As you know not many people pay attention to their health until they are sick. Some people pay attention to what they eat, but don't care where it came from, and some people don't want to eat certain food just because they cannot or don't want to.Well I believe i come into this last last last group...one day i just got totally disgusted by the view that has been given to me at that time in my school canteen. Pretty gross, seeing the amounts of food being touched by other people's hands and then served for masses of kids. I would not even want to go into hygienic point of this, but all together, it was pretty interesting.
And that was the time when i became a vegetarian as at the age of 15.
Being a vegetarian wasn't that simple back in my time and choosing not to eat mum's fabulous food was at that time also part of the rebel teenage time...I wanted and did go against everything i could possibly go, fought lost fights, won impossible battles of personal persuasions, believes and power.
As I moved to England (age 17) if found it much easier to continue my uniqueness without those silly personal fights, without having to persuade or explain people why i don't eat meat. It was easy, comfortable and all together went with the trend that the west cultures started to adopt for couple of years back then.
My passion has just grown. It has grown stronger and bigger over the years, not even to the next or further extremes like veganism or some of those groups of people that i admire, but still don't understand. But my passion has grown towards the growing market of organic - biological stuff...Of course this would only be manageable hand in hand with the growing market in this sector.
As a teenager who was becoming more independent, studying English and American marketing, internationalization, trends and progress of where the market is going those days, I rapidly realized that this is not about the personal fights, not about going against the flow, but find the right direction...to become a part of the group that i belong to but never knew of. So from the personal fight, my passion has become a personal / group interest (age of 24).
And there we go now. I am a woman who has strong experience in more than 2 cultures, who has traveled and studied hard in order to realize and see what I need to do. I was fat, i was skinny, i was happy and i was sad, but all together, now i am MYSELF...
I, who knows what is good for me and what isn't, what i shall do and what really should not and i would like to share all this experience with you.
