My passionate love and care for the environment and animals gives me the satisfaction that I am helping the planet and its inhabitants. It also gives me the opportunity to experiment with vegan alternatives to eggs, such as chickpea brine. From these vegan culinary experiments, I learn more about baking, and what makes baked goods rise and stay moist. It would not be an exaggeration to say that being a vegan makes me more empathic because it constantly reminds of the harsh cruelty animals face every day. Being a vegan means that I acknowledge that animal cruelty exists and that I want to end it. There is a joke that says “An Atheist, a Vegan and cross fitter walk into a bar….. I only know because they told everyone within two minutes.” I can confirm that veganism such a huge part of my identity that it's one of the first things I mention about myself when I introduce myself to people. It usually helps spark up conversations that often lead to arguments about, animal cruelty, and the meat and dairy industry. I like to argue so, I think that being a vegan allows me to have interesting arguments and conversations with people that I would never have if I weren't a vegan. But being a vegan comes with negative consequences as well. For one thing, I try not to go to food-related events because I hate having to ask if the dishes there are vegan since I don’t like to put pressure on people. It usually turns out that most of the food isn’t vegan so I end up eating salad anyways. I once went to a bar mitzvah and all I had to eat was a tasteless salad. I hated it. Everyone was asking me if I was ok because I was too embarrassed to tell them that I wasn't eating the food because it wasn’t vegan. I hate having to bug people. It just feels really rude. It’s not like I have an allergy. It’s my
