"It's better to have your head in the clouds and know where you are.. Than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think you're in paradise."

When I found Veganism I knew that it wasn't just some 'fad' lifestyle, it spoke to my core, and it was the truth I was seeking subconsciously my whole life. It's about living in peace with yourself but most importantly to everything your connected to; the birds, the trees, our rivers and lakes. This whole planet is being destroyed this very second, yet we are happy to support it with our dollar. The cute animals you see and love on Vine videos like baby piglets, kittens, llamas and baby goats even, are tortured into insanity behind closed doors, just so you can get your bacon, pets, fur blanket and Sunday roast. It's hard to watch but everyone needs to see Earthlings. I cried and cried and it hurt my very core to watch, but it was the wake up I needed. People think they're living in the reality, but until you stick your head above the clouds, your just another person abiding by government controlled standards (aka supporting intentional torture and murder towards innocents).
Whether your motive is weight loss, enhanced vitality or ethical eating, Veganism is gaining ground as the healthy and sustainable lifestyle that everyone has been looking for. Like with most trends that kick off, seeing the Celebrity world advocate something is a sign that it's gaining attention & popularity. From Jared Leto, Ariana Grande, Natalie Portman, Stella McCartney to Ellen DeGenres, new faces of Veganism are just what the movement needs.
However, unlike other fad diets & lifestyles, Veganism is actually sustainable because it is the way in which humans are designed to live. Ethics aside, it is important to look at the straight, cold, hard, scientific facts about human design. There is a reason that 65% or more of the world's population has problems with lactose, there's a reason why humans have developed heart disease and cancer and there is a reason why people turn to fruits & vegetables to detoxify their body. Simply because it's the way nature intended, humans are herbivores. Our body is literally designed to perfectly ingest and absorb plant nutrients. We don't have sharp, razor teeth to tear up raw animal meat, we don't have short intestinal tracks like actual carnivores and we don't have the proper enzymes and stomach acids to digest raw meat.
Going back to the quote above, I believe it demonstrates perfectly how it is better to know exactly who you are than to live life just following the crowd and letting them determine your beliefs. In this day and age, it so easy to go along with the common societal beliefs, but with information more available than ever, I feel as though this is unacceptable. People are using technology for amusement rather than as a digital library, and most importantly, not as a tool to which you can enhance and progress in self-development.
There is a certain euphoria when you realise you no longer contribute to the cruelty, to the unnecessary use of animals for meat. But what about your dollar supporting businesses that only have Vegan options and still support cruelty? It's a good question, considering it's impossible to only eat at Vegan only places in Sydney. However by supporting places with these options, they soon realise there is a greater demand for them and will continue to offer more plant based meals and realise the growing potential for making big dollars there, and thats what we need.
