I was watching some talk show (read: Oprah rerun) on which Alicia Silverstone was discussing her decision to become vegan and promoting her book The Kind Diet. Now, if I were playing a word association game and was given the word "vegan," my response, without hesitation, would be RIDICULOUS. I can handle the vegetarians because, as an animal lover, I kind of get it. But, no dairy? Well, now that is taking it too far. I immediately adopted this dismissive attitude when I heard her say something like THIS (skip to minute 2:30) regarding her decision to become vegan. Obviously such a statement deserves the eye roll that I gave it. But, I continued listening to her blabber on about how she felt noticeably different after going vegan- she claims to have better skin, bright eyes, more energy, and better sleep. I am totally doubtful that eating Chick-fil-A is really causing me to experience skin, energy, and sleep on sub-par levels. SO...I have decided to try it out and document my 30 days of being a vegan on this blog. I initially selected 21 days because I have heard (read: seen it on Oprah) before that it is a good span of time to try the vegan way of eating, but have decided that 21 days really makes no sense at all so I'm going with 30 days. I can do anything for a month...
THE RULES:
No meat: cow, pig, poultry, fish, etc.
No dairy: cheese, eggs, or milk from any animal
Stay tuned...
