So glad to have you on board. I too am a big animal lover and this fact is one of the reasons i went veg. A young teen once asked me "why do people go vegetarian, its not like it is going to change anything"? My reply was that going vegetarian for many is a personal stance, a declaration, a revolt of sorts against animal cruelty. It may or many not make a difference, but it's about taking the stance that matters. Of course, there are a variety of reasons why people adopt the veg lifestyle. Great first article and it is super cool that at age 5 you were able to influence your parents to go vegetarian. Good stuff! Missy. Great story, Jason. So glad to have you on board.
