  Non-vegans presume that the hardest part of going vegan is finding food or getting enough vitamin B12 and yet, in my experience and the experience of many vegans that come and speak to me, these are far from the hardest part of being vegan. So in today’s video, I thought I would sit down and chat about my experience as a vegan and what I genuinely struggle with. I’d love to know in the comments if you agree with what I say and for you to share your own experiences too. <br>🌺 Get 20% off Wild here for a limited time by using the code EDAPRIL: <a href="https://bit.ly/earthlingEd">https://bit.ly/earthlingEd</a> - as always a big thank you to Wild for supporting my channel.

  It&apos;s not hard being vegan. It&apos;s hard being vegan in a non-vegan world.

  The hardest part for me is just knowing what&apos;s happening to the animals, and knowing most people don&apos;t care enough to do anything about it.

  When I went vegan over 20 years ago, my family thought I was crazy. Then my Dad and sister went pescatarian, then years later vegetarian, then vegan. My Mom who used to complain about vegans is now a staunchly vegan. It was amazing to see. But it wasn’t overnight.

  I work as a Veterinary Nurse and only one of my colleagues is Vegan. I find it absolutely crazy that people working in our industry will dedicate their lives to saving animals but also continue to eat them.

  My biggest support in going vegan was my (back then) 68 yo grandma. She bought a recipy book with traditional dishes of my country transformed into vegan way so she could continue cooking and having me over lunches on weekends as I used to visit her. :)

  The hardest bit is not having any vegan friends.

  We are haunted by what humans do to animals but are equally haunted by how un-haunted others are.

  The hardest part is definitely being aware of the horrors that are ongoing and the fact that nobody around you seems to care. It’s very disheartening and depressing.

  Don&apos;t think of yourself as &quot;the only vegan&quot; in your family. You are the first vegan.

  I&apos;ve been vegan over 10 years. I would say 90% of the difficulty in being vegan is social pressure and feeling &quot;different&quot;.

  I get pushback, hate and scorn for not wanting other sentient beings to suffer. What is this world?
