Have you ever wondered why some people deviate from the diet we've all been taught since childhood? It all comes down to self-introspection.
Self-introspection, often referred to as self-reflection, is the process of examining one's own thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It involves deep self-examination and a conscious effort to gain insight into one's motivations, beliefs, and actions. It is well-studied and proven that self-introspection helps with:
If we stop to think about the things we do just because we were taught that way, we can discover parts of ourselves that may surprise us.
So, I'll ask you another question to make you think about yourself, why do you eat meat? Since we were children, we've been given products that come from animals, but have you really asked yourself why? Have you asked yourself the consequences that this industry has?
Today, on November 1st, for World Vegan Day, we will answer these questions.
In the past, it was necessary to eat what was available at the time. Over time and with the evolution of the human species, we were led to believe that this is the correct and normal thing to do. Capitalism and speciesism have made us believe that we are not a part of this industry that is gradually destroying our world.

If you want to support this cause to respect the world in which you live, every little decision matters.
The seemingly harmless act that we all do of buying a steak has created this industry that will never stop if it continues to have customers, every unit of it purchased is more money and incentive for the company to continue producing, and the same market where you buy will continue to get these products.
In conclusion, our daily choices impact our health, the welfare of animals, and the environment. On World Vegan Day, we're reminded of our power to make compassionate and sustainable choices. Let's embrace change, question norms, and work together to create a healthier, kinder world for all.
The choices we make today can define the world we'll live in tomorrow.
