OK so I know I have put a shelf life on being a vegan I started on the 28th December 2013 and I am aiming to make the year - I am actually going to a wedding on the 28th December 2014 so I have always had it in my mind that I will break then. Saying that, I am actually really enjoying being a vegan - it's making me re-address how I eat, forcing me to make friends with new foods (hello Mr.Carrot) and I am feeling good.
But vegan's I have noticed (on Facebook) like to play the 'I am way more vegan than you' game. So I am lying it out for you and you can take me as I am.
In my house when I am cooking (and I do the cooking at home) I am completely vegan - no honey, no eggs, no meat, fish, dairy...nuttin. When I am out of the house (or getting takeaways) I am a little more lax, I order the veggie choice without cheese/sour cream/mayo... but I am not the guy asking if my veggie burger is made with cheese or egg or if fish or chicken stock has been used in the preparation of my vegetables in satay sauce. I live with my two children and husband who are not vegan so I cook meat and eggs, pour milk, and grate cheese. I make the cuppa round at work and pour milk there too! I would not force my views on them, but they are eaten a bigger selection of food and often fully vegan meals as a result of my diet... and I try to take vegan snacks to share at events.
I wear leather shoes - but since becoming a vegan I haven't bought leather shoes. The same with wool and silk clothing. I am trying to reduce the amount of clothing I buy and aim to buy organic cotton when it's an option.
So there it is...
