MAINTENANCE WINDOW: APRIL 16TH, 7AM-7PM EDT Our longtime server provider was acquired by another server company, and now they're consolidating data centers to streamline operations. Unfortunately, we received notice that our services will be subject to a data center migration.

I'm not quite sure what your question "And how did you get into it or are you just naturally a vegan?" means, so if I'm interpreting this wrong please clarify, but if you're asking about whether I was raised vegan and if not how did I get into it, the answer is that no, I was raised as a meat eater by my parents who were (and still are) meat fans and then became vegan at age 21 (last year) when I found out the harrowing truths about where my meat, dairy, and eggs came from and it clicked with me that every time I buy and eat animal products, I'm supporting and playing a part in this evil industry, and as much as I enjoyed the taste of some animal-based foods, I simply couldn't live with myself continuing to do that so I did the only thing I could and became a strict vegan for life and to this day I haven't broken that except by accident or when I really needed food and had no other options.
