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.

@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.

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.

@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.

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).
