​

I have contributed this group of animal buttons because a year or so ago I decided to become a vegetarian.

​

I’ve always loved animals and I decided that I no longer wanted to eat them! Becoming a vegetarian worked out well, it was easy and I felt better for it. So, after a few months, I became a vegan. I don’t eat any food that contains animal products.

Shopping and cooking vegan dishes is not difficult.

I sometimes encounter problems when I eat out, though.

​

 Some restaurants can be less than helpful if you ask for a vegan dish. The staff seem to understand about vegetarian food but they are a long way off from providing a good selection of vegan dishes on their menus.

​

This is a shame because more and more people are choosing to become vegans!
