The concept of going vegan can seem pretty darn daunting, especially to those of us that thoroughly enjoy our Kentucky Fried Chicken strips and thick gravy over turkey. If you really read up on it though, you'll soon realize it's not half bad! When you read about all the environmental, health, and humanity detriments meat consumption has, you'll begin to look a little differently at the burger in front of you. People who understand that trailers of animal cruelty will sway their opinion on animal product consumption/use often don't watch them. This is rather ridiculous, however, because they need not fear the 'inconvenience' of become a vegan. Half of what you eat is probably close to vegan, and the other half can be changed easily! What's more, is that "veganization" can be a slow and gradual process. No one's saying you must do it all NOW. Try some new recipes and taste test new dishes at your favorite restaurant; you'll soon realize vegan food is GOOD. Here's a day in the life:
Breakfast: Gooood morning dark skies and freezing floors on my bare toes. Yawn, stretch, grumble. Time to bust out some food.
Oatmeal (good ole old fashioned oats with water) with maple syrup. I usually eat a cup of oatmeal (1/2 a cup uncooked) with 1/2 a teaspoon of the maple syrup because it's just soo sweet!
Snack:
Part of a Clif bar (not all varieties are necessarily vegan so double check...double YUM!)
Lunch:
PB&J on a Bagel Thin with Beanie Salad
Snack:
Apple with Peanut Butter
Dinner:
Steamed Broccoli and Cauliflower, Tofu Stir Fry,Rice
Dessert:
Soygurt
There are more meals than you think that have vegan alternatives and you can discover millions of them online or in a cookbook!
