Etwas zu meiner Person finden alle deutschsprachigen Leser hier :-)
My name is Maria, I was born on the 16th August 1990 in Berlin and still live there (♥).
I never ate much meat, because my parents always paid attention to a healthy, "natural", diet and so I was used to eat fresh vegetables, fruits, grains etc. mainly... but still cheese, some meat and milk (although I was/am lactose-intolerant, what made it easy for me to abandon milk-products from my diet later) as well.
When I was 12 I decided to become a vegetarian for the first time in my life but I had massive problems with a lot of people around me bullying me because of that. I wasn't strong enough and so I started eating meat and fish again with 16.
Beginning of 2011 I read articles and saw cruel films on youtube again and was reminded of what I had pushed to the back of my mind... these pictures and facts burned into my mind and I stopped eating meat and fish overnight.
In November 2011 my mum and me visited a special vegan event here in Berlin and that finally convinced us completely to do the final step: going vegan.
All the people and the atmosphere there were SO pleasant that I instantly fell in love with the vegan lifestyle... so I also discovered my love for cooking and baking and started blogging recipes, reviews,.. in March 2012 here.
Now you have a small view into my life and development :-)
Best wishes,
Maria ♥
Dear Maria, I'm 16 I've been vegetarian for 2 years and I still am, but now at school I'm getting bullied because of my choice. I really don't know what to do....
