Hello world! I am new to kind life and looking to learn more about vegetarians, vegans, and this culture. I am a new teacher and hoping to use this as a learning tool for my classroom as well. I have a short survey that my classroom has put together and I hope that some of you will take the time to fill it out for us. Here it goes:


What originally sparked your interest in becoming vegetarian or vegan?


How old were you?


Are any of your family members vegetarian or vegan?


Do they respect this choice?


What were your three favorite books from childhood?


What were your three favorite movies from childhood?


Are you more outgoing or shy?


What role did your childhood play in this choice for you?


Do you plan to continue with this lifestyle forever?


Would you encourage your (future) children to live this way as well?

Are any of your family members vegetarian or vegan? Three of us; sister, cousin, and I.


Do they respect this choice? Yes, they all do.


What were your three favorite books from childhood? Wow...long time ago. Can't think of the titles at this hour.


What were your three favorite movies from childhood? "Escape to Witch Mountain", "ET", "American Graffiti"

What role did your childhood play in this choice for you? None other than I never cared for meat.
