Inspired by Alicia Silverstone's "The Kind Diet" and Michael Pollan's "In Defense of Food," we want to experience the vegan lifestyle to improve our health, boycott animal suffering, and reduce our carbon footprint.

2 weeks down, a lifetime to go!

Two weeks into this eight week experiment, and I'm feeling good.  I'd like to think that this will end up as a permanent lifestyle adjustment. In addition to the many benefits that will come of this, I have learned so much about being a vegan and how to live my life with less of a carbon footprint. Also, I've discovered new foods that I would never have considered eating (ie. daikon, kelp noodles, pearl barley, soy cheese, Earth Balance "butter," and trumpet mushrooms!)

Day 14 Food Journal:
-oatmeal; mushrooms & spinach
-chili, salad
-2 diet cokes, apple
-2 slices of Patxi's Chicago-style pizza - vegan style!!  Soy cheese, whole wheat crust, mushrooms, onions. DELICIOUS! red wine, pilsner beer
