How to do a vegan fast without losing your sanity Part 1.

Nice idea.

I actually ate at a purely vegan restaurant in Portland Oregon (maybe it wasn't in the city itself, but nearby). It had "Vegan cheese," and a bunch of other stuff like that. I can't remember it's name though.

Thank you for posting this. Frankly, it is difficult enough to find vegetarian food on the menue of most restaurants over here!

I'm currently an omnivore, but I understand and agree with the moral arguments for vegetarianism/veganism, and would like to change, but I'm too damn addicted to meat. Also, while I could potentially see myself going Lacto-ovo-vegetarian, I like cheese and eggs too much to consider veganism. At least for the near future.

I'm not a vegetarian, but, I've grown to really like vegetarian food over the years and eat it a couple times a week. I don't care for soy cheese 'though. I grew up in Wisconsin :) I love real cheese. I just don't like the way they treat animals for food. You can treat them humanely. We had goats for milk and I've raised chickens as pets (not food).

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I didn't know you were a vegan! I am a vegan/atheist and I love how you fit the same niche that I do!

@mullen2105

No problem.

Skepty dear, love you, but you have fallen into the loose/lose trap. Thanks for the good nutrition info! Loose your mind by all means- you have a worthy mind, but definitely don't lose it. (Sorry for being a grammar nazi but titular fails make me cringe)

@badpetunia

Yeah I just changed it. Thanks though.

[badpetunia]

@Skepticktok You caught it before I told you no doubt. How hard do you think it would be to go vegan or even vegetarian for me who is allergic to nuts (severely) and intolerant to wheat. Any thoughts?

[Skepticktok]

@badpetunia

You have a tree nut allergy? Wow...and you're not good with soy either? It might be tough but you might be able to do some kind of frutarian thing. I'm not an expert though.

[badpetunia]

@Skepticktok its always a problem sorting through what i can and can't eat because I'm also allergic to poultry (that obviously didn't seem relevant to the vegan diet issue) but I grew up attatched to red meat and fish. I'm starting to really be bothered by inhumane treatment of animal as you are. We keep chickens too and though I couldn't eat their meat even if I could ever dream of butchering one, I'm not sure if I could go without those delicious eggs. Thanks for your example.

(con't) after years of stereotypes against vegans and vegetarians, it is still hard to try and have people attempt to try a vegan fast. But I think it is slowly gaining more ground and becoming more popular so people don't think we are aliens from another planet or something. :)

@fruitikay

Oh thanks for the kind words.

I want to give you a hug. :) I have been vegetarian since Feb, but am trying to go vegan. It is SUCH a great and healthy diet and is awesome for detox. My suggestion to people is to go very slow. If you wean yourself off things slowly, it will be much easier to change your eating habits. It is all about changing eating habits. People don't realize how much of our food has animal products in them. I can find barely anything when I'm dining out. I ask those weird questions too lol. (con't)
