Ghanim believes that veganism is more than just a diet, it's a movement that's about being as compassionate as possible to the environment and animals. He initially found committing to the vegan lifestyle challenging, but he soon discovered pleasure in seeking out vegan-friendly substitutes for his previous diet. He acknowledges that, at times, it can be challenging to find vegan alternatives, especially when going out and socializing. However, he now knows how to replace certain foods, which has made him more confident about his choice to be vegan.
For those considering turning vegan, Ghanim offers some advice: lean into it, and don't jump from a meat-based diet to a vegan diet. Take your time, and introduce healthier options and alternatives, but the motivation behind it should be: what can you do to feel better and help the environment?
Ghanim's question guides him in both his diet and his career. He believes that by creating businesses that promote a vegan lifestyle, he can make a positive impact on the environment and help people lead healthier lives. His journey is an inspiration to all, and his message is clear: embrace a greener lifestyle and make a difference in the world.
