Leipzig - Kerstin Ott (43), the 'Rainbow Colors' singer, took a series of positive steps in her life, freeing herself from smoking, alcohol, and even gambling addiction. Now, veganism is the latest addition to the list. Here's her story.
Unlike her remarkable transitions from smoking and alcohol, going vegan for Kerstin wasn't a radical shift. Having been a vegetarian for a long time, she eased her way into veganism. "My wife led the way, being vegan a year before me. I learned the ropes by observing her, figuring out what to buy and cook," says Kerstin.
Her involvement with the vegan lifestyle deepened over time. "It was an eye-opener when I realized that the mass-scale animal farming, even in the organic sector, wasn't something I was comfortable with. Ignoring it was no longer an option," she adds.
Like many, Kerstin finds the idea of consuming milk or eggs questionable too.
*Childhood Trauma: 'It was Horror for My Birthday' "If you think about it, drinking another being's breast milk sounds a bit odd, doesn't it?" Ott shares candidly.
## The Encouraging Effect: Kerstin Ott's Vegan Impact on Fans Kerstin feels content with her decision to abstain from animal products. "I don't think I live healthier due to this change, but I can positively report on my experiences and I don't miss out on anything. In fact, it's quite the opposite," she shares.
Many of her fans have expressed their desire to quit meat consumption, too. "Some try going vegan for a few months, others turn vegetarian. It's amazing to see so many people seeking to make healthier choices," Kerstin nods approvingly.
She supports everyone's pace in embracing plant-based living.
