You don't have to achieve perfection. The point is simply to keep learning and growing. Your direction matters more than your current state. You'll be able to stop eating altogether when you die, so your ongoing footprint will eventually be zero no matter what.

I have more respect for the meat-eater who seeks continued improvement than for the vegan who says, "I'm done."
thank you for your encouragement.






now for everyone, the following is a brief update on my diet.

in summery, entering week five of my vegan diet i began feel poor. the air seemed cooler to my skin. everything seemed twice as heavy. once i started eating eggs i began feeling strong, happy and energetic.

interestingly, i was getting iron daily. also, i ate at least 40 grams of plant protein daily.

here is my blog entry, in expanded form, about coming out of a vegan diet trying eggs, fish and yogurt. blogging about my diet at JoeGoldfarb.com

I AM STILL WALKING THE ROAD!
it appears my body and mind where not synced up.

even though i provided food diet details, i am not expected anyone to analyze my diet. i just wanted to provide an update on my path.

and this part of the road taught me that I CAN eat more plants... with respect
