Coming from an Italian family back East, meat was served up to us kids three times a day, bacon & ham for breakfast, cold cuts, sliced turkey for lunch and steak and chops and pork and chicken for dinner. Our parents meant well in the 60’s & 70’s when I grew up. The kids did not have a choice but to fill up on the meat all day. We also were served heavy carbs, such as Italian bread, bagels, cookies, pasta, etc etc. I was in the mode of ignorance and did not connect the suffering of animals to my mom’s, meat heavy servings on our table.

Suffering from fatique, severe acne, earaches, nosebleeds, migraines, you name it. I was 185lbs. Size 14 for all my teens and twenties. Finally at age 28 moved to Los Angeles and could feel as soon as I arrived there, that I was way too fat for all this sunshine. I slowly started substituting the meat for fish, not much better, but a start. I became total vegan at age 31, no animal protein in my body ever again. I am 58 today, pushing 60 and look like I am 45. I eat no animal protein at all. I am a size 7 today and look great and slim. Of course, I supplement my vegan diet with over thirty vitamin/mineral herbal formulas as I age and I suggest to other vegan women take supplements, especially vegan protein powders. God Bless Vegan consciousness. God Bless all of you at Vegan Outreach. Go Cristina!
