I am a vegan, so I don't eat meat or any animal products. 
thats interesting, im a pescatarian
That's interesting. I'm a vegan due to my religious beliefs as a Christian.
how do your beliefs contribute to you being a vegan?
Well I think the unethical treatment of animals and a vegan philosophy parallels with many christian beliefs.
i recently found out Approximately 5% of the US is vegetarian (close to 16 million people), and about half of those are vegan, about 7.5 million Americans abstain from all animal products.
Wow that's quite a lot. I wonder if most of those people are big supporters of animal rights.
