Hello Earthlings ;)

Hello everybody! I feel a bit late to the party, but better now than never right?

I am a female-ish college student who has been on-and-off vegetarian for years, but now with more independence (and frankly self-control) I’m trying to properly dive into ~veganism~ and finally be able to look at cows and pigs in the eye.

I see that there isn’t too much activity on here now, but I’m hoping to get some advice on transitioning during, y’know, the apocalypse.

Hey JoJo! You've come to the right place!
And you're making the right choice!

I think talking online with other vegans could be really helpful. And get your hands on hummus! That helped me a lot

I'll try to avoid emphasizing gender then. We don't always realize how that impacts others... Or do you mean something else? I believe vegans tend to be interested to become conscious about this too and adapt their choices :D

Hey Jojo !
Welcome to Vegan Bootcamp, we're here for you !!!

What's your biggest issue with transitioning ? Your weak spot ?
We all have one, rest assured that you won't be get shamed or blamed here !

My weak point is cheese and red wine ! Now that I found a great local community of Vegans where I live, I got many addresses for fantastic plant based cheeses and wines so I am perfectly at peace and to have to fight cravings or self control (unless we're talking about the weight gain coming with over indulging on cheese platters and 2 glasses of wine on Sunday evening Netflix sessions.)

Let us know specifics and will point you in the right direction to help you get all the ressources you need !

Xxx
