Because what we eat has a huge impact on us and our view of life and the environment in which we live, once you start the vegan journey, you may find you begin to look at many things in a different way; you’ll most likely feel your ‘circle of compassion’ extending to other aspects of your life as well as food. This includes personal clothes and products – you may not wish to wear leather, wool, fur or feathers, for instance, or to use make-up or cleaning materials that include animal products or, certainly, that have been tested on animals.
