Today is the day. Annie McDonnell a fellow vegetarian at Kent and I have decided we are going to try out being vegan for a month. The official start date is June 1st, 2010. Until then, I will eat my remaining bag of shrimp, finish my eggs and gorge on sushi!
I have considered going vegan for about 6 months now. I read Alicia Silverstone's book "The Kind Diet" and wanted to take the final steps to go vegan. Unfortunately, being a college student in a small town has prevented this from happening. There is one Natural Food Co-op that is smaller than Starbucks and is pretty expensive.
I graduate on Saturday and am moving home to Columbus. A much bigger city with tons of vegetarian/vegan restaurants makes me think this might be possible. Also, the availability and, in turn, affordability of natural, organic products makes this more feasible now. Granted I will still miss sushi..and chocolate..and eggs..but I can do it, at least for a month.
WISH ANNIE AND I LUCK!
This makes me happy! I am in the same boat and am making a gradual switch to veganism which I will finally make it to 100% when I move to Columbus as well. I'm glad you're keeping a blog of it! Can't wait to read more.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with this sis!! Proud of you.
ReplyDeleteGood luck babe! Maybe Craig and I will do it for a week.
ReplyDeleteIf I can do it for 4 months and counting then I know you and Liz can do it! You two should try reading Skinny Bitch by Rory Freedman if you haven't already.
