Hi! I'm vegan!
Are you ethical vegan where it goes into other areas of your life?
Not really, I recently started practicing it! 
There are many vegan festivals that have food and entertainment. 
Really? very interesting! i need to look into attending such an event! are you a vegan yourself?
I have been for several years. 
oh nice. I need to become aware of the festivals/events in my area so i can start attending them.
You could learn useful information like what type of chronic diseases can be lowered risk.
That is actually why i became a dietary vegan. I'm currently trying to talk my fiance into becoming vegan also. a lot of health benefits!
You need to be sure that it's a well balanced diet so you get all the nutrients you need.
