I've been a vegetarian for a smidge over a year now. The transition was shockingly easy. I had planned on taking it slow and giving up beef then chicken and so on. But education is a bitch. After flipping through "Diet for a New America" while waiting for my chiropractor, I was done. I stopped off at Borders for my own copy and tore through it in a couple of days.
The transition to veganism has not been quite so easy. Thanks to "Skinny Bitch" I can't eat ice cream or cheese (the two mainstays of my previous life) without thinking of puss. Appetizing! Thanks to my Blackberry I can google most ingredients while trolling the supermarket aisles for a treat, but most of the time I fear that without a degree in molecular biology I will continually fall short.
Luckily I live in Los Angeles and there is no shortage of vegan restaurants. I even had a huge slice of vegan pizza today covered in artichokes, onions and black olives. Bliss :)
Basically this blog is my journey from vegetarian to full blown, card carrying vegan. Now if someone will just tell me where I can apply for my card...
