While I've been vegan for over a year now, I've yet to fully embrace preaching the importance of it, not only for my friends, but for their future and for the future of our environment. I'm not going to rant and rave, but simply comment on a few things I noticed over the last five days. Yesterday was 14 months vegan and my 20th vegetarian.
- I can no longer handle the smell of cooked eggs, a food I used to eat daily.
- I'm appreciating spices more and realizing protein without them was never appetizing.
- Encasing one part of an animal into another part of it is not a normal thing.
- Vegan nachos are simply nachos that don't stick together.
- Most cheeses sold in America, add nothing to the flavor of most meals.
- With the right spices, tofu and cauliflower makes a damn fine burger.
- Finding fat substitutes, for flavor, has been the single biggest challenge.
- Most booze is vegan.
- Ben & Jerry's non-dairy ice cream, Endangered Species chocolates and vegan cupcakes!
- Protein isn't the problem you'd think it is.
- Most people will make a joke, but then are shocked to find out how tasty your food is.
- Be careful with vegetarian restaurants. Don't assume they're vegan friendly.
- I find I add less salt to dishes, but be careful. Canned fruits and veggies are loaded.
- Some meals take literally seconds to make.
- An apple is a lot of food. So is a whole cucumber.
And here are the three best reasons
Losing weight without trying
Animals in the wild tend to come closer to you
Pooping has never been easier, cleaner and more regular
You're welcome for that last bit of info 😉
Three cheers for booze! Lunatic
