Baby Steps to Veganism

Author: Animal Protection of New Mexico July 6, 2020 Duration: 30:20

In this episode of Teach Me How To Vegan, we share more about our journey to veganism, and how we gradually cut meat out of our diets. We also discuss how to set SMART goals (goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely), how to determine what is the last animal-based food to remove from your diet, looking at your barriers and assets, resources that are available for free, and a brief review of our recommendations from the previous episode.
