To me, following a vegan philosophy is rooted in love, pure intentions, and a deep desire to respect all creation ᥫ᭡ It is a way to deepen spirituality and awareness, so I try to approach this topic with as much love as possible respecting everyone’s beliefs, feelings, emotions, and rights. I was a strict vegan; however, at times love, care, and respect have led me to be flexible in very specific situations such as feeding babies, my doggy, observe like environmental fumigation measures on the island that families themselves are asking for in order to protect their infants, or accepting a gift given with affection. I haven’t eaten any kind of meat in years. (I supplement with vitamin B12, plant based probiotics and omega-3s (EPA & DHA).
