I made the switch to Vegetarianism so easily, I don't know why veganism is so hard to me. I think the chocolate gets me, even though due to gelatine and other forbidden ingredients I've cut down drastically on most chocolates.
My 2010 new years resolution was to go vegetarian, and I stuck with that. So my 2011 resolution will be to go vegan. This year was my first resolution and I didn't break it, so I'll be taking next year just as seriously.
I think the problem here is that I need to learn to cut down slowly instead of quitting cold turkey. No pun intended.

'A new report by New York-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) claims eyewitness
accounts confirm that Chinese security forces used disproportionate force and
acted with deliberate brutality during and after the Tibetan protests of 2008.
HRW say that many violations continue, including disappearances, wrongful
convictions and imprisonment, persecution of families, and the targeting of
Tibetans suspected of sympathising with the protest movement. The 73-page
report, "I Saw It with My Own Eyes': Abuses by Security Forces in Tibet,
2008-2010", is based on more than 200 interviews with Tibetan eyewitness
conducted outside China, as well as some official Chinese sources'.

I am easing myself into veganism ,i have reading packages so see what is okay to eat plaining next week grocery shop like a battle plain what semi alien food to buy, having a dairy intolerance means i am familiar with vegan cheese etc so no breaking me in on that point
i hoping that the vegan bacon on the market will not repeat like smoky bacon have crisps , i have to say that not eating animals does not make one queasy when you consume them you know that a carrot etc is not a living thing and you will not find evidence that they walk the earth ,inside it ,
to find tubing from i know no in side a chicken is not a great intro in to one meal

Janet Taylor is celebrating her 70th birthday but could pass for mid-50s. Maybe lugging hefty hay bales keeps her looking young and slim or maybe her compassionate heart is her secret to vitality?
Twenty two years ago when she was a feisty, investigative journalist, Janet uncovered a scandal that turned her life upside down. She followed lorries across Europe carrying animals for export to North Africa for slaughter. She witnessed shocking cruelties that broke every rule in the book and the newspaper expose forced the House of Commons to bring in an overnight ban on live export.
Not long after that disturbing revelation, she visited a livestock market and was horrified by the appalling handling of animals. She convinced her editor to do a report on the mistreatment of farm animals in markets.

Growing up with intense emotions, an affinity with animals and fire in her belly to right wrongs, Juliet Gellatley is a natural campaigner. She was the kind of child who rescued stray dogs and pregnant cats.
However, being raised in a meat-eating home, like most of us, she didn’t make the connection between her love of pets and the food on her plate.
But all that changed when, as an impressionable teenager, she came across an Anti-Factory Farming leaflet. Enraged by the cruelty it exposed, she challenged adults who rebuffed her with the question: “Do you eat meat?” When she said “Yes”, they retorted: “Well don’t lecture me about the horrors of factory farming.” It was a revelation and a turning point.

The strong case for “going veggie” rests on four key reasons: saving animals, saving yourself, saving others and saving the planet!
The moral decision to stop eating animals is based on the refusal to participate in the suffering and killing of animals for food. This argument gathers potency when you are confronted with the horrifying facts about 21st century factory farming.
The volume of animals slaughtered for food has escalated over the last 30 years with the rampant proliferation of fast food outlets that tantalise the insatiable human appetite for animal flesh.
