I'd been Vegan for many years until a year ago when I went to visit a buddy in Cushing, Oklahoma. I was staying at his folks place. They weren't drinkers and it was clear that I could forget being vegan whilst i was there. I stayed for a month, lots of meat and eggs, no alcohol, sleeping like a baby and felt so good I thought "this means something" A year later and falling off the wagon too many times I decided last week that something has to change before i get irreversibly sick. I'm totally convinced that I'm going to stick to this. It's clear to me that this is the right way to live. A few of my vegan/vege friends are going to be disappointed but hey, this just makes sense.
