Why I turned Vegan.
I've been a vegetarian most of my adult life since age 10. I still crisply recall the day I gave up eating my most favourite food as a child - Chicken. Growing up, I loved accompanying my father anywhere he went. This would mean sitting on his bike's petrol tank or standing in the front of his other two wheeler and tagging along him to buy vegetables, groceries, hardware, his official visits and every other place. I even recall a day I unstoppably kept asking him to take me to his workplace and he did. One such visits was to a butcher shop to buy chicken. I stood and watched my father converse to the shopkeeper, after which the man went ahead to open a giant, overcrowded chicken shed where there was only enough space for the chickens to stand and not be able to sit on what seemed like flooring laden with manure. He caught one of these chickens by the feathers. The bird was terrified and screaming relentlessly. I was told to not watch the rest of it and distanced from the site
