Now the term 'vegan' has got some bad wrap over the past few years (more years than I can remember), with people declaring themselves vegan and claiming others aren't vegan because they aren't 100% pure... B-S! This came to the humour of majority of the vegan population as 'vegan-levels' and all I can say is that this is inconsistent garbage. Nobody is perfect, unless you were lucky enough to be born into a vegan family, you will have gone through a transitioning period; and terms like 'levels' really do make this process a lot harder... especially when the levels are constantly changing and you haven't got a clue whether you are a level 1 vegan or a level 5 vegan... frankly... who cares! We're all fighting the same people aren't we?
One of the first questions you get asked when you declare yourself vegan is 'well what are you going to eat now?'... well didn't I eat fruit and vegetables before? Clearly not! *Sarcasm...* Followed by... 'But why would you do that to yourself?'
My question to you is... why wouldn't you?
Are you still brainwashed?
Are you scared of losing bacon?
Are you going to declare that because we have pointy teeth that we were built to eat meat?
or are you...
going to fight for what you believe in?
going to fight for your health?
going to fight for this planet?
going to fight for the right to party... oops... sorry got a bit carried away there *blush*
See veganism isn't all about the animals anymore... there are so many elements of society that can be helped through a vegan diet... and I'm going to explore them!
- Regular diary update... how is the lifestyle going?
- Food diary... see what I am eating for the week
- Health updates... can I shift this weight?
- Recipes... because we all love food!
Please follow and add me to your circles... I will be posting regular recipes and stories of how I am finding the vegan lifestyle. From the highs to the lows... and there will probably be quite a few lows!
