based diet is one of the most passive ways to make a positive change.

What is your favorite dish to prepare when you are at home relaxing? Wine?

When relaxing at home, I am a big tea drinker, and it usually goes well with my specialty - almond butter and jelly sandwiches.
