A new year is here, and with it come new things. I went off the vegan wagon for quite awhile. It started out with a vacation, and ended up lasting about a year! I finally found my way back though. I was tired of feeling sick and tired. It's only been a few days now that I've been eating purely vegan, but I already have more energy and don't find myself wanting to sleep all day long.
I love fruits and vegetables, and I'm also a huge fan of tofu. I prefer tofu over most of the faux meat products out there. The ground soy burger is pretty decent, though. The hardest part about being vegan for me is not eating cheese. I LOVE my cheese, and so far, the vegan counterparts leave a lot to be desired.
I've also noticed that it's gotten less expensive to be a vegan, as organic and meat alternative products are becoming cheaper and more widely available. More people than ever are choosing to eat organic and local food. Even if you don't choose a vegan lifestyle, you can greatly impact the food industry by buying organic, local and non-GMO products.
If you have any questions about anything I've mentioned, or have questions about veganism, let me know. I'd love for you to join me on this journey!
Whatever your choices, I hope you have a happy and healthy 2014!
