I've been a vegetarian for 20 years, stopped drinking dairy milk 6 years ago and I'm now completely dairy free, but this is quite a recent development, so I'm definitely at the start of my 'living without cheese journey'!
I grew up in Cheshire, after Art College I moved to Devon. Then travelled to New Zealand and stayed there to study at Uni. 2 years ago I moved back to UK with my Kiwi man! Been in Manchester now for just over a year.
I'm dedicated to 'beeing green' eating green and living green, I don't believe any animal should be killed or abused just for me supper! I believe in a conscious life.

I turned veggie when I was 16, after deciding that covering the taste of chicken with twice the amount of mash and gravy on a fork just wasn't worth it anymore. Though I stopped eating meat because of its taste, I guess I now have ethical reservations about the meat industry.
I came to Manchester for university and settled up here for postgrad study too. Last year I travelled to Uganda and Thailand and am now itching to do more travel!
This year I want to try a vegan diet to challenge myself, and to encourage myself to eat healthier. I will miss cheese and cakes lots.
