Veganism and my reasons why | Aline Ploeg | TEDxRoermond

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Maybe you like your steak or maybe you don’t. By the age of ten Aline became a vegeterian. When she was sixteen, she decided to only eat 100% plant-based food. The story about to tell is a lifetime journey.

Aline Ploeg, 1973 / Since her 10th Aline eats vegetarian, after seeing a photo, taken in a pigfactory. She was shocked. After a few years she decided to eat 100% plantbased. On her 16th she did her first protest against animal abuse. Nowadays she is not only happy eating vegan because of animal abuse, but also for the environment, world hunger en her own health. Now and then she organises, with a lot of succes, a vegan pop up restaurant.
Besides being an animals rights activist, Aline is a fulltime graphic designer and owner of a graphic design agency Groenergras.
