When I got into my twenties, I started to meet many more vegans who encouraged me to try new and exciting foods. At first, I was not keen, but did enjoy the vegan lasagna. I tried vegan burgers and used vegetarianism as a way to move gently into veganism. This had varying results. I found vegans had different tactics: either trying to tempt we with food or trying to gross me out with images of slaughtered animals.
