It took me a lot longer than 12 minutes to become vegan, but I started by meeting some really amazing long-term vegans and watching this video.
“A Life Connected: Vegan” was created by nonviolenceunited.org. It is a short, to the point, and fact-based look at the environmental and global implications of an animal- based diet.
You won’t see graphic images of animal cruelty during this video and the facts presented are sound. If you want to check out Non-Violence United’s sources, go to www.nonviolenceunited.org/veganvideo.html. At the bottom of that page, there is a link where you can download a detailed transcript of the movie as a PDF, complete with a bibliography and an explanation of how they calculated the statistics cited during the movie.
It takes about the same amount of time to watch this video as it does to brew your first cup of tea in the morning. So set the kettle to boil and open your mind to some really amazing facts.

+ add your ownso sad, that something as important as your dietary health is guided only by emotion. We are OMNIVORES and need a bit of it all
Mmmm. . . bacon!
I'm almost a vegan, this just brought me one step closer.
Puts all reasons together in a nut shell! Thanks for the video!
It's so wonderful to see the positive response to this video! Congratulations to all you new vegans and those considering the jump!
Thank-you for the powerful message!
I absolutely love this video. It brought me to tears in a good way. I recently began living a strictly vegan lifestyle and (despite zero support or understanding from my family) I am eager and excited to make it my way of life for the rest of my life. Thank you so much. I'm going to share this video and my knowledge with everyone I know.
:)
WOW! Amazing video. It speaks so much sense and really touches the heart... I think it would be great to show this video on T.V. so even more people can feel the impact of what we can achieve together. A lot of people turn a blind eye to thinking about being vegetarian/vegan and buying products that aren't tested on animals
Well, that's done it for me. Completely vegan :-)
