This previous September, I started my function as a VRG intern, which gave me many alternatives to interact with numerous sorts of details about veganism. Since I’ve been vegan for over 5 years, I already knew fairly a bit about totally different facets of veganism when beginning my internship; nonetheless, this expertise nonetheless supplied me with new views. Going into it, I wished to enhance my communication abilities whereas additionally attending to study extra, and the issues I did helped me with these objectives.
One of many duties I did was assessment different VRG interns’ information assortment for diet details about totally different sorts of plant-based milk, whereas additionally compiling information myself for coconut milk. By means of this, I used to be in a position to find out about how the range of choices out there for every sort of plant-based milk varies tremendously and in regards to the general dietary variations between them. I additionally thought-about how varied elements could affect an organization’s selections to label their merchandise as “vegan” or point out their plant-based nature in one other approach.
As well as, I contributed to the VRG’s restaurant information and wrote weblog postings. Considered one of my articles was a assessment of a neighborhood Mexican meals spot, through which I included my very own ideas on their dishes in addition to what the remainder of my household thought. Engaged on the restaurant guides confirmed me how the extent of selection in vegan meals out there throughout the U.S. is past what I had ever thought-about.
I worth veganism for moral causes and for its environmental advantages, particularly as a result of I want to pursue environmental science sooner or later, which is why I’m grateful for the chance to be a VRG intern.
