Episode 2 Who Am I and Why Am I Vegan


Episode 2:  Who am I? And why am I vegan? And plant-based? 

I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none. Here's my story.

I was in the Air Force for four years, creating maps for air operations. While in college, I was a museum carpenter. In San Diego, I was a Mercy Hospital maintenance worker. After my degree in information science, I was a systems analyst. I've always been a handyman. I just love to fix and assemble things.

I saw an advertisement as a truck driver and I pulled 48 and 53 trailers. The last job I had was as a package distributor at Amazon.com. At Amazon, working those 10 to 12-hour shifts. I needed more energy. Just eating the standard American food lunches was not working.

My sister-in-law mentioned juicing. Vegetable juicing. I found on Prime a movie that showed my vegan journey. The movie is called Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. I purchased a Breville juicer. Later, I purchased two books from Joe Juice Diet and another one from 101 Juicing Recipes. After a few months of juicing, I still wasn't very satisfied. I needed more energy.

I didn't know how to get it. I was watching a movie called Vegugate on Amazon Prime; it's about three New Yorkers who love meat and cheese and are willing for six weeks to live and eat only Vegan foods. This made such a huge impact and started my Vegan lifestyle. At 63, I became a vegan, and I'm still one at 71.

What are the benefits of being a vegan?  More energy, no constipation. I lost 40 pounds in six months. I'm not diabetic. I can taste my food. I have no age spots. I used to have these red spots all over. They're gone.  I'm protected from Parkinson's. It helps my arthritis. It improves my heart health. It reduces the risk of cancer. I have better weight control and stronger nails and my hair. 

The environmental benefits that I don't notice are water conservation, keeping soil clean, cutting greenhouse gas emissions, and preventing habitat and species extinction due to hunting. I've been very happy being a Vegan. It's not been easy. This podcast that you'll be listening to is my story of how I became Vegan.

And then later on, I'll be describing to you all the fabulous things I've learned for example cooking experiences. Come listen to episode three, Veganism and dietary labels. We look forward to seeing you there.  Thank you very much for listening and we'll see you soon in our next podcast. Thank you for listening to us.

Join me on this podcast journey as I share my experiences, recipes, and insights into the world of vegan living. 

In our next episode, "Veganism and Dietary Labels," we'll delve deeper into the nuances of this lifestyle choice. 

Thank you for tuning in, and until next time, stay healthy and compassionate.

  Welcome to the Healthy Vegan Living Podcast. I'm your host. My name is Gary. Welcome to episode number 3, Veganisms and Dietary Labels.  What is a Vegan? A Vegan does not eat animals or by-products of animals, including by-products such as eggs or milk. And honey. Vegans do not ingest beeswax, rennet, or collagen.  Here are the types.  1: Ethical Vegans. They're Vegans, but they also don't wear leather, wool, silk, feathers, and some cosmetics. They don't visit SeaWorld, where they have animals or zoos.  2: Environmental Vegans. They're Vegans, but they only eat locally grown foods. They would rather walk than ride a car. They are all about the planet.   3: Fruitarians.  They're Vegans, and they eat 70 percent fruit, but they don't ingest grains or nuts. They just don't believe in it.   4: Flexitarians.
