It does take an enormous amount of research and work to be a proper vegan. The only true vegan I know is a nutritionist by training. There are certainly lots of other ways to improve our diets. Eliminating processed food is one way. Try to eat food that is as close as possible to its original state. If organic food is available I always select that.
It requires more work to eat healthy than not. Fresh foods don't have the shelf life that processed foods have, so more trips to the market are required. You just have to make the commitment. But it's not nearly as work-intensive as going vegan
