A month of cruelty free eating

Vegan October. It’s a real thing. It’s a global thing. Google it.

This is now my fifth year in a row that I have abstained from cruel eating for an entire month. Where did it all begin?

I was working in a very eclectic office, everyone had their own thing. The Executive Officer (aka, Exo, aka, Boss Lady), was a vegan – had been for many years.

She one day challenged me to eat cruelty free for one day. I accepted the challenge and upped the stakes. I went on to eat cruelty free for a month.

Now that October has ended, I have decided to become a vegetarian. After five years of month long challenges to eat cruelty free, it is difficult to accept meat as a necessary food source – I’ll be doing my part – what about you?
