Author details personal journey to veganism driven by ethics

The author recounts their journey to adopting a vegan diet, driven by ethical concerns about factory farming. Despite knowing veganism was the 'right thing to do,' they delayed for years due to perceived difficulties with allergies, fear of negative health impacts, and an unsettling thought that if veganism had no downsides, it might change their perception of others who didn't adopt it. A mild intolerance to egg yolks and a desire to connect with someone considering Veganuary ultimately prompted the change, leading to a surprisingly positive self-perception without immediate negative health consequences.
