Hello everyone, my name is Istara Bon Gundry and I am Vegan. I have been Vegan for the past 5 years.. but before I made the change I used to eat fast food almost every day and rarely thought about where food came from and never really looked to see what was in the food, how many calories something was, or how UNhealthy it was for me.. But rather looked at the pretty little package that food usually comes in.

It wasnt until I looked up on PETAs website and then I got to see all the different way aniamls are abused, tortured, and treated unethically. After watching videos, and doing my own research, the reality got me sick to my stomach that I made pledge to never eat meat again. After watching videos like that, you cant help bu be aware and awake to the truth. If i did eat meat, i would KNOWINGLY be contributing to the pain and suffering to innocent animals.

Now living in the Philippines, it feels as though there is a very small Vegan/Vegetarian/Animal Rights community. So many people ask me.. Istara, what is Vegan? Let me now answer your question… Vegan is a lifestyle & Diet that excludes the use of animals for food, clothing, & sport. So yes I do not eat eggs, cheese, butter, milk, yogurt, honey, and of course any meat, poultry, or seafood. So if it comes from an animal, I DO NOT eat it.
I hope to raise awareness  & will no longer wait for someone else to get the job done, because as the saying goes… “It starts with you”

I welcome you to my Vegan Journey.


Namaste.
