Leozette Roode (vegan): Inspiring Veganism in South Africa, Part 2 of 2

When I did Veganuary, and especially when I said, “I’m going to stay vegan,” she said, “Well, what if you get sick? What is going to happen then?” I said well, “I’m doing the research, and it looks like you can be very healthy and fit and strong on a plant-based diet, so I’m going to continue, and I’m going to still exercise on this diet, and I’m going to see.” And because I felt so healthy, I started taking on more and more exercise as well. And I just got stronger from there.
