Hi Riss Irwin for PETA. I�ve been vegan for about a year and a half. The first thing
that happened when I made the switch was I lost a lot of weight. I just felt lighter,
I felt healthier, I felt better. There are so many benefits to not eating meat you know,
globally and personally. We are not toxifying ourselves, we are not toxifying the environment.
One thing that is so incredible is the fact that we drink the milk of another animal and
that is so bad for us that it really causes cancer and that people do not really know
that. I think it is really important that when people believe in something like this
they try to spread the word. It is important that people try to rescue animals. Rocky I
got him at a shelter and it was literally like a week later that I went Vegan. There
were two movies that I saw that really inspired me. One was Forks Over Knives and the other
was Earthlings. And they both really did two very different things. Forks Over Knives made
me realize on a really bottom line level that meat and dairy cause cancer, cause heart disease.
Period. As far as Earthlings is concerned, how horrible animals are being treated on
a massive scale and that made me not want to have any part of that. When you are able
to change your belief system, change your perspective on something like that um it changes
your life and I think if enough people change their perspective then there is a lot of good
that can be done.
