Transition to Vegan Andrew Gilbert

There is a feeling we are supposed to follow our natural path to combining plants and animals in our every day diet. I also tend to not refer to myself as a vegan. Although there is no other word to describe myself and this friends, makes it difficult in the real world to take away stigmas around the word. The word vegan leads to all sorts of assumptions that I will stamp out right now. Here are some of the words I have heard associated to being a vegan (language alert!!) Asshole!! That's it! Apparently when you become a vegan you are automatically an asshole. The simple truth is I find it easy to be a vegan without the stigma attached, it is essential to remove these kinds of thoughts from your mind, being vegan does not require you to be an up yourself asshole. It takes no willpower to eat different foods that make no change to the way you eat now. This is not a ram it down your throat book to convince someone to be vegan, that's your choice and I can only educate without all the graphic details you may have been expecting. If you wanted the graphic details to convince you to make the world a better place and not harm animals, this is not the book for you. I will however point out facts, numbers and details that are very pro vegan and easy to digest. If you don't want to see these, this is not the book for you. I don't use scare tactics to educate you why it's great to be a vegan. Nor do I ram a self centered attitude down your throat; in fact I'm the opposite of what you would expect from a vegan.
