I'M INTERESTED IN MAKING A RADICAL CHANGE TO VEGANISM.
WHAT BRINGS YOU TO THIS DECISION? Is it because of animal cruelty? Are you Straight Edge?
YEAH, ANIMAL CRUELTY MORE THAN ANYTHING. 
Have you considered simply cutting out beef and pork? Chickens can be ethically raised as well as goats and even pigs, I think (personally) the issue is the agricultural SYSTEM they are raised and abused in
THERE ARE HUMANE WAYS OF GOING ABOUT, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE AGRICULTURERS HAVE LOST THEIR HUMANITY.
Yep, humans used to kill for food and it was much more humane, now animals are literally manufactured like a bottle of water and sent off to die. Our agricultural system actually dooms us to a future of total runaway climate change
RIGHT? IT'S SO SAD, AND IF MONEY IS WHAT DRIVES THEM, THEN THE ONLY DIFFERENCE I CAN MAKE IS TO STOP FEEDING THAT DRIVE.
Unfortunately, there isn't any stopping it, even if everyone in America quit, companies would still demand the meat and their business would be met. Our government is literally GOB from Arrested Development
YES BUT I THINK MY CONSCIENCE WOULD BE MORE AT EASE IF I'M NOT A PART OF IT. 
What are the benefits physiologically of  the practice of veganism?
