Why did we do it?

Since we became vegans we have frequently gotten the following questions "Why did you do this?", and "Are you going to be this way forever?"

Let me address the first question "Why did you do this?"
We felt that God called us to change the way we were living and eating. As I mentioned earlier I was ready to give up eating meat well over a year ago but my husband did not have the same convictions, or at least had been fighting them. I remember eating a leg of lamb at one of our favorite restaurants "Alligator Soul" on Valentines day, getting grossed out and thinking that would be one of the last times I would eat meat. It did end up that way, as that very next weekend after my husband had been praying felt that the Lord was asking him to become vegan. Not to mention that at this very same time the slaughter factories in California were getting huge publicity on their "downer cows" cruelty. I would by lying if I said that this was not a reason for the change. So in essence our change was due to God's calling-and-to animal cruelty in the commercial meat industry.

The second question: "Are you going to be this way forever?"
Possibly. The thought of eating any sort of animal product and having it sitting in my stomach right at this moment makes me feel a little uneasy. We would start eating meat again if God called us to do it. That is the plain and simple answer.
