Video transcript

My story begins at birth. This is my story about Veganism. I did not choose to become a Vegan, I was simply born into a family that was. The reason my parents and I are Vegan is because we believe in reincarnation which means living as a human or animal after death. Being Vegan can be quite hard, choosing the right meals, trying to get as much B12 as possible without eating dairy, just wishing sometimes , "Oh if only they hadn’t included milk in it!" Going round supermarkets being a "meat eater" is easy - you just have to worry about the price and you can pick stuff off the shelves. Being a Vegan, you have to check the ingredients, the price and also marvel at it if it isn't Vegan but looks SO nice. There have been times when I have wished I wasn't Vegan, and times when I have been asked to eat meat and dairy. I remember one day at school we were told to write an "I have a dream" speech in the style of Martin Luther King and I wrote about my wish for one day the whole world to be Vegan. I have been Vegan since birth and I have every intention of always being Vegan.
