    Smile hello *waves*

    Hi everyone

    Thanks for letting me join your little plant-based knook here. I've been vegan since last October but I still haven't got fully used to it yet. I'm still making mistakes all over the place. I decided to make the switch after I learnt the truth about factory farming and how eating meat contributes to terrible starvation in third world countries. I also care deeply about the environment so that's another reason too.

    That's about all I can think of to say at the moment. See you around

    Thumbs up

    hi coconut, and welcome.

    congrats on going vegan. we have long-term vegans and newbies here so i'm sure you'll get loads of good advice and help.

    dont beat yourself up too much about making mistakes, the most important thing is to learn from them and move on - im not sure any of us here can say we've never tripped up unknowingly or even knowingly!

    good to 'see' you here

    Welcome coconut,

    I agree with cedar-we've all made mistakes and probably will always make mistakes. There is no such thing as a perfect vegan. Just keep learning and doing your best.

    Enjoy

    Hi coconut, 'waves' back

    I'm a newbie vegan and new to the board. I've found it is such a wealth of information and everyone's so friendly. Oh, and everyone makes mistakes. Hope you enjoy it here.

    I waved back at you, first with one hand, then both, then stupidly added a foot and fell over.

    I love coconut!!!
    So do I. I chose one of the world's most useful plants for my screen name. I could have chosen to call myself Hemp but I didn't want to give people the wrong idea about me
