Vegan all these years later
Just here to say thanks!
This one of the first resources for me when I went vegan about 17 years ago. It's amazing how far veganism has come and as one of the OG message boards, this place helped a lot.
Thanks LJ and Vegan People! -

Relationships with non-vegans... I'm so upset :(
Hey guys. I had an argument today and another one yesterday with my vegetarian boyfriend where he turned out to be a MUCH bigger speciesist than I thought he was.
