Digging into a Pizza in Pizzo (Italy)

I’ve been a vegetarian since 1987, and a vegan since the year 2000. Committing to a vegan diet and lifestyle has been one of the most meaningful decisions I’ve ever made – it allows me to live in harmony with my values of non-harming and respect for life. I committed to veganism after learning about the treatment of animals in the dairy and egg industries, so my motivation had to do with the ethics and respect for all living creatures. To my surprise, following a vegan diet has also led me to think more carefully about healthy food choices, helped me to reduce my impact on the environment, vastly broadened my food horizons, and connected me to a global community of thoughtful, compassionate, and creative vegan friends.
