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.

I feel spoiled!

Am I missing out on anything scrumptious? Do I feel devoid of yummy food options?  Yes and no.
Yes, I have been missing out on scrumptious things - I haven't let you hear the end of it, right?  Cupcakes, froyo, milk chocolate treats, birthday cake, baked goods -everywhere. ha! I clearly have a sweet tooth.  Thanks, Mom.  But the foods that I'm missing the most are the worst for me any way! I should feel better without all those sweets and fat in my life.  Although, admittedly, there is still a bit of sugar in my life, but not nearly as much as usual. (By the way, standard cane sugar is considered by some to be non-vegan, since it's processed with trace amounts of animal bone/carbon. Choose "raw sugar" options.)
No, I do not feel devoid of yummy foods. Have you been reading my food journal? Delicious, right?  I've been eating like a queen and probably need to cut back. Can you say "guacamole OD?"  When I'm surrounded by fresh, tasty, non-processed foods, it's like eating vegan gourmet all day every day. YUM!
