Why vegan
Why vegan?
Why vegan, how vegan and why why why on earth vegan? Why not settle for vegetarian?
Why vegan – well, we haven’t always been vegans, just like we haven’t always been minimalists or full time travelers.
It all began late 2014 when our oldest daughter Isabella turned 5 and we had to face inscribing her to the nearby public school, where she was destined to start August 2015. She was and had always been a very shy and quiet girl, almost invisible when together with others. When she was a baby, she would not let anyone else than me or Tina carry her and outside our home she would scream if a stranger as much as looked at her đ
We knew in our hearts, that the chance of success and happiness for her in a classroom together with 29 other screaming attention seeking kids was minuscule at best and we started looking for alternatives.
Tina read about a homeschooling family, and it turned out that it was actually legal to home school in Denmark. Legal by law, but almost unheard off in public. Only about 1 out of every 1800 kids in Denmark are home schooled, and as it turned out, most people would judge us as bad parents, gambling with the social evolvement of our girls. For more on this, read our post about worldschooling.
Vegan Family by choice
It turned out to be an eyeopener for us in many ways. We changed our lives. I (Daddy) quit my job as a school teacher and started building up a new income by opening an online store, selling a pizza stone made of steel, so that I eventually would be able to spend more time with my wife and children.
..and because we began thinking more about our lives – what we did with our lives and how we lived our lives – things started to change!
One day Tina admitted that she had always wanted to become a vegetarian, because she loved animals.
(..post continues after the picture)
I had always loved a big steak, cheese, yogurt and milk – so I started to read scientific books and studies about the benefits of these animal proteins as a means to convincing her that it would be a bad idea to become vegetarians.
But, much to my surprise, almost all the real scientific evidence (studies not funded by the meat or diary industry), pointed towards a plant based diet as the best way to live a long, healthy life?
After reading for a while, and accepting defeat, I told her about my findings, and we decided to give it a try. Within one year, we had started homeschooling our kids, quit jobs, established a company, turned vegetarians.. and now VEGAN!
We just couldn’t help it. When you allow yourself to listen to your heart and find out that something is wrong. Doing something about it isn’t a choice anymore. Its a necessity or you will loose your self respect. Take a look at our favorite vegan YouTube channels here.
(..post continues after the picture)
You will meet people who don’t understand your choice. Some people will try to accept it and some will cut you out of their lives. This could happen with both friends and family, but you will also find a lot of new friends. A community of love and respect for life :-). Just as other people ask you “Why vegan”, you will start to wonder why the rest of the world doesn’t feel the need to share this feeling of love, improved health and respect for other beings. The question has transformed itself into “Why NOT vegan?”.
If you are interested in learning more about what helped inspire us to change our lives, you should watch these movies:
- Cowspiracy (available on Netflix)
- Forks over knives (available on Netflix)
- Earthlings (available on Netflix)
- Speciesism (available on Netflix)
But again.. why VEGAN?
Vegan for health reasons
Why vegan? Why not vegetarian? For me (daddy), it didn’t make any sense to avoid meat while at the same time continue to fill our bodies and the bodies of our children with milk protein, which countless studies had shown to cause cancer, multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular deceases etc. So, for me it was (initially) a logical choice based on science. Logically it made sense too. A cow will only drink milk while it has the need to grow fast. As soon as it is strong enough to outrun a lion, it will turn to a plant based diet for the rest of its life. The same is the case for all mammals. The only exception is Homo Sapiens – Human Beings like you and me, drinking mother milk while we are babies and then turning to cow milk (milk, yogurt, cheese etc.) for the rest of our lives. In a way we try to boost our body with something that is created by nature to make us grow faster and stronger. There is a reason why no other animals do this. Growing fast and strong comes with a price. Just imagine driving your car at full speed all the time with no time to rest or no time to see a mechanic. It will do fine for a while, but eventually it will break down. Not lasting as long as it was supposed to. The same happens with the human body.
So, let the calf have its milk, and live a longer healthier life yourself :-).
(Of course this is a very simplified explanation, and I really think you should read serious studies about the subject. The (at times boring) China study would be a good place to start.)
And no, living on a Vegan diet doesn’t automatically mean you are healthy. If you base your vegan diet on french fries, vegan ice cream and vegan cakes etc, you would end up very unhealthy. A vegan plant based diet, based on a variety of fresh vegetables and fruit will on the other hand help you live a healthy and happy life.
Vegan out of love and respect for animals
For Tina it was all about the animals. What good did it do a cow, not being killed for beef, if we continued to drink its milk? A cow won’t produce any milk unless it is impregnated and gets a calf. So the dairy industry impregnates her, lets her give birth to a calf, and then separates mother and calf after birth, resulting in both of them screaming, sometimes for days, because of their loss and desire to be together. She will then give milk until she dries out, whereafter she gets impregnated again, gets separated from her calf and cries out in agony. Again and again, until she at a (for a cow) young age is turned into chopped beef because she is worn out mentally destroyed. This normally happens after 5 years. In nature she would have lived up to 25 years.. sometimes even longer. If you compare that to a human life of 90 years, the equivalent would be impregnating as soon as her body was ready, then repeatedly impregnate her and steal her children, until she at age 18 would be mentally destroyed and her body exhausted. I couldn’t possibly disagree with Tina on this :-(.
(..post continues after the picture)
The main difference between vegans and vegetarians, is that vegetarians will/can eat or use any product, as long as an animal isn’t killed in the process of creating the end product. The animal may live a life in a cell, never see a green pasture or die a few days later as a consequence of the process. As long as the process of producing the product doesn’t result in immediate death for the animal, the product can be included in a vegetarian diet.
Vegans on the other hand will not eat or use anything where the use of an animal, be it mammals, fish, insects or birds is part of the process of creating the product. This includes wool (use of a sheep), egs or part of an egg from any animal, milk/milk powder/milk protein/cheese/yogurt and other dairy products, any meat or anything coming from any mammal, fish, insect or bird, honey or beeswax (taken from bees) and everything else where the use of an animal is required, fx “tested on animals” is a no go.
So in short: If an animal or part of an animal was involved in creating the product – it will not have a place in our lives.
Vegans also won’t go to the zoo, attend a circus where animals are part of the show, ride an elephant on vacation etc.
We don’t use the phrase: “animal welfare“, since it is invented by the meat industry to give the consumer a clean conciseness. We don’t think a life of imprisonment or a life as slaves should be described as welfare just because the food is a little better or the prison a little larger.
(..post continues below the info box)
What gives us the right to shorten the lives of other beings and then feel good about it by using words like “Animal Welfare” and “Organic Meat”?
Pigs: Are slaughtered at 6 months young; Natural life span would have been 6 to 10 years
Chickens: Slaughtered at 6 weeks young; Natural life span would have been 5 to 8 years for those birds bred as “egg layers” such as Rhode Island Reds; 1 to 4 years for factory layer breeds such as leghorns; and 1 to 3 years for “meat” breeds.
Turkeys: Slaughtered at 5 to 6 months young; Natural life span would have been 2 to 6 years
Ducks/Geese: Slaughtered at 7 to 8 weeks young; Natural life span would have been domestic ducks: 6 to 8 years; geese from 8 to 15 years.
Cattle: âBeefâ cattle slaughtered at 18 months young; Natural life span would have been 18 to 25+ years
Dairy cows: Slaughtered/worn out at 4 to 5 years young; Natural life span would have been 18 to 25+ years
Veal Calves: Slaughtered at 16 weeks young; Natural life span would have been 18 to 25+ years
Goats: Slaughtered at 3 to 5 months young; Natural life span would have been 12 to 14 years
Rabbits: Slaughtered at 10 to 12 weeks young; Natural life span would have been 8 to 12+ years
Lambs: Slaughtered at 6 to 8 weeks young for âyoung lambâ and under 1 year for all other; Natural life span would have been 12 to 14 years
Vegan for our planet?
Well, this is highly debated. Producing meat requires large amounts of water. A lot more than producing lets say carrots and potatoes. But, what about producing an avocado in a dry area in Peru? This could take up a lot of water too, and then comes the transport to Europe or The US?
Our view on this, is to try to use locally grown vegetables and fruit. Organic if available, and then from time to time treat ourselves with imported fruits or vegetables. But, most of it should be locally grown, organic and sustainable.
Vegans don’t get enough protein or B12!
Wrong! Plant based protein is powerful – Just ask an Elephant, a Gorilla, a Rhino, a Bull or a horse :-).
You don’t have to eat meat to be strong. And I don’t feel like a lesser man after I switched to a plant based diet. On the contrary – I have never been so healthy or had less sick days than I have had the last few years.
True, we as a family need to eat a varied diet. We can’t survive on potatoes or carrots alone. But if we mix our intake of vegetables, and take a vitamin B12 from time to time, we won’t have to worry about our diet.
One thing we certainly don’t worry about is our protein intake. Studies have shown that we don’t really need as much protein as we are told, and since plant based protein is digested more natural by our bodies compared to protein coming from animals, we don’t need as much as we did before.
Protein works as a booster for our bodies. Too much protein and our system runs on max capacity full time. Great if you want to lift weights or perform at the Olympics, but bad if you are planning on depending on your body for many years to come. Again, don’t take my word for it. Read “The China Study” and let the numbers convince you.
But a vegan diet is so..
..exciting, adventurous, healthy, cheap?
I know, most people think its dull, boring and limited. It doesn’t have to be.
The picture below explains it better than I would be able to. Being vegan can be a challenge. Especially if you travel like we do, but we have managed until now, and I’m sure we will continue to do so.

Famous Vegans
We didn’t decide to become vegans because some famous person told us to, but sometimes it just helps to know that you are not alone out there đ
So, here is a list of famous vegans:
Myley Cyrus, Woody Harrelson, Joaquin Phoenix, Ellen DeGeneres, Casey Affleck, Ariana Grande, Moby, Morrissey, Alicia Silverstone, Sia, Stevie Wonder, James Cromwell (turned vegetarian and later vegan after playing the farmer in the movie “Babe” about a pig that wants to be a sheep pig), Jessica Chastain, Ellen Page, Liam Hemsworth, Peter Dinklage, James Cameron, Pamela Anderson, Al Gore and many more :-).
Vegan family goals..
We are just a few years into our vegan journey, and still consider ourselves to be vegan infants :-).
We really want to eat more raw food, since we know that it would be good for us. Hopefully in a few years, a considerable part of our diet will be enjoyed raw. I don’t know if we will ever go 100% raw. Right now it feels unlikely, but if you had asked me a few years ago whether we would become vegans, I would have called you a fool. ..so I will leave it with that and see what the future has in store for us :-).

Perfect written. We could not agree moređđŒâ€ïž
We have been plantbased for 4-5 years and are now expecting our first plantmade baby đ¶đŒđŽ(week 38 now)
When you first start reading about it, you somehow loose the tunnel vision and you start to see the world with new eyes.
That’s a fact. Everybody feels that.
With that said, we are also talking about home schooling or the move to Bali as we really adore “The green school” there. If you havent been, go!! And visit the school, at least just for some inspo.
All the best to all of you.
Happy that I stumbled over your post on facebook.

Thank you so much for your comment đ
We will definitely visit the Green School when we visit Bali :-).
Best of luck with your new plant baby đ

Hej, hvordan har i skiftet til vegansk for bÞrnene? BÄde rent praktisk i fht at kunne lide maden og ogsÄ om det er deres valg fx hvis de bliver tilbudt ikke-vegansk mad?
Vi har selv 3 bÞrn pÄ 4,6,8 og er ca 80 {cb5e6212acd51c721b4baa41ac4314b74a876df8a43ea030565366aeebd3bb77} veganske, men synes skiftet er svÊrt med bÞrn i fht om de fÄr nok varieret kost da det kniber lidt med at fÄ grÞntsager indenbords. Og synes ogsÄ det er en udfordring i fht pÄlÊg pÄ madpakken (er ikke tilhÊnger af forarbejdet veganske produkter sÄsom pÄlÊg), da vores bÞrn er i bÞrnehave og skole.
SpÊndende at fÞlge med i jeres eventyr. Vi har selv fÄet mulighed for at rejse i januar og februar 2018, og turen gÄr til Thailand. Vi vil bruge den ene mÄned pÄ koh kut og koh chang, sÄ hvis i har nogle gode anbefalinger, modtages det gerne.
Mvh Stine

Hej Stine đ
Vi er nok blevet lidt mere afslappede omkring det efter vi er draget ud i verden. Vi er kommet lidt vĂŠk fra de ting de kendte fra vores tid som fĂžrveganere, og de spiser mere og mere frugt og grĂžnt for hver dag der gĂ„r. Isabella ser sig selv som 100{cb5e6212acd51c721b4baa41ac4314b74a876df8a43ea030565366aeebd3bb77} veganer, hvor Sophia stadig siger ja tak til fx chokolade og vingummi nĂ„r det bliver tilbudt ved kassen i suppermarkedet osv. Men ellers er de blevet meget bedre til at smage pĂ„ ting og lukke nye ting ind pĂ„ deres “acceptabel mad liste” :-).
Vi har en regel om at man skal smage pÄ den mad der bliver tilbudt, da der er lagt kÊrlighed i tilberedelsen. Alternativt har vi altid brugt havegryn/havregrÞd, sÄ de ikke gik sultne i seng, baseret pÄ en ide om at sÄ lÊnge det vi spiser er mere spÊndende end alternativet, sÄ vil de fÞr eller siden foretrÊkke det vi spiser :-).
..og sÄ har det nok ogsÄ hjulpet lidt pÄ vores bekymringer, at se hvordan mange bÞrn ude i verden ser ud til at leve fint pÄ ofte meget ensartet kost, sÄ barnekroppen ser ud til at kunne klare mere end vi lige gÄr og tror :-).
Vi er nok i Syd Thailand i februar, sĂ„ det kan jo vĂŠre vi kan mĂždes? Vi har vĂŠret pĂ„ Koh Chang og kan varmt anbefale https://www.facebook.com/indiebeachbungalows/ đ
17/01/2018 @ 8:58 AM
Hejsa, og undskyld jeg lige svarer med her, men vi har lige vĂŠret pĂ„ ko kut og kan meget varmt anbefale Koh Kood Ngamkho Resort đ god restaurant med ret mange veganske muligheder, bĂžrnevenlig strand og dejligt personale…
Vi er i Ăžvrigt pĂ„ en mini-version af jeres tur med to piger pĂ„ 0 og 2 og sĂ„ varer den ‘kun’ 5 mĂ„neder đ Hvis I skal tilbage til Chiang Mai sĂ„ tag forbi ‘happy time’. Vores til dato bedste og mest autentiske veganske thaimad. Vi savner det nu vi er rejst videre đ

Hej Anna Frida
Kan du huske hvad I betalte pÄ Koh Kood Ngamkho Resort? Vi rejser normalt pÄ et lidt stramt budget :-).
Der gĂ„r nok lidt tid fĂžr vi er i Chiang Mai igen, da vi har vĂŠret der 3 gange indenfor de seneste par mĂ„neder, og nu gĂ„r turen til andre lande :-). Men Happy Time er helt klart skrevet i notaterne til nĂŠste gang :-). Der skal I i Ăžvrigt prĂžve “Green Tiger Cafe”, der for nyligt er blevet 100% vegansk. Super mad til lave priser, og totalt hyggeligt :-).
03/02/2018 @ 10:38 AM
Ja vi gav 800 baht for en fan bungalow. Vi fik en madras pĂ„ gulvet uden ekstra beregning. Det var fint til os med to smĂ„ bĂžrn, men ved ikke hvor tĂŠt I kan sove đ det er nogle smĂ„ og meget basic hytter, men rene og pĂŠne. Og dejlig beliggenhed lige ved vandet.

I think the reason of being vegan is noble. I’m not a vegan but I can understand why you and your family choose to be vegans. Actually what make me interested in is why you change your way of life because of your daughter Isabella. It’s obvious that your daughters are very important to you.
I felt the same way.. because of my little girl Mili who doesn’t like to go to school.. we change our way of thinking about life and education. I want Mili to learn everything that she like and learn happily without being forced or pushed. Like Isabella.. Mili is very shy and so sensitive.
The 3 of us (me, my husband & Mili) agree that homeschooling is the right thing for our family. We believe it can make Mili feel comfortable learning everything anytime and anywhere she likes.
Homeschooling is also legal in Indonesia and it’s pretty popular nowdays because many family find that school isn’t good enough for their children. There so many academical subjects that kids must learn but less moral & manner lesson that they get.
Maybe you can meet with Indonesian homeschooler community when you visit Indonesia next year. In Indonesia we’re making groups by area so we can meet up and gather more often.
Say Hello to Isabella from Mili. Can’t wait for your next updates đ
26/11/2017 @ 6:34 PM
Hi Melissa đ
I am happy that you decided to homeschool Mili.. I am sure she is too :-). As long as a kid is stressed and worried about the environment that she is in.. she will not be able to learn anything. So creating a relaxed environment where Mili feels safe, is the only way to help her grow into a complete person :-).
It would be great to meet when we come to Indonesia đ
Where in Indonesia do you live?
01/12/2017 @ 12:59 AM
Hi.. sorry I’ve been very busy. We live in Tangerang Selatan, it’s near to South Jakarta. It would be great too if my family can meet yours, and perhaps I can ask few of my homeschoolers family to join đ
26/11/2017 @ 11:39 PM
Such a great story!! We are vegan from Bermuda. I love to keep learning, and we have similar reasons to be vegan: for health, for the animals, for the planet. Travel wise. Big love. x (@bohobermuda)
04/12/2017 @ 10:34 AM
Hi Maya
Great to hear from Bermuda from a fellow vegan!
28/11/2017 @ 11:52 AM
A wonderful post – the planet needs more people like you and your family. I’ve been vegan for 23 years and have never regretted my decision ~ the animals are who I do it for and the protection of the planet. Life has much more clarity for me and I think I see the world from a place of sensitivity and compassion. We are blessed with this beautiful earth and so it is our honour to be looking after it đ
04/12/2017 @ 10:39 AM
Hi Claudine
23 years! That is impressive! Being vegan today is much easier than 23 years ago I imagine?
And yes, when you start to embrace life and appreciating your own life, it is hard to accept that animals should be treated as if their lives meant less than humans, just because they don’t speak our language or care as much about money and power as humans do?
You are an inspiration for us all!
04/12/2017 @ 10:13 PM
Tak for dette fine indlĂŠg! Jeg fĂžlger jeres blog og Instagram og finder jer meget inspirerende.
Min kÊreste og jeg planlÊgger en lÊngere rejse i 2019 med vores to bÞrn og findes jeres tanker omkring at rejse med bÞrn kontra skole osv. meget interessant og inspirerende. I er utrolig modige og det er sÄ skÞnt at blive bekrÊftet i alle de tanker min kÊreste og jeg har som bevÊger sig uden for normen, men som jo bare handler om at fÞlge sit hjerte og sin intuition.
Tak for god lĂŠsning:)
Mvh. T
05/12/2017 @ 7:12 AM
Hej T đ
Tak for din dejlige kommentar đ
Der er mange der skriver at vi er modige? Det har vi aldrig rigtig tĂŠnkt over. Vi har bare en ide om at man kun bliver lykkelig hvis man lytter til sit hjerte og gĂžr det man har lyst til. Vi har aldrig tĂŠnkt at det skulle vĂŠre svĂŠrere at have bĂžrn “on the road” end i en travl hverdag hjemme, hvor man jonglerer med institutioner, arbejde, fritidsaktiviteter osv. Vores liv er ikke sĂ„ meget anderledes end det liv vi levede hjemme i Danmark. Vi prioriterer stadig tid med hinanden hĂžjest, og retter alt andet ind efter det. Der findes mad i hele verden, senge i hele verden og folk er sĂžde, dejlige, frĂŠkke, ondskabsfulde, sociale, asociale og og og.. ligegyldigt hvor man kommer hen. SĂ„ ligesom vi altid har gjort, fĂžlger vi vores intuition og sunde fornuft nĂ„r vi omgĂ„s andre mennesker og tager beslutninger. NĂ„r noget fĂžles forkert lader vi det ligge og drager videre.
Fedt at lÊse at I ogsÄ vil ud og se verden med jeres to bÞrn! HÄber at vi ses derude! Verden er faktisk lille nÄr man fÞrst er herude ;-).

Hi beautiful vegan familyđ.We are a vegan family of 2 my husband and I and we did it for love to animals,me I LOVE THEM TOOOO MUCH for me all animals are equal including human animals,so I CAN NOT END A LIFE JUST BECAUSE I CAN AND I REFUSE TOđ for my husband it was the animal mistreatment,how much we abuse them just for our own satisfaction ( this is not humain ) so we desided not to consume anything that comes from animal suffering of any kind( like bees being slave to death for their hunny ,the hunny they create to eat working hard )but we take it from them because it taste good to us đanyway good for you guys that are capable of seeing that they are alive too and traveling the world wile you home school your beautiful girls đđđ»AWESOME!!! you are giving your girl a kind of education that no school would ever give any child ( That the world is a beautiful place full of beautiful people that are conected to eachother and to us in such a deep level that it is impossible to miss ) WE HUMANS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND THE WORLD 2 ,PEACE,LOVE,AND ALL THE BEST FOR ALL OF YOU đ We all love you !!! note: ( This 2 vegans are leaving everything behind to to travel the world in our motorcycles đđđâïž)

Jeg bliver meget inspireret af at lÊse med her og se alle jeres skÞnne billeder pÄ Instagram. Sikke da et fantastisk eventyr I er pÄ!
En del af mig kunne godt tĂŠnke mig at leve vegansk men jeg er ikke klar til at tage springet og min kĂŠreste er slet ikke. Men vi arbejder pĂ„ at have flere kĂždfrie dage og generelt passe bedre pĂ„ vores jord. Det er blandt andet noget af det jeg blogger om đ

Hej Thea đ
Tak for din kommentar!
Dejligt at hÞre at du bliver inspireret :-).det er jo netop hovedgrunden til at vi bruger tid pÄ at dele vores oplevelser pÄ de sociale medier!
Vi blev i sin tid selv inspireret af andre der delte ligesom vi gĂžr nu, sĂ„ hvis vi kan fĂ„ andre til at overveje den veganske livsstil (for det er en livsstil). PrĂžv i fĂžrste omgang at leve mere plantebaseret, prĂžv at se om du kan fĂ„ ham med pĂ„ at gĂžre det i smĂ„ ryk, fx en uge af gangen. Det tager lidt tid at vĂŠnne kroppen fra fedt, sukker og rafinerede produkter, men gĂžr I det i 1-2 uger, vil han fĂžle forskellen og vĂŠre mere modtagelig fremover :-). Hvis han godt kan lide facts og ikke har noget imod at lĂŠse, kan du prĂžve at fĂ„ ham til at lĂŠse “Kinastudiet” som formentlig kan lĂ„nes pĂ„ biblioteket :-).
Held og lykke med jeres rejse mod en mere plantebaseret kost đ

What a great article, we couldnât agree more! Veganism is such a wonderful way to raise compassionate, open-minded children and of course also a great way to look after our beautiful planet so future world-travelling families can enjoy it! Good luck with your raw food adventures in future! đđđđ

Such an inspiring family. Iâm loving your vlog and Iâve really enjoyed reading this blog too. Keep it up guys.
Iâm campervan123ful on YouTube. I donât post videos but just so you know who I am!!) x
02/02/2018 @ 1:42 PM
Hi Helen
Thank you so much for letting us know đ
Sometimes it seems like no one is watching our videos ;-), but then again – we will keep on posting them no matter what and then watch them from time to time, to help us remember all the places we visit :-).
02/02/2018 @ 1:51 PM
Thank you for your reply. Everybody has to start somewhere. You mustnât give up trying. I wonder if you could âadvertise â your channel on some of the vegan groups on Facebook. That way you would be reaching a huge audience and Iâm sure youâd get lots more viewers. The content and quality are really good. Donât get disheartened. x
02/02/2018 @ 2:04 PM
Thought about that too, but most of them have “no self promotion” in their guideline, and would not like to be a naughty vegan đ
