Drinking lots of Coca-Cola will not make you young, will not make you healthy, and will not make you athletic – rather, it increases your chances of suffering from obesity and diabetes.

I started eating vegan purely for health/athletic reasons originally. But as the years have gone by, I care very much about trying to cause as little harm to other creatures as possible. I really love animals and respect them very much, and I don't want to see them hurt or forced into unnatural lives. I'm not so much out to change the world, as to change myself, but I would love to see all the people taking care of all living creatures, humans included. Wouldn't that be something? With being vegan and avoiding animal products of any kind, my policy has always been to just do the best I can. No one's perfect, but we can't let that stop us from trying to be better, right?
