Is ‘going vegan’ safe?

1150:

Assuming you’re not put off by vegans, and you’re maybe considering veganism, it’s likely you’ll want to prioritise the main pros and cons. If you’re at all tentative about switching camps, you’ll want to know it’s you making up your own mind. No one else is doing it for you.

If you’re considering such a big change to your life, you first need to know the changes will be safe, healthwise. And that brings us back to you  having confidence in eating (every day) plant based foods and feeling they’re efficacious. That means you swamp any doubts that arise when we become inconvenienced. |And a vegan life can be inconvenient.

If you do get to feel safe about going vegan then there’s a deeper level of consciousness available, beyond the importance of health and nutrition. The ethical dimension to this ‘move’ is at least as interesting as the food we’ll be eating. It deals with the place veganism has in a broader level of allied consciousness. It touches non-violence, and environmental sensitivities, it addresses the question of world hunger, it affects so many things, including ones approach to a subject.

How we get to talk about all this is both tricky and significant. The best way to pass over information and make it stick is not by telling people what we think is important, it is to get them to ask us about what they want to know, And then, I’d rather have you dragging information out of me than me foisting it onto you.
