Guest guest Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Hello! 1/ What is your name (or what do you like to be called)? Jane 2/ How old are you (a rough idea will do)? 36 3/ Do you know many vegans in real life? A few, although most of my friends are vegetarian rather than vegan. My partner is nearly-vegan. 4/ How long have you been a vegan, and how long vegetarian before that? Vegan for 15 years, and was vegetarian for 7 years before that. 5/ Why did you become vegetarian/vegan (if you are neither it would be useful to explain why you joined this list)? I wanted to become vegetarian since being about 11, for animal welfare reasons. My mum wouldn't let me become vegetarian until I was 14, but by then she'd decided to turn vegetarian herself, which was great as I continued being cooked for! I became vegan when I was a student because I decided I was being hypocritical about animal welfare if I was only vegetarian. > === Questions about your area === 6/ Whereabouts do you live? Kings Heath, South Birmingham 7/ How good a place is it for vegans? Kings Heath itself is okay - there is an organic local produce type local restaurant called The Kitchen Garden Cafe that always has one vegan thing on its menu. Birmingha itself if very good - I'm a particular fan of Sibilas in the city centre. > === Questions for fun === 8/ Which is your favourite type of bean? Coffee beans 9/ What is your favourite country, or region, to visit? In Britain: the Cornwall or Devon Coast, Lindisfarne, Peak District, Orkney, Snowdonia Abroad: Prague 10/ What types of film do you like? Put on the spot, I'd have my top three as Withnail and I, It's a Wonderful Life and Hot Fuzz. I think. 11/ What was the last meal you ate? Pita bread an humous. On my own this evening, so can't be bothered cooking! 12/ Are you a morning, evening or night person? Evening. Definitely not morning > === Questions for dull administrative purposes === > 13/ How did you find out about this list? Searching . Jane.
