When I became vegetarian, I never thought that I would go as far as dropping animal products altogether... But then I thought: 1. I LOVE animals. 2. I care about the environment. 3. I eat too much cheese and ranch and cookies. 4. There are millions people around the world who practice veganism and it is possible!
Gotta tell you transitioning was pretty tough... Cheese cravings were nothing in comparison to desire for milk chocolate! And shopping at Walmart became almost impossible. I would buy fruit and some veggies but that was about it... However, for the past 2 weeks I had something containing animal product only twice or so. I am full of energy, I feel healthy and I feel GOOD for two apparent reasons:
a. I do not consume dairy and egg industry that exploits animals as if they are born "to give us stuff".
b. I realized that I actually have pretty strong power of will and I will not be a prisoner of food (even if it is New York Cheesecake!).
For those who are considering veganism as an option can recommend "Becoming Vegan" by Davis&Melina. All the facts you need to know, including meal plans for children, pregnant and athletes!
Anyway, I gotta be on this blog a little more often :)
Something off the topic: why is everyone getting married and has kids??? I mean my lil cousing who is 18 (!!) is getting married this year! All my classmates from home have kids who are 2-3 years old! I am not feeling that tendency... AT ALL!
