I’ll start the blog by saying that I love soy. The humble soybean is full of nutrients, especially protein. For many people that don’t eat meat, soy is a life saver. You can find soy in tofu, soy milk, TVP, and alternatives. It’s super versatile and can fit in any dish perfectly fine. Soy is […]
Being vegan is very interesting. It’s one of those things that seemingly brings you attention when mentioned. Oh, you’re vegan? How’s that like? How long have you been vegan? Why are you vegan? The default questions that I typically receive are harmless. People are generally curious when they meet a vegan because it’s not common […]
One thing I love about London is how vegan friendly the city is. This type of inclusivity traverses the entirety of Europe – with a plethora of diverse vegan restaurants and alternatives. Having options allows vegans, and non-vegans alike, to try plant-based foods without compromising on taste. Living in a vegan-friendly city / country provides […]
This is a moment that I have been waiting for a while now. When I reached 6 years of veganism, I realised that I’m slowly approaching a decade. Every day that goes by brings me closer to that milestone. It’s a cool milestone, and I hope to reach it. Also, it’s not often that I […]
My parents came to visit my brother and I in London last month for a week. I don’t get to see my parents often, so whenever I do, it’s something that I cherish dearly. We got to see different parts of London, and had a day trip to Cambridge. Naturally, they also spent their own […]

As I approach my 7th year of being vegan in August, I take this moment to reflect back on a time when I wasn’t. At the time, I would eat anything and everything without a second thought. It didn’t matter what I ate, as long as it was tasty, and somewhat healthy. I think this […]
There are certain questions that people ask me that don’t seem to go away as the years go by. I’ve been vegan for almost 7 years now, and I find it interesting when I hear a question like “do you find being vegan hard” or “are you ever going to eat meat again?”. I’ve mentioned […]
Agriculture is an essential part of human existence. Tracing back over 12,000 years ago, people developed farming as a means to procure food that limited continuous movement of places. This allowed societies to remain in one place and expand as a result. The paradigm shift from nomadic to sedentary life meant that humans leveraged the […]
In my last article, I looked at different things to consider when deciding to go vegan. For many, such decision would be unitary – meaning it’s most likely a solo mission. However, just because you do this alone, that doesn’t mean that it should be daunting. In this article, I want to expand on a […]
