Hope you enjoy the content and find it valuable. I eat a vegan diet and use this platform to share what I’ve learned on veganism, sustainability, and health as a way to give back without being pushy. I didn’t turn to a vegan diet for animal rights or environmental conservation, but now I see both as important issues. And I sincerely believe that the more of us understand the same, the better the world will be. At least that’s the idea. Thanks for stopping by. – RL
