About Me, and some Back round Information on me & Veganism

Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Megan, and I live in Sunny and bipolar Florida. It wasn't my choice to move here, but it happened anyway. I am also a vegan. My Veganism came slowly like any other extreme life change. I first was a Pescatarian ( eats seafood) then, I became a Vegetarian for about 9 months and now for about 3 or 4 months I have made the choice to become Vegan. My whole "Not eating animals" thing started when I went to a restaurant and ordered the lobster, when they brought the lobster out they brought the WHOLE lobster out. I was shocked, and repulsed! I knew I ate animals but it was just laying their dead, and lifeless. It changed my outlook on food forever. I then became a vegetarian, and did that for a long time until about January of this year. I was assigned for school to do a paper for a subject that you strongly believe in, and I chose farm animal abuse. I already knew before I wrote that paper that I was going to go Vegan in hue of the paper. I did the whole paper despite how much it hurt me. I hate those freakin' pop up windows because they just pop up!! A video of a baby cow getting slaughtered is lovely to see at 10:30 in the morning, right before lunch. That happened every time I went to a new animal abuse website!!

Anyway that is my going vegan story, and all the events that lead up to getting there. Now about my family...... I grew up in Ohio, the midwest, and people in the "up country" like their meat. I grew up with my grandma ,which I call mamaw, who is from Kentucky and she married my Papaw who when married to each other went to forgo the meat industry to make some money. They both slaughtered hogs for the longest time until my Mamaw got pregnant with my Uncle. Every weekend that I can remember ( while I lived in Ohio, moved to Florida when I was 4) My grandma would make the ultimate country breakfast. She would go all out with Biscuits filled with lard, fried apples, bacon, sausage patties, sausage gravy, Pancakes, grits and scrambled eggs. It was good from what I remember, and she is the kind of person who expects you to eat it all, because otherwise there was something wrong with it. Both of my parents are devote meat eaters and tease me constantly about being a vegan. I am essentially the "Meatless Grandchild", thus the blog name. Well that is enough for now, I will update you all on what I usually eat on a regular basis sometime later. For now,
