Swedish vegan says hello

Postby deusexmachina » Tue Jul 24, 2012 3:25 am

Hi.
My name is Malin and i'm a 27 year old vegan living in Blekinge, Sweden (originally from Skåne).
I became a Vegan december 2010, mainly because of all the health problems I had as a omnivore.
The interest and the cause made me turn in all aspects, making my life richer.

I'm married since november last year (he also turned half a year after me) and we have three crazy cats (tvo maine coons and a house cat). We live in his grandfathers old house on a farm (not active). I'm cycling every day and he runs and lift weights.

That was me - the short story =)

You're welcome. Neither, I just try to learn a little bit of each language that I encounter - and I use google. :lol:

Hi and welcome Malin!

Are there more vegans in your circle of friends or are you a loner vegan?

Thanks =)
The majority of my friends are vegan, and I 'had' them before I became vegan. Last summer, I converted my husband and today we are very aware of what we eat. No junk, candy - everything is homemade (except for vegan burgers and hot dogs occationally).
No one at my work is vegan or vegetarian, and every day I have to defend my food (and at the same time they're eating McDonalds and looking smug).
It doesn't bother me - I know I'm much healthier ;)

My friends had a band that had a song called Deus Ex Machina. Listen to it if you're interested!
