MY VEGAN LIFE
I think we can all agree that, as young kids, we adopt our parents’ values and lifestyles. I suppose we don’t really have a choice in the matter – we simply eat what we’re given and acquire the behaviours and attitudes we see around us. So therefore, I’ll admit I had a pretty easy way into the veggie lifestyle. My parents went vegetarian in the 1970’s, a time when it was a rare and strange thing! My mother, actress Carol Royle, is patron of numerous animal charities, and has always fought for animal welfare in her work and personal life, and my dad is an equally passionate, animal loving health buff. All this has meant that, since I was old enough to understand the world around me, I’ve known that animals are to be respected and loved.
