Ryan MacMichael of The Veg Blog makes a strong statement with his answer to the first question thrown at him in our interview for this Paw-Talk post. "If you love 'em, don't eat 'em." The 34-year old Virginian vegan goes on to mention other reasons why it's important to be veg: health, environment, and ethics. But is it possible to listen to a blogger who didn't even turn vegan until his 29th birthday?
Some perhaps might argue that Ryan turned vegan too late, while others might say he is probably more knowledgeable then those who dove in, head first. After all, slow and steady wins the race.
Ryan has most likely heard every excuse about why one shouldn't become a vegetarian or vegan, and he's certainly made up a few himself. In any case, he handles it all with one cool statement: "If you come in with an open mind, ready to try new foods, you'll be fine."
Learn how Ryan treks along on a mission to promote his vegan diet and battles vegetarian stereotypes along the way.
(Upon reading this, Ryan would cry, "I'm a vegan action hero!") ;-)
