    Vegan

    I have been vegan for 10 months,; before that change I was a vegetarian. My motivation to be vegan was a little bit of "try something new". Only after deciding my decision to be vegan did I have read some books and articles about the realities of livestock farming and all of its the impacts on the climate, water, soil, and global health and hunger. And tToday I know it was the right decision. Every time I read something about the issue, I'm glad to be not be a part of the system anymore. {{OR: ...I'm glad to no longer be part of the system.}} The My last book I read on the topic was "Veganize Your Life!", and I can recommend it.

    I know it will takes decades until more people will change their diet., Bbut I see the change beginning. I know a lot of kids who are vegetarians,; when I was a child,  in my childhood I didn't know anyone. In Berlin, it is almost difficult to find a food stand without an offer of vegan food offering. (Okay, that's a slightly exaggeration!ed :-)).

    In my opinion, most of the e older generation will not change their diet.because to them Mmeat and cheese are an expressions of wealth. But fFor the younger generation, however, I hope it (displaying wealth and cultural heritage through meats and cheeses) will be not so important. Besides, I think it's easier for the youth younger people to change atheir behaviour.

    Hint: If you have Netflix you can watch the documentary Cowspiracy. The facts are easily digestible.

    about mooncakes and the festival

    My foreign friend once said that mooncake packages  are so beautiful and delicate, why doesn't he never see anyone eating  them? I answered  that they are too dry and most of Chinese don't like to eat mooncakes. Instead, they view them as a symbol and  send them to people as a presents. When people received an exquisite gift containing mooncakes, they don't even open it, but simply   send it to friends.
    So, when it comes to the Mid-Aautumn Festival. In ancient China, the Mid-Aautumn Festival it was a melancholy day for those who couldn't make it  back home. So instead (or to console themselves) they admired the beauty of moon and composed poems. ,it has been thousand years,wWe can't remember so many of the poets from the past thousand years, but countless excellent poems about the moon and nostalgia are often talked about and cited.

    Nowadays, the Festival is not so very elegant. The happiest thing I guess is to do is to stay be with family and enjoy have a dinner together, of course, usually without no mooncakes.
    When people feel a sense of nostalgia, they will look up and gaze at the moon, as thought if they were together with the most important people to them.

    This was an interesting read. Be sure to insert a space after commas (and semicolons, when you use them).
