Welcome to Steemit! I am new as well and I have been trying to go vegan. I recently saw "What the Health" on Netflix and it certainly gave me a different perspective on my choice of food and lifestyle. The abuse and mistreatment of the animals is what really changed my mind. The problem is I am a foodie and I do not know where to start finding "good" alternatives to my favorite foods. Thank you this was a helpful post, you have earned yourself a follow! 👍
