VEGAN POETRY

After ten years of struggle, I FINALLY ate my last piece of meat. My next struggle: Becoming Vegan. This blog will feature the ups and down on the long and booby-trapped road to a more compassionate way of eating. Fuck ups WILL be included.

Hunger Hurts, But Starving Works

I'm a stubborn son of a bitch.
Goes hand in hand with being a taurus.
Which I think, is why I am giving this Vegan experiment my best shot.

So far today - I had a glass of soy milk, a bowl of granola and a banana for breakfast.
A bottle of water and a bowl of INSTANT vegan chili for lunch + a green apple.

In the words of yoda:

Tastey, it was. But hungry, I still am.

While I am not about to rip into a big ole STEAK anytime soon - or EVER - a nice dinner role and some butter woulda went oh-so-nice with this small bowl of vegan chili.

Oh! I also had a granola bar as a mid-morning snack.

Went home - sliced up a cucumber - big son of a bitch about 15 inches - doused it with some vegetable oil and vinegar, some freshly ground pepper and ground seasalt, and harfed it back, then ate two rice cakes with a piece of soy fake mozzarella (nuked, and yes - it DOES melt) and then washed it all down with some wah-wah and a slice of veg-cajun chicken lunchmeat.
Gross.
God only KNOWS how you make lunchmeat, minus the meat.
"Compassionate, young Daniel," I think to myself. It is my Mantra. "Compassionate."

Ending off the night with a long walk and a bottle of Tropical Mist fruit wine.
Vegan, and BOY does it pack a punch.

So far, so Vegan...

night for tonight,

Dan

the ones i have don't though, they were "vegan approved" apparently...hahaha...but good call. i've become one of those annoying people who spends, like, a minute and a half reading the label of EACH product i pick up - including the fine print.
frightening.
