I’ve heard it said over and over again in the vegan community, “veganism is an ethical stance, if you’re an ex vegan, you never were really vegan at all”. And I couldn’t disagree more. 

  Ecuador is a beautiful country filled with delicious food and wonderful people. If you’re looking to learn more about it, check out my series on veganism in Ecuador which you can start here! 

Veganuary is an exciting movement, to be sure! And since it is the beginning of a new year, I thought it would be wonderful to discuss its merit.

   Hello and welcome back to Eight Years In! And if you’re new here, welcome! Today we’re talking about one of the aspects of sustainable veganism: experimentation. 

   Hello and welcome to Eight Years In! And if you’re returning, welcome back! Thanks for returning to this blog and hearing what I have to say. Now, today we’re talking about an interesting topic that any vegan is going to hold near and dear to their heart. But the title might seem a bit sensationalist. So let’s start there, and I’ll explain myself. 

Hello and welcome to Eight Years In! And if you’re returning, welcome back. Thank you for tuning back in to read my thoughts. Today, we’re talking about vegans. And specifically, this idea that they can never shut up about their veganism. 

   Hello, and welcome to Eight Years In. I’m your host, Rebekah. And I’ve been vegan for nine years now. But I don’t love animals. And that’s what I want to talk about with you today. 

   Hello, and welcome back to Eight Years In. Today, we’re talking about the online vegan movement and the pros and cons to it. Obviously, I’m convinced that the pros outweigh the cons since, well, look at me, I’m participating in it. But I think it would benefit us to take a more critical look at these things, so that we realize what we’re really doing. The more we look at this thing, the better we can try to diminish the downsides and take advantage of the help it brings. 

   So it’s winter here in the northern hemisphere and I remember back when I first went vegan I was worried about staying warm with only vegan clothing and products. I knew I wouldn’t be buying leather boots or down jackets or wool sweaters and socks. And living in an area where winter gets quite cold, I was concerned.
