I mention I'm a vegan leaning vegetarian and people go all crazy town and start making love to their hamburger, eating all slow and seductively and saying "oh, I hope my love of MEAT doesn't bother you" (just one reaction I've had from a total stranger at a work function dinner... what the hell dude??). I'm not at all a militant veg*n, yet people get super uptight about it, and sometimes launch into lectures on how I'm going to die (seriously) or how I need to research the Real Food diet or the Paleo diet. Um, thanks for assuming I didn't research those things! I even read "The Vegetarian Myth" for crying out loud, and I still believe this is the best diet for me...<br /><br />All that being said, good luck with the rest of the month and congratulations for trying something new.Cortneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07225945218092447245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75479263476149564.post-29352402329932769532011-01-06T06:05:18.443-07:002011-01-06T06:05:18.443-07:00im really impressed with your dedication. we have ...im really impressed with your dedication. we have been trying just to vegetarian!Adrianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030810604416590315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75479263476149564.post-77605959016505386712011-01-05T14:55:12.479-07:002011-01-05T14:55:12.479-07:00@Molly- Thanks! Yep, going vegan for a month. So f...@Molly- Thanks! Yep, going vegan for a month. So far it's been fairly easy but I do have my former eating habit cravings. But that's to be expected and I feel great so I hold that higher than momentary meaty food pleasure. I see the going vegan thing as immersion therapy. I wanted to go hard, all the way and thrive and expand my cooking skills. I came to the realization today though that after this month I'll likely be going vegetarian full time. Meat is easy for me to give (save for the aforementioned cravings occasionally) up. I've been really turned off by the meat and poultry industry on a whole and I don't think I'll miss it. <br /><br />Veganism is more than a diet, it's a lifestyle and a very informed and strict one at that (albeit delicious and completely cruelty-free which is what makes it worth it). There are so many facets to consider- hair products, makeup, skin care, clothing, furniture, etc. It's actually baffling to me how many things have animal products and animal derivatives in them! But I'm checking my labels and carrying on. <br /><br />Jeez, this was a long comment, sorry about that!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13808888025816733460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75479263476149564.post-307052070282402702011-01-04T12:33:47.745-07:002011-01-04T12:33:47.745-07:00Been away from your blog for too long, but I'm...Been away from your blog for too long, but I'm FINALLY catching up!

I don't think I could ever become vegan - I love my meat too much - but I can't understand hating on someone because of what they choose not to eat. especially since you are doing it for <i>you</i> to try something different. I think it's great what you're doing and I hope you don't let what the haters say get to you. because you're challenging yourself and inspiring tons of others.<br /><br />good luck!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16799898294011686549noreply@blogger.com
