Why Brian Turner is vegan

Brian Turner is vegan for health and the animals.

Brian Turner switched to a vegan diet to help combat persistent acne at the age of 23. He figured out that dairy products were to blame for his problematic skin and as an experiment he eliminated all animal products from his diet. He enjoyed the change so much that it wasn’t long until he was fully committed to the diet.¹Brian Turner. 2019. Why Did I Switch To Veganism? (From a GALLON OF MILK A DAY!). Youtube.

“Since [going vegan] my interest in food and my love for cooking has grown immensely! I grew leaner, stronger and bigger all from plant based foods! I proved to myself that I didn’t need animal products and now I want to prove the same to the world!”

“Let’s not let’s not trip, let’s not play here. All of us vegan and meat eaters, we understand how the meat gets made. It’s, you know, slaughterhouses cutting the necks, electrocuting the things and boiling them and stuff like that, and we all just kind of decide to like let It go by. Just out of mind. I mean I know it happens, I know people are tortured every day but if I don’t think about them then I don’t really feel that bad. And it’s human nature. I mean what are you going to do? Obsess about every single thing? But in this respect, it’s something that I can help (…) you can do the same thing with veganism but you actually can help, you know?”²Brian Turner. 2019.
