Hi, My name is Jay.
I'm not yet Vegan. For years I've had this profound sense of guilt with my diet, basically eating what i want when i want, not giving more than a passing thought as to where the food i eating was sourced.
At this moment in time i am feeling sick, sick with the thought of consuming anything that has come from animals.
I watched a documentary called "Earthlings" today and it has completely thrown my life upside down... I always knew that meats and dairy were produced in ways that would be inhumane, but seeing it on the documentary has made something click inside me.
I spent the last 60 mins in tears watching it.. i'm a grown man sitting at home just weeping like a child. I have never seen something so profound in my life.
I finished the documentary and just sat there staring at the blank screen of my laptop for over 40mins in disbelief.
I decided in that instant that i could no longer eat meats, or dairy.. i just don't think i can do it. i went to my fridge and just stared in disgust and shame. I feel evil.
Emotional issues aside, i find myself in a position of not know what to do, i havent got the faintest idea of where to start at becoming vegan, i know no one who is vegan.
I'm going to be searching this forum for where to go next, but would very much appreciate some beginner advice.
Thanks for taking the time reading this.
