Veg.or Vegan????

What is a Vegan?

When you consume no animal products, use products (cleaning agents, etc.) without animals in them and wear no animal products, or the best you can help it. There are so many products out there that people wouldn't think have animal by-products in them but do, so it can be hard to be completely and totally vegan.

I tried about 6 months ago to become a vegetarian, and I went a week. But the harassment from my family and friends was too much for me Especially from my family, they are huge meat eaters and couldn't understand why I no longer want to eat meat. In the fall I'm going away to college so I will definatley give it another shot then!

I haven't eaten meat for a week now! I'm still eating seafood, so I'm not a 'vegetarian', but I'd like to stop eating it someday too...
It's not so hard for me, since I never liked meat very much, but I feel the pressure from my parents and friends... Everybody eats meat in Argentina, and in really big amounts!

Make sure you eat a big variety of fruits, veggies and beans, and you will be fine (Veggie burgers are really good!) You should also try to get enough iron... Lentils are great for this!

Bri, I have the opposite problem. I don't like my food too textury so soy and tofu is like my heaven. If I saw meat sitting in front of me, the longer I stare at it, the more likley I'm NOT going to eat it. I start thinking about gaging on a vein or some springy peace of fat that tasts like rubber *shutter* Chick (soy) patties by morningstar farm are really good, as well as their mini corn soy dogs. Smart Dogs are my fav, you should try them. My parents basically raised us on soy, lean meat, and organic foods. We got Gushers the other day and we all went crazy, "OMG I want one! I want two packets! These are soooooo good!" lol
