Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Hello, my name is Chuck. I have been a vegetarian for about three years and I still can't seem to get enough motivation to become vegan even though I'm profoundly disgusted by factory farming and human arrogance and violence against animals. I think it may be due to the fact that I'm 18 and can't afford much, and I haven't been able to afford much since I was born. Any suggestions?

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 hmm i assume you eat a lot of processed foods, correct? ok, now, while those might seem cheap and effiecient, think of the actual costs, in wastes, manufacturing, etc vegetables aren'tt that expensive, if you comparrision shop, you find yer bills actually go down, trust me!! i was homeless when i first went vegan, and it was hard, but once i figured it out, and stayed away from local licqour stores for food, it was smooth sailing!!! good luck fraggle resistsociety999 wrote: >Hello, my name is Chuck. > I have been a vegetarian for about three years and I still can't >seem to get enough motivation to become vegan even though I'm >profoundly disgusted by factory farming and human arrogance and >violence against animals.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Actually, your assumption was inaccurate. I don't like processed foods (if by that you mean veggie hot dogs and burgers) though occasionally my friend Alex makes TVP tacos. When I went vegan for a couple of weeks my diet was rather small. Green peppers, spinache pie, rice, and spegetti with tomato sauce. After that small amount of time I felt impoverished. My friend Chris, (who is still vegan I believe) tells me I should order a bunch of dietary supplement pills. Though I'm not all about diet pills and processed soy. and I don't really like the veggies at my local super market 'cause they're all grown with such high levels of chemicals. and my lawn isn't large enough to grow an adequate sized garden. Let me know what ya think, Cheers!

It can be difficult to be vegan, especially to start with. It does take quite a bit of time to read labels, and know what they mean, and to find cheap and quick recipes. Eating out as a vegan is usually possible, but can be a bit boring, unless you like baked potatoes and salad - but then it's worth putting up with that to be vegan, and socialise. Any - good luck.
