Here’s a little background…Before going vegan I had been vegetarian once or twice and then became pescatarian without eggs or dairy (mostly vegan, but eating fish still).
I have always been in love with fish, they are such awesome creatures. I worked in an aquarium for a while as a caretaker of all the sea creatures and my love for fish deepened as I learned more about them and realized they each had a personality.
Then a few months into my pescatarianism, it clicked – Why the hell am I eating my favorite animal?! I tried justifying it with the fact that I mostly ate fish I caught myself, it was a more sustainable way of eating, right? But my conscious just couldn’t accept the lies, so I stopped and became vegan and never looked back!
