Introduction

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone! I joined this group about a month ago but I've been

really busy and I've just had time to post. I am a first year

medical student (going into my second year in September) in Toronto,

Canada who happens to be vegetarian. I'm trying to make the

transition to veganism and I've been met with much disapproval from

my fellow students.

 

Back in March when I mentioned to my professor that I was vegetarian

he said I was making a good choice just as long as I ate milk and

eggs. I have one primary reason for not eating animals and it is

highly spirtual; I believe in Karma and I also believe that when you

eat animals, you consume all the emotions they endured before they

were slaughtered. You take their sadness, their anger, their pain

and make it a part of you. The animal rights, environmental, etc,.

reasons are good too, however. I think there are all kinds of good

reasons to become vegan.

 

Nevertheless, I found this group and it looks highly supportive of

each other, which is exactly what I need so that I can make the

transition to veganism as smooth as possible.

 

I hope to post more in the near future. In the meantime, thanks for

reading this and I hope to have many fruitful conversations with you

all.
