I WAS VEGETARIAN BEFORE I BEME VEGAN AND BACK THEN I THOUGHT I WAS THE HEIGHT OF PASSN; I GENUELY THOUGHT THERE WAS NOTHG ELSE I ULD DO AS A VEGETARIAN THAT ULD DO MORE GOOD FOR ANIMALS. FAST FORWARD A FEW YEARS AS THE TER BEME MORE PREVALENT OUR LIV I STARTED TO HAVE ACCS TO MORE RMATN, WAS THEN THAT I BEGAN TO SEE THE REALI OF DAIRY FARMG AND EGG PRODUCTN. THERE WASN'T A LOT OF VEGAN MSAGG OUT THE WORLD LIKE THERE IS NOW, SO WAS THANKS TO THE RMATN THAT I FOUND ONLE THAT STOOD OUT TO ME AS SAYG; ‘IF YOU RE ABOUT ANIMALS HERE’S SOMETHG ELSE YOU N DO.’ FOR ME, WAS A REAL AWAKENG TO GO OM VEGETARIAN TO VEGAN, AND ONCE I UNRSTOOD, AND THE RMATN MY BRA MATCHED THE SIRE HEART, WAS EASY TO SWCH OM VEGETARIAN TO VEGAN. I FELT GUILTY THAT I HADN’T REALISED SOONER, I WAS STILL G PRODUCTS THAT WEREN’T VEGAN AT THE TIME, SUCH AS TOOTHPASTE AND HAIRSPRAY ETC, BUT WE ARE ALL ON OUR OWN JOURNEY, AND WE ALL WAKE UP OUR OWN TIME, BUT THAT WAS OVER TWENTY YEARS AGO FOR ME THAT MY VEGAN JOURNEY BEGAN.V-L: TWENTY YEARS IS AN AMAZG ACHIEVEMENT.

SO WHEN I WAS APPROACHED BY A PUBLISHER HERE LONDON, SAYG THAT THEY LIKED THE WAY I APPROACHED VEGANISM, MOVG THROUGH THE DIFFERENT TYP OF SOCIAL JTICE NCERNS THAT PEOPLE ULD HAVE, WHETHER THAT BE VEGANISM OR ANTI-OPPRSN, THEY ASKED IF I ULD WRE A BOOK AROUND THOSE THEM, A ‘FAT GAY VEGAN’S GUI TO LIFE’ AS WERE. THE FAT GAY VEGAN BOOK WAS MY MANIFTO OF HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF BEG A PASSNATE PERSON, AND HOW TO SHARE THAT PASSN.V-L: THAT’S VERY SPIRG.
