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
Really? I went vegan with very little research. Almost none.

I just used substitutions. Boca for hamburger, vegan lunchmeat for sandwichs, earth balance butter, soymilk, rice dream ice cream, amys frozen pizzas, oatmeal with dark chocolate chips, mock chicken salad (delicious on sourdough,) etc.

What's so hard about it exactly? Are you vegan?
