Key Takeaways

Agriculture, especially animal farming and food production, takes a lot of the resources like energy and gas.

The fewer spaces for farms intended for animal production, the more spaces we could have for trees and places where people could stay and live.

You’ve been fed food authorities recommended that might not be best for you.

You should take a step back and assess the food recommended by the authorities that you consume.

When you start eating vegan, you become more conscious and thoughtful of your food choices.

Many people have the stereotype that vegans are smug or arrogant. Vegans are perceived to be like this because they don’t want animals to suffer in the animal slaughter system.

When you want to start your vegan diet:

Go slow and start small.

Consult with your doctor if going vegan is right for you.

Be aware of how much you’re eating and the quality of your food.

Consider having a food diary on what you ate and what you felt after you ate them.

Quotes

“We’ve been fed a steady diet of what we should eat that may or may not be the best for us.” - Izolda [9:37]

“We can be very mindful and very purposeful with our choices if you really keep in mind why you’re becoming vegan.” - Izolda [27:32]
