Review of Create Your Own at SaladStop! by katherinegloria

I’m curious to know if any of you guys have watched any vegan documentaries. Some of my favourites are :
- Dominion
- Earthlings
- Cowspiracy
- Lucent
- What The Health
- Blackfish

I had initially went vegetarian 7 years ago simply because i have never liked the taste of meat since young. As opposed to any other young kids who would leave out their vegetables on the plate during meals, I would eat all the vegetables and leave out the meat.

My parents assumed i was weird & thought i would grow out of it. To encourage me to eat meat, my mum would frequently bring me to KFC to have some popcorn chicken since it was a more “fun” way of eating them. But i’ll be like “No, i want the coleslaw.” 😂 I was mad though, that i thought humans HAD TO eat meat to survive. I never knew vegetarianism or veganism existed back then.

As soon as i have heard of the term “vegetarian” when i was 12, i immediately went vegetarian and never looked back. My parents freaked out like i became a drug dealer or something. 2 years later i started learning about the ethical side of things, animal agriculture / factory farming etc. and converted to veganism. It was the best lifestyle i could ensue to fit my morals. & i am happier and healthier than ever right now at the age of 19.

But moreover, i am disappointed that we humans have been mislead to think that animal nutrients are much more superior than plants. Not even to mention the false government nutritional guidelines that “promotes good health”. Because we need protein, not meat. We need calcium, not milk. We need omegas, not fish. To all of which can be found in a plant-based diet.

I can only hope the plant-based movement continues to grow like how much it did in 2019.

Veganism is the future.
