About One Bite Vegan
One bite.
One bite is all it takes to make a change.
Much of the food we choose to eat today is destroying our health and vitality. By consuming animal products, we are creating and fueling disease within us that is causing our own suffering and shortening our lifespan.
One bite is all it takes to make a change.
Much of the food we choose to eat today is destroying our planet. By consuming animal products, we are annihilating rainforests, ravaging our oceans, and ignoring the greatest contributor to global warming. We are supporting an unsustainable food system which neglects hungry masses and denies future generations a world free from environmental devastation.
One bite is all it takes to make a change.
Above all, much of the food we choose to eat today is causing incomprehensible suffering to the sentient beings who share this earth with us. By consuming animal products, we are turning a blind eye to the atrocities that are being inflicted upon innocent animals every day across the globe.
One bite is all it takes to make a change.
Our mission is to do our part to spread this message. As intelligent and compassionate beings, we are all capable of affecting change once we make the connection. What we have been eating is wrong. It is wrong for our health, wrong for the planet, and wrong for the animals.
By simply making a different choice about what goes onto our plate, we can say no to these wrongs and begin to make them right. Each and every person makes a difference. One bite is all it takes to become vegan and make a change.
We are passionate about sharing the why and the how.
