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.

Shannon: Keeping Things in Perspective

Nobody is perfect at everything they do including vegans.... and especially new vegans! Laura and I are learning this as we go.

Looking at Laura's blog yesterday it is apparent that she feels guilty for a recent 'dairy' incident. She refers to a cheat day... but it was actually only one cup of froyo. The rest of the day she made healthy choices. Laura - stop beating yourself up... you are a smart, compassionate, HOT vegan and that one cup of froyo is not going to change the impact you're making for yourself and the world around you! Keep rocking it...

So I have to admit that I took a free pass the other night while out for sushi.... my first and only free pass during this two month journey. I ate vegan all day, but had one piece of salmon sashimi at dinner. I used to thoroughly enjoy this little morsel of heaven, but this time around it was only ok. As a vegan I get to indulge in all sorts of other great foods everyday so I'm not craving really any naughty foods. I just chose to be naughty!

Here is a new favorite dish of mine - Fried Udon Noodles - udon noodles, onion, garlic green cabbage, carrots, olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper.
