I've decided to go vegan... It's Week One... so...we'll see how it pans out. But for the short term at least, I am going to be a very conscious eater.
There are many reasons (and we all know why)...I want to be more self sufficient and not rely on wee animals, it's the 21st century - we're educated and it's easy to stay healthy, the environmental impact, it's lower in fat and better for my heart and cholesterol...
...and one look at the PETA website is enough to turn anyone's gastronomic habits in a better direction! Ack, let's face it who wants to eat tortured animals.
There's a whole world of amazing, simple and delicious food out there that doesn't involve any animal participation. I've cooked nachos, vege burgers, spinach quiche, pesto pasta, mushroom steaks and actually... I think I may actually eating BETTER than I was before!
As I type a delicious chocolate cake is bubbling away in my oven! And it's totally guilt-free...well, almost... I didn't say fat-free did I!
UPDATE: The chocolate cake was terrible...and so was the second attempt...hmm..at least my drumming group enjoyed them! It's back to the chocolate cake drawing board.
