Well, I've been eating a vegan (mostly raw) diet for a week now, and I gotta tell you.... I honestly don't miss meat one bit. In fact, the thought of eating it right now actually repulses me.
Yesterday for lunch, we went to Salad Galley and I ordered a huge vegetarian sandwich on wheat bread. It was DELICIOUS! I almost couldn't believe it didn't have meat in it. I also had some sort of garden broccoli pasta salad which was pretty darn good too!
Today, I took a day off of work so I've been searching through the fridge and cupboards wondering what to eat for lunch. I ended up cooking up some organic whole-wheat spaghetti noodles and put some mushroom/herb/garlic spaghetti sauce on top. With that, I had some perfectly steamed carrots, onions and asparagus. Wow! It tasted awesome!
I'm looking forward to continuing this way of eating for the remainder of my 30 day trial. But in the end, if I'm enjoying it this much and feeling this great, I suspect this will become a new way of life for me.
It actually feels really good doing it for health, ethical and environmental reasons. To me, it all just makes good sense.
BTW, I'm halfway through The China Study book. What an eye-opener that is!!!
