My Philosophy is to #EATMOREPLANTS as I personally believe that it is unnecessary to take the life of a living being to please a personal preference, or convenience. When asked why I'm vegan, the answer is a combination of animal cruelty, environment and health benefits, but most of all... Why not?? - Tess Eden
