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.

The End?

Well, it's been real.  I've been a vegan for 2 months and loved it.  Now, the question on everyone's mind..."Will you stay vegan or stop now that the experiment is over?"
Short answer: yes
Medium answer: yes, but it depends on the situation.
Long answer: yes, as long as I don't majorly inconvenience anyone, and I make an effort to be vegan the majority of the time.  If it's a special occasion (ie. friend's bday) or if I'm out with people and there are no vegan options or if I'm about to faint because I'm starving and there is only pizza in front of my face, then I will indulge.  Otherwise, I'll do my best to stick to my values and stay healthy and be a vegan lifer!

Thanks for all your support, friends!!  We did it!
