I really am not sure why this sounds fun to me. I like a challenge I guess. I'm expecting it to challenge me mentally, physically, and spiritually. I'm trying to think of Veganism as a lifestylem more than it is just a diet. Let me clarify that I'm not making a moral or ethical stance on the eating or treatment of animals. However there is significant data showing that the typical American diet is not sustainable, we can't produce enough food to continue eating the way we do. I'll explore more sustainability and environmental liberal garb later. But the point is, I'm doing this to challenge myself and maybe later I'll make a stance on something.
So vegans don't eat or consume anything that is or comes from something that at one point in time had a face. No meat, no seafood. No dairy which means no cheese, no yogurt, no butter, and worst of all no chocolate. No animal product includes honey, and also means no Burt's Bees chapstick. I'm still going to wear my leather gloves and shoes, b/c that cow died for food, I'm making good use of the by-products.
Relax, I AM doing research on dietary needs and nutrition. I have vegan multi-vitamins and protein shakes.
