Like many people, I once justified eating eggs, milk, and cheese by saying, "But they don't kill the animals." What I failed to realize is that the animals who are raised for these products face a horrifying fate that is no different than the one faced by animals who are killed for their flesh.
The money that I was spending on these animal-derived products was going right into the pockets of the industries that I was standing up against as a vegetarian. Once I learned that hens have their beaks cut off with a hot blade and are crammed into cages so small they are unable to spread their wings and that mother cows are forcibly impregnated in order to produce milk for humans and then have their babies stolen away (yep, that's where veal comes from), I knew I could no longer support any industry that profited from exploiting animals.
Going vegan is the best decision that I have ever made. If you're in a similar situation, please take a look at my following suggestions for making the transition from a vegetarian diet to a vegan one:
Going vegan is the easiest, cheapest, and smartest thing that you can do for your health, the planet, and animals. Now that's a New Year's resolution worth bragging about.
So what are you waiting for? Go vegan now!
