Hi, my name is Saianna, you can call me Sai, because I know it’s a confusing name… But anywhoosle, to the point of this! I just so happen to be starting up a vegan lifestyle, rather shortly, and I thought I should do some studying first. Boy! Was I right! I never knew how many hidden animal products were in the food I eat. And once I became aware, I became disturbeded, further strengthening my ambition to go vegan. I stumbled upon this lovely website and looked around a little bit, and decided I liked it here and wanted to join, so here I am. Please forgive me for being a little… Uninformed, I’m still learning. 
I planned on going vegetarian, at first, but that would include all the gelatin and rennet and blahblahblah that I learned about in my research, so that was a no no. I won’t lie, I’m not mainly doing this for animal rights, though I am a huge supporter of that. I need to be healthier, and right now my lifestyle is rather unhealthy. Sure I exercise, and sure I eat my veggies, but I also eat fast food. I always seem to feel ill afterwards, sluggish. My body seems to be regecting how I’ve been treating it. I’m always sick… So it’s time to kick it into gear, get healthy, lose some weight and stop eat all those… Blech! Hidden animal ingredients!
Hehehe… Anyway, I don’t want to post some big long thing about myself and my lifes story or anything, so I’ll end here. 
On a side note, I hope to make some vegan friends for support and to help answer my questions… as I’ve said, I’m very new to this, but still researching.
