The Vegan Experience, Day 11: Diversity Through Restriction
Mentioning to a coworker that all of my birthday plans involved eating, as eating is my favorite thing, he replied, "But there is barely anything you can eat!?" (As a vegetarian).
I reminded him that most people eat just 4 kinds of animals, after taking those out, I have a whole lot of vegetables, fruits, grains, cheeses ect. left. It really does force you to be more creative with the different types of meals you make and I think if I returned to eating meat I would make much better meals with all the experience I now have with preparing vegetables.

Having been critical of other posts, I just want to say I thought this was was great!
The Vegan Experience, Day 5: Say No To Faux
I think we all make small choices everyday in which we try to make the world a better place, but no one ever completely sacrifices every aspect of their life to live the most 'good' life possible. I don't understand why vegans have to be held to this regaurd. For me (as a vegetarian) there are many many things wrong with the most prominent system of raising animals for slaughter in this country. So one way I try to do 'good' is to avoid this system. I know that raising animals in a natural environment is part of the ecosystem, or circle of life if you will, and never have thought that no one should eat meat. But I find it exhausting to be the person (like that Portlandia sketch) asking in a restaurant what kind of life a chicken lived, so it is easier for me just to not eat meat.
I don't think this means that if I am not concerned with worms killed while harvesting produce that it invalidates my decision. It is like saying someone has no reason to choose a hybrid car because they are still choosing to drive, I don't think that since you can't adhere 100% to an ethical principle means that you shouldn't try at all.
