 |  Starting to go vegan, need help
I have decided to go vegan, but I have no idea where to start. hat food should I eat? Is there any good recipes or suggestions for food out there? Plus, since I still live with my mom (I am 17, after all), she needs me to drink milk. Cow milk. I have to, and, I notice a severe drop in the clarity of my mind. What is a man to do? :\ |

Since you're still 17, living with your mother, it can be difficult. Try talking with your mother about why you want to go vegan. Research more on the benefits, and present your case, so to speak. Don't be argumentative about it, though. Keep in mind that she will probably think this is just a "late teen rebellious" stage. You can nip this in the bud by addressing this issue. As far as what to eat, simply cutting meat and dairy is a start. GoVeg.com is a good place to begin looking at vegan alternetives. Click "Recipes" there. PETA is many things, but "withholder" of information, they an't. There's also plenty of meat replacements. I... used to eat Chik'n Patties from Boca. As far as milk, research and see how much better for you soy milk is for you, and how it can give you the same "benefits" that doctors tout cow milk to give you. Good luck!  |

Hey, good luck with getting your mom to agree with you! I am also 17 and I feel you (but I don't live at home anymore). If you are interested in vegan recipes, you might want to check my website out (it's in my signature). Anyway, good luck!  |
