About Me
Hi, I’m Molly. I am a
27 year old mother from Michigan. Molly
MacVegan will focus on my journey to becoming a vegan. There is a crisis surrounding our food
industry in the United States. Many
documentaries explain the dangers of the American diet and the cruelty to animals
within the food industry.
When my son was a year old he transitioned from breast milk
to cow’s milk. For the next year and a
half he experienced frequent ear infections, colds, and allergies. My mother suggested I consider removing milk
from his diet. Milk was the only thing
he consumed every day so I thought I would give it a try. After removing milk from his diet 3 years
ago, he has not suffered from an ear infection since.
Over the last seven years, I have struggled with managing my
weight and health. Food has become an
addiction in my life. I have tried many
methods to improve my health and reach my weight loss goals…Weight Watchers,
counting calories, exercising excessively.
Although I may have had temporary success, I always ended up putting the
weight back on.
In the last year, I have been noticing significant problems
with my health. I am sick. I am poisoning my body with food. I am experiencing pain in my knees and become
winded upon walking up a flight of stairs. I experience extreme fatigue and
lack of energy. I have frequent
headaches and sinus infections. I have
started to experience acid reflux issues and have even been woken up in the
night because of this. I am snoring and
snoring LOUDLY, which may be impacting my sleep cycles.
The bottom line is, I am the mother of an active 5 year old
boy who needs his mom to be healthy. I
became vegetarian last year but that meant I increased my consumption of dairy
products significantly. After discussion
with others and research, I am a firm believer in the health benefits and
healing components of a plant based diet.
My blog will document my journey to becoming a vegan. I will share recipes, ideas, struggles, and
successes as I change my life. I will
also explore the importance of the anti-cruelty movement and protection of all
animals.

article which gives a little information about someone who already made this
transition and turned their health around:
