My family use to own a Brazilian steak house so it’s very hard for my family to understand that I’m vegetarian much less vegan and RAW! I’ve been vegetarian for about a year or so ever since an English assignment which basically lead me to the Peta website where I watched “meet your meat” since that night I have not eaten single piece of meat ever again, I would not take part of the animal cruelty involved. Soon after I became vegan due to my skin freak outs with all the dairy I was consuming, which freaked me out because I never had, break outs, acne or pimples so I did a little research then became Vegan which helped the acne, but still something was missing from my diet because I still did not feel like I was completely healthy. Till a trip to Mexico this summer where I stayed with a raw couple and have been raw since then. I live in Los Angeles where I go to an Art school called Otis, I don’t know any vegetarians or vegans, I would really like to meet some, but in the mean time I have this site which I love because it makes me feel less of a freak..
