63 years without meat or fish

Do you not eat meat or fish? But what do you eat then? I am asked this question very often. I am 69 now, and I have been a committed vegetarian since I was six, and a vegan for the last 10 years. "Isn't that difficult?" That is also often asked, but if it is your conviction, then it is not difficult at all.

All vegetables, fruits, nuts, herbs, and seeds are vegan, and just look at the incredibly wide range we can choose from.

For many vegans I know, food actually receives a great deal of attention. The cooking is usually flavorful and varied. But for vegans, it goes much further than food; it also concerns clothing and home furnishings, all of which must be free from animal materials or animal suffering.

Through our new platform, vegans can connect with each other to exchange experiences, learn from one another, stay with each other, or swap homes.
