While we have been vegetarian and Not-Just-Recipes is one of our proudest efforts, we feel it's time for us to take the next step. <br /><br />We may well end up where you are - somewhere in between and doing both - as the cheese is one of the hardest things for me (I likes my pizza) and haven't found a vegan cheese I thought was worth more that using it as a handy eraser.<br /><br />So...I continue to admire you and follow your posts and we will keep you apprised of the effort as we tackle the 21 Day Kickstart.<br /><br />Thanks for all you do to keep us informed, laughing and appreciating the journey we are all making through this world!<br /><br />RichRichhttp://www.not-just-recipes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828932463444568178.post-58388258874586409172010-08-24T17:10:00.402-04:002010-08-24T17:10:00.402-04:00Thank you so much for all the comments everyone - ...Thank you so much for all the comments everyone - and yes, I am still doing some vegan meals - but had to be honest that they are not all vegan.

Try to see it this way: n...Awww, I'm sorry too. Try to see it this way: nothing we endeavor to do is easy at first. If you wanted to learn knitting or archery, wouldn't it take you a while to get the hang of it? Veganism is the same thing.<br /><br />The truth is we don't make ethical choices because they are "easy." Doing something that *isn't* easy is what puts us to the test. <br /><br />In my experience too, there is some expense during the transition period. But many people over time pass up the mock meats, fake cheeses, pastries, and other processed foods and start eating healthy whole foods, which are a lot cheaper. <br /><br />I love(d) eggs too. And butter, and brie. But it's been a long time, and I don't miss them. Now I can look at those foods without being tempted, because (a) I've lost the taste for them and (b) they just represent cruelty to me.Suasoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14054542652794407594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828932463444568178.post-66562981639440250412010-08-18T06:10:02.937-04:002010-08-18T06:10:02.937-04:00oh im so feeling you...i think im starting over ag...oh im so feeling you...i think im starting over again...i stumbled upon you blog...i needed to know i was not alone playing hooky for a while...ill start agian...many thanks and laughsMake14Me.Comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299596780277064830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828932463444568178.post-66916475064672605262010-08-17T20:59:55.497-04:002010-08-17T20:59:55.497-04:00I'm sorry you had a difficult experience with ...I'm sorry you had a difficult experience with giving up animal-derived foods. I'm not sure why you found it so hard as my experience has been incredibly easy (for the past 12 years). Can I just say that if you spend more money in buying cage-free eggs, don't bother as they are just as cruel as regular eggs. I hope you can continue to include vegan meals going forward. <br /><br />All the bestMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13219189194578636060noreply@blogger.com
