... ek is Kim,

Ek was nog altyd lief vir kos.

My belangstelling was van jongs af duidelik - of ek nou lekker saam met my susters gebak het, of in my kamer weggekruip het om kookprogramme te kyk in plaas van tekenprente.

As ek sou dink dat ek dit sou kon kap, sou ek 'n loopbaan as sjef begin het, maar nadat ek gedurende my universiteitsdae as KP in kombuise gewerk het, het ek geweet dat die kookkuns my keuse sou wees; wetende dat ek sou kraak onder die druk om 'n sjef in 'n professionele kombuis te wees.

Dit is streng tuis kook en geniet die skeppings van die regte professionele mense wat my die beste pas.

Terug in 2016 het ek begin 'n ek nstagram bladsy , deel van my eie resepte, lekker vind en lewenstyl juwele uit Londen en op my reise. 12 maande en 10 000 volgers later ontvang ek al hoe meer versoeke om 'n resepblog te begin.

Toe ek op my eie veganistiese reis begin, het ek soveel meer bewus geword van die planeet en hoe ons as mense dit behandel; beide ten goede en ongelukkig sleg.

Ek was verbaas om te hoor hoeveel impak vleis- en suiwelverbruik op die wêreld het waarin ons leef; wêreldhonger en armoede, waterafval, grondbesoedeling, energieverbruik, luggehalte en die lewe van elke lewende siel op aarde.

Ek besluit dat ek nie meer op 'n rekenaarskerm of TV wil kla nie. Ek wil #bethechange en my bietjie doen. Ek wil nie meer deelneem aan of geld spandeer om wrede praktyke vir my eie smaakpapillen of modegrille te bestee nie.

Ek glo nou dat u nie 'n omgewingskundige kan wees as u vis, vleis of suiwel verbruik nie. Nie met die vernietigende impak wat visvang, boerdery en moord op die omgewing het nie.

Dit het ook gelei tot my liefdadigheidsappèl wat ek elke jaar vir Valentynsdag voer, en moedig ons aan om liefde te deel en alles wat ons normaalweg op hierdie dag sou spandeer aan iemand wat dit meer nodig sou hê. Klik hier vir meer inligting!

Ek wil mense wys dat veganistiese veg vir u kan werk, ongeag u lewenstyl - daar is geen stero-tipiese veganisties nie. Ons is nou in 'n wêreld waar 'veganisties vervelig wees' 'n belagliker verklaring word met die keuses en opsies wat tot ons beskikking is.

</s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s>

Maar ek weet ook dat mense wat oorgaan na 'n veganistiese / plantaardige dieet 'n bietjie ondersteuning en inspirasie benodig.

</s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s>

Ek leef in die hoop dat die vraag 'Waarom is jy veganisties' eendag? ' is nie meer nodig om te vra nie. Die dag wanneer dit nie bydra tot die lyding van diere, die oseane, ons planeet, mense in armoede en ons gesondheid nie, is uiteindelik nie ter sprake of bespotting nie, maar word beskou as die regte ding om te doen. As ons die wêreld wil verander, moet dit begin met ons bord, in hoeveel ons verbruik, en hoe eties ons keuses is.

Veganiste; nuut, oud of nuuskierig - welkom in my klein wêrelddeel.
