What is or was you're motivation to stick to this lifestyle?!
Answers:
I have been a vegan for almost 16 years, and I will continue being vegan for the rest of my life!. My motivation is that by being vegan, I know I am doing my very best not to cause any harm to any living being within reason!. I see the videos of cows and pigs being slaughtered,rabbits being tested on and skinned alive, elephants imprisoned in zoos, and I am usually in tears, but I am glad to know that nothing I do causes that, and I never want to be a part of that!.

For me, it's a who!.
My mother is not in the best health!. She had a heart attack a few years back and did nothing to become healthier (by losing weight and eating right)!. Now she's diabetic!. She takes a host of pills every day and I think that both issues could have easily been avoided had she been motivated enough to take care of herself!.
A lot of crippling health problems run on both sides of my family and I want to make it to see age 65!. That's my primary motivation - I don't want to be what my mom is!.
The secondary reason to hang in there with the veganism is that I don't cause as much pain and suffering in the animal world!. It's sick and sad what happens to the cows, pigs, chickens, lambs, fish/seafood, etc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

the fact that an innocent animal does not need to die in order to put a slab of meat on a person's plate!.!.the fact that if i did eat meat i would be the big hypocrite i was before, as in saying that i loved animals when i was stuffing them down my gullet every meal!.!.

was a veggie for most of my life!. started getting interested when i was real young and carried it forward when i was a teenager!. partly cos i didnt like the taste of most meat but mainly i didnt agree with the killing of animals!. unfortunatley ive let it slip more recently!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
What got me interested in veganism was learning about the damage the meat industry inflicts upon our planet!. Then I learned about the cruelty to animals and that's what made me go vegan!. There is NO WAY I can justify murder and pollution just for my taste buds!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
