Get to know Eugenio Ciccale, founder of 5Vegan
What influenced you towards the vegan life style, and what has is taught you?
I was not raised in a vegan family.
I ate meat, dairy and eggs for almost 27 years of my life, like everyone else I knew.
I was prompted to watch 2 documentaries (Cowspiracy and What the Health) and they changed my life.
These documentaries helped me start my journey towards a more ethical and sustainable way of living.
Are you involved in any vegan related activity? How would you like to be more supportive to the cause?
After 5 years of going vegan, I have seen loads of factory farm footage and videos about veganism, been voluntarily involved in activism groups which helped me to canalize a necessity to share with others what really happens when we choose to eat meat, dairy, eggs, fish or use animal skin in our clothes or accessories.
Not being able to be doing activism for the animals every time because of other responsibilities, I decided to express and promote a vegan lifestyle on the internet by offering a free subscription service to receive 5 blog posts about veganism, health and plant-based diets And that is how 5 Vegan was born.
