People come to eating like this for many different reasons, and it can be health, it can be animal rights or environmental reasons.

And mine was originally health, but then it just bleeds into everything.

It rots.

It creates more of an awareness about myself and others.

And I love animals.

And it just created a whole different relationship with everything that I did.

Well, just being more conscious.

You know, you can be kind of going through your life and your day doing things kind of unconsciously.

And that includes what you put in your body.

It's just like, oh, there's a bag of something.

You just put it in your mouth.

You're just not thinking.

And not that I mean, well, I was going to say not that you have to live your life looking at every package that you're opening to eat, but it probably wouldn't be bad to do.

But that's what shifting to plant based was for me is, yeah, I do have to look at the labels.

And every now and then I miss something and I'm like, oh, gosh, that had I just ate an egg.

Yeah.

But it is interesting, like all of the little mistakes I've made and things that I've accidentally put in my mouth, which, of course, is not some huge issue.

But it's really I've been vegan now for eight years.

And and I often think, I wonder how much I've accidentally consumed.

Like, I would love to see, you know, some meter or something.
