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.

Mardi Gras

Shannon and I started out this experiment with the primary goal of living a vegan lifestyle for our health and the health of the environment.  Any other positive result would be a bonus.  So far, I would consider this experiment to be highly successful.  Not only have we been happily vegan for nearly two weeks, but we've reduced pollution, saved animal lives, felt healthy, and increased awareness about veganism to the 250 people who've checked out our blog.  We've even caught wind of a couple people interested in trying veganism now too!


Day 12 Food Journal:
-oatmeal, .5 kiwi, small strawberry/mango smoothie
-vegan chili, salad, .17 oz dark chocolate
-diet coke (I admit it)
-leftover veggies with spelt pasta, sorbet with carob chips and mochi, popcorn, red wine (it was Mardi Gras, OK???)
