yea. dont.
and if you do, remember not to each bread that was made with yeast, for yeast is a live animal that expands when cooked!
to be a vegan you can’t eat hardly anything. My best advice is to do it gradually from the way you talk you probably don’t eat meat so you’d need to make sure that you cute out milk , cheese, eggs , breads, which you probably already know, you’ll want to take a multi-vitamin to supplement for the nutrients your losing. And be prepared to feel really sick until your body gets used to the changes, Best of Luck to you!
There is no “easy” or stress-free way. Especially if you are young. You have to be disciplined. Anyone who tells you it’s “easy” doesn’t know what they are talking about.
“True” vegans in other cultures have been conditioned by centuries of customs, traditions, folk wisdom and spiritual practice to live as vegans. The Jains of India are a prime example. “Modern” vegans, just don’t cut it. You would be better off using your energy for animal rights in working with a reputable (NOT PETA) animal rights group rather than spending a wasted life foraging for food, being socially isolated, and harming yourself physically.
Ignorance is bliss, as you can see from previous posts. Educate yourself on what veganism entails. If you want it badly enough, you’ll do it. If you don’t, you won’t. It’s pretty cut and dried. You learn along the way. Open yourself to trying new foods. The healthier you eat, the healthier you’ll want to eat. The bulk of your diet should be fresh produce whether you’re omni or vegan, anyway. Add in some beans, rice, whatever else you want. Take a B complex every once in a while or get your b12 levels tested and you’re good to go. You can also be like many of us vegans who still appreciate junkfood and just get vegan versions of it (Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, anyone?)
Meat analogs are convenient and many of us like them. They aren’t a necessity to a vegan diet, but a luxury so don’t feel that you have to purchase them.
If you’re a vegetarian already, then it’s not hard. If you’re going from being an omnivore to being a vegan, I imagine it would be harder and you might want to do it more gradually.
Ignore nonsense about wasted lives, foraging for food and social isolation. We get our food in shops just like anyone else; yes there’s a bit of label reading involved if you’re buying processed food, but so there is for anyone concerned with eating healthily (a ‘flexitarian’ for example).
Isolating yourself socially because of what you eat is psychotic, not vegan. I don’t know any ‘socially isolated’ vegans – your social life will continue to be the same as it always has been.
And no harm will come to you physically – not as a result of your diet anyway – as long as you make sure you get a balanced diet, which is not the rocket science many omnivores here make it out to be.
Good luck.
ok well hun if you think that i should get that expensive crap then you can pay for it if it on big deal did you ever consider that i don’t have the money for it
