Dottie's thread about voting for her and her husband led me on a little path through the PETA site and now I am totally grossed out by factory farming and want to stop eating meat. Other threads have been making me question things too. Thanks SW! I love you guys.![]()
I was vegan for three years, but gave up because of poverty and lack of a good nutritional understanding. I wasn't all that healthy, and I actually gained weight because I overloaded on carbs. I didn't know that I had to eat certain foods or take supplements to combat my meat cravings. I did it all wrong, but now I want to do it again right.
And (thankfully) Jess is going to join me. This also means that Kembra will have a meat-free diet.
I want to do this with lots of recipes and a "support net" of resources so that I don't fail this time. We are doing this gradually too, so that it's not a complete shock. It's a transition to hopefully becoming fully vegan again. I just can't stand that I am supporting industries that profit off the misery and death of animals.
Does anyone have any help, tips, encouragement to offer?

There are two cheeses I've found that I like: Tofutti Anerican cheese slices. Also Follow Your Heart/Vegan Gourmet cheddar. Fucken great for grilled cheese, to melt into soups, shred onto tacos...I swear! I also use a lot of nutritional yeast for a "cheesy" taste.
Be strong, fiercest sister!

This time around though I'm not trying vegan. I'm still eating dairy occasionally.

This is almost identical to something i would think/say
