In reply to Katherine. No living things. Some vegans don't wear leather or use products like honey or silk.

Does Vegan mean you don’t eat anything with eyes nor dairy?

Great read. I am vegan. I made the decision over 5 years ago because I was on medication for hight blood pressure (which I didn’t have in the first place). I was told I was pre-hypertensive and should get on the meds without any consideration for alternative treatment. I also developed asthma in my early 40s. That was when I decided to make the change. After 7 days of no animal products and processed foods, my sinuses cleared up. I was sold. Three months later, I was cleared of taking medications.
There are times when I go for a meat product. When that happens, my body suffers. I support the original diet from Genesis 1:29. I know teach plant-based nutrition and love what I do.

I really needed this article. I have been contemplating becoming a vegan for quite some time now. Meat literally makes me sick. I noticed that after I ate it I would have gas and have this ill feeling. Thank you for sharing your journey. I am going to make the change along with my best friend.
