Vegan lifestyle articles that discuss ways of living in peace with humans, animals, and the environment.
Michael had grown up accustomed to consuming animal products without considering the impact it had on others. Once he saw the truth, it was hard to un-see it.
Michael Ofe is one half of the passionate couple behind The Minimalist
Vegan, a popular global media platform that helps people find
the balance between eating well and living mindfully. They post two posts a
week on simplicity, minimalism, veganism as well as delicious plant-based
recipes. Their work is constantly featured on large wellness websites,
including Food Matters, Loving Earth, and One Green
Planet.
Michael's vegan journey began a few years ago when he watched the
life-changing documentary called
EARTHLINGS. The main premise of the film is
that all beings are Earthlings and should therefore act compassionately
towards each other.
Prior to EARTHLINGS,
Michael had not made the connection between what he put in his body and
where it came from. Though he was raised in Australia, his heritage lies in
West Africa and he has grown up accustomed to consuming animal products
without considering the impact it had on others. Once he saw the truth, it
was hard to un-see it.
Michael is now dedicated to spreading the message of veganism in conjunction
with minimalism. He sees a direct correlation between the two lifestyles as
they collectively symbolize mindful living - being mindful of how our
decisions impact animals, our environment, our health, and our wellbeing.
