Any Vegans?
Balditicus Maximus:
Hi all,
I'm a vegan myself; and am just curious if there are any other vegan baldies out there.
John:
No, but if my employer had any say about it I would be. I am an RN at a Seventh Day Adventist hospital. No meat or caffeine is served in either of our cafeterias, and I just got an email from administration suggesting that I give the vegan lifestyle a try. By the way, we on the night shift bring our own caffeine!
Glenr:
I dabbled with a raw food diet for a while and whilst it make me feel good, I lost so much weight and muscle tone I decided to drop it. I didn't do it for any moral reason I was just experimenting with diets.
BaldBen:
My wife is trying to get me on the Vegan side of SLY.
However, there must be something in my DNA that would simply make it impossible for me to be a full-fledged vegetarian. Although I eat what I consider to be a healthful diet, I'm still sometimes craving meat, sweets and fats.
Are there other foods that can help draw me away from these unhealthful cravings?
I recently found some alternative snacks at Trader Joe's.
But they're a bit too salty!!

There are some really great fake-meat options available these days. If you're eating meat and you try them, you'll think they come up short. But if you're not eating meat and you try them, they seem pretty darn meaty. My wife and I eat the burgers, hot dogs, Italian sausages, bologna, turkey and ground beef crumbles. And once you step away from meat, sweets and fats you tend to lose the cravings. At least I did.
Ben, is your wife vegan? I think it would be difficult to have a 'mixed marriage'.
