I want to help you eat more delicious vegan food

Lani’s transformation began as a pescetarian, then progressed to vegetarianism, before culminating in a commitment to veganism. Her decision was not impulsive but driven by a sincere desire to understand the impact of her choices.

As Lani’s awareness expanded, so did her understanding of the broader implications of her dietary choices. She explored the intersection of animal rights, human rights, and environmental sustainability. Recognizing the dire consequences of climate change and the destructive impact of certain agricultural practices, Lani embraced veganism not only as a stance against animal cruelty but also as a commitment to preserving the planet for future generations.

Meatless Movement recently had the chance to chat with Lani.

The future is vegan 💚
2024 is a great time to start!
for the animals, your health and the planet

I went from pescetarian to vegetarian to vegan. Becoming a vegan was a logical step for me, since I did more and more research on the subject. First about the animals, which was the main reason for me. You probably know the documentaries Cowspiracy and Seaspiracy. I watched “the best speech you’ll ever hear” from Gary Yourofsky and videos of Joe Carbstrong and Ed Winters. After this I learned more about the impact to the planet and how much it impacts human rights as well as animal rights. Besides that, the distruction to our planet and our future, with the dire situation of the climate change. Also do it for your own health. It is now the year 2024 and we have so much information that plantbased eating is more nutrious and healthy for humans.

I will continue with my activism as I remain committed to a better future and hope to make a positive, meaningful impact

I try to inspire people in real life and online with my vegan lifestyle. So people will see it’s easy and you don’t loose any joy, taste pleasure, cute clothing or muscle in the gym. I would argue the opposite actually, I gained so much more: more knowledge, more friends, the connection to my feelings, ethics and love for animals. This day and age it takes no effort to be vegan. You have the internet to search for recipes, vegan restaurants, substitutes etc.

I am happy that I have met more friends who are open to vegan food and like it when they try! If someone isn’t all that enthousiastic about it, you will always find something you like, just try again. There are so much options these days. Of course, you also already eat vegan food, but most of the time you don’t realise it: nuts, potato, rice, vegetables, fruits. It ties to capitalism – supply and demend, so that’s where our individualistic responsibilty comes into the picture, it will help the animals because they don’t have to die but we will also get more and more delicious food!

For me, animal rights are the most important reason to be vegan

People seem to care more and more about the environment and their health. If you do care, just listen to the doctors, researches and institutes who are saying you can help with direct action. We will still call out the large coorporations, but isn;t it nice to have a big impact in your everyday life? You can find articles and videos from verified sources.

In the Netherlands we have a lot of great vegan food. If I have to choose I’ll say The Vegan Sushi bar and The Vegan Junk Food bar are my favourite. But via the app Happy Cow I am always looking for new delicious food to try. My partner and I have been much more creative with our meals since becoming vegan. I will share the best recipes on my page.

I want to show how easy it is to live a vegan lifestyle

On my instagram I said to my friends: send me your favourite meal and I’ll veganize it for you. If you are thinking of becoming vegan, watch videos and documentaries. Find your own motivation. Follow vegan creators for food, clothing and community and be curious. Make the connection to the animals and life a happy, healthy and kind life
