I also resolve to try out vegan eating. Because of a throat problem I have a lot of trouble swallowing certain foods (breads and meats being at the top of the list). Aside from the hatred I have for animal cruelty (though I don’t disapprove of the eating of animal meat, I do hate the way that animals are treated and the fact that they are ‘grown’ like crops only for the sake of slaughter- where animals are hunted ‘fairly’ for food I am not opposed, I know that sounds contradictory to a lot of people, but it’s not) this is a very good reason to try them out. It’s very embarassing to choke on your food several times a day. I have already eliminated meat from my breakfast and lunch almost completely, it will be nice to have meat-free days that give my family the meals they crave.
This isn’t to say ‘I’m going Vegan!’ but that I want to explore the ‘lifestyle’. It only dawned on me at dinner tonight that it would probably be a lot easier for me to swallow fake chicken than real chicken (vegetables rarely give me trouble).
I enjoy cooking, and I enjoy vegetables and beans. I’ll start with meals and work on desserts later.
I think this could be fun.
