About Me
- Tom Samworth
- After celebrating my 40th birthday in October 2008, I really began to realize that time remaining really wasn't infinite and if I wanted to make the best of the rest of my life, changes (some drastic) would have to take place. Less than a month later, on November 4, I took the plunge into becoming a vegetarian. Within hours of doing tons of research, I realized I wanted to be a step beyond and become Vegan. What, at first, was a health decision soon became an ethical and environmental decision as well. Concerns of becoming a weak, undernourished, skeleton were soon destroyed. I carried on with running, hockey and working out as if nothing had changed. In fact, I've shown more improvement in those areas since becoming Vegan than I have at any other point in my life. It's also a lifestyle that has helped me go from 200 lbs. to between 170 and 175 in 9 months. I would like to encourage anyone that is thinking of making the change, but is afraid of any negative consequences, to look beyond the factory farm propaganda and realize that becoming Vegan is the right thing to do.
thanks for sharing this! More power to you!
