I went vegetarian in 1987..I joined the civilied world in 96 ( only heard of veganism that year). What joy! What enlightenment! Sad to have to be around the " What misery! and "What depravity!
Today is my 16th vegan anniversary!
Every year I try to do something special for this day.
Last year I wrote my 'Why Vegan' clip.
This year I didn't have a lot of time, but still wanted to do something.
So I created Vegan Anniversary E-Cards.
Happy vegan anniversary, Wanda Wow, 16 years...that's wonderful!Wanda
I looked at your cards, and they're adorable! I'm bookmarking your site

Its my first vegan birthday this Sat
Links in well with me planning to get to the Gloucester vegan fayre
Means i can allow at least one slice of vegan choc cake (i hope theres some at Gloucester!)
Alison
I think that entitles you to two pieces of cake. Alison! I wish I could go to the fayre and celebrate with you but I have to attend a wedding. I hope you have a nice time there. Gloucester has a lovely cathedral if you like that sort of thing.

You'll need to take the birthday candles with you Alison
And yes, definitely at least two pieces of cake!

Saturday July 1st (Canada Day) was my 2 year vegan anniversary. Also my first Canada day as a citizen
"I've been very hungry, but not enough to kill" - The Clash
how impressive, everyone
it'll be a year for me in the middle of july- YAY!!! i wish i knew the exact day. i still remember when i became a laco/ovo veg- it was feb. 2nd 1988- i guess i have a short term memory problem
two years - three years of being veggie before that.
Six months. Wish now I'd done it earlier. Vegetarian for about 15 years before that.
i was 14 when i became a veggie then became a vegan at 15, so that 16 yrs ago....bloody hell dont time fly.....
my 3 daughters are vegan from birth and they are 7,6 and 3,
1.5 years as this month (the 15th.) This coming February makes two years.
It's odd how there's so many on that poll who became vegan around 2004/5. I wonder why that is? Maybe there was something that happened around that time that got people's attention? Maybe it's just because that's when this thread was created? I'd be interested to know if there's some statistics like this, but more accurately showing how many people have been vegan during what years if anyone knows of one!
Oh and 2 years 1 month for me, 8 years off/on vegie before that
It was my New Year's resolution this year, so six months and nine days. I'd been going vegan and failing and going back and forth from lacto-ovo vegetarianism for four years, and had been l-o for some years before trying veganism for the first time. Finally this year I've really done it!
Yes, this thread was created, and was active.Imapeach
I didn't add 2006 as an option until a few days ago (didn't think of it).
happy vegan day juice
thanks, paulvegan. I suppose from here on out, I'll only celebrate whole years.

i'm a newbie at this
only on day 11 of being vegan!
its going pretty well though
Veggie since I realised what meat is... aged about eight years old.
Vegan since I was about 15 years old... 20 years! I'm feeling old!
Last month was my one year anniversary of becoming vegan...I made a few mistakes at the start (and probably still do unintentionally), but I feel great for doing my best at being a vegan

Around the end of November it would two years. WOW.
What should I celebrate with? Maybe I'll attempt a vegan "cheese"cake and stuff my face with that.
Peace, love, and happiness.
on december 16th of this year, ill have been vegan for 3 years. never thought it would happen.
tigerlily, that cheese cake sounds delicious.
i always cook up a huge dinner on the 16th. with alllllll the trimmings hahaha.

Hehehe. I have to find a good recipe. A lot seem to require a graham cracker crust and all the graham crackers I find contain honey.
Peace, love, and happiness.
You can use pretty much any cookies for that kind of crust - I use ginger nuts when I make lemon tofu cheesecake, I think that's a really yummy combination
I'll have been vegan for 10 years next February. I may have to have a party
You should! And invite me!
Peace, love, and happiness.
And me!
Invite all of VF!
Peace, love, and happiness.
