Years as a Vegan: 23
Why you became a vegan: I was exposed to veganism through punk and hardcore. I chose a straightedge lifestyle at 14, so I was drawn to straightedge bands and then vegan straightedge bands. I went vegetarian my first year of college, but at the time thought veganism was extreme. 2.5 years later, I realized how ridiculous that thought was as I dove deeper into learning about animal agriculture and animal rights. It was only logical that I took the next step to oppose murder, torture, and rape. I then saw the correlations in other struggles, and ever since, I believe in and fight for Animal, Earth, Human, And Self Liberation. All struggles are one.
Favorite foods/meals: My go to these days are burritos/burrito bowls. I've just been on a big kick where that's what I'm craving a lot.
Favorite exercises: Pails/Rails, Longcycle, snatch, deadlift, squat, swings, bodyweight movements, bulgarian bag work, mace work, other kettlebell work, martial arts…I like a lot of exercises
