Veganism, Day 2
Posted on April 27, 2009 - Filed Under Animals, Health | 3 Comments
I’m not eating any animal products for one month as part of an agreement/wager with a friend, who has agreed to try vegetarianism for one month. We haven’t decided on a forfeit yet, so feel free to suggest one. It should probably be food-related, like eating a block of butter or something along similar lines.
As for veganism itself, well, it’s not much fun. It turns out that dairy or egg is in just about everything that isn’t fruit, vegetables or bread. I mean, there’s milk in all the soup in my house. There’s eggs in many kinds of pasta. There’s even shellac in sweets like Skittles. And soya milk is not very nice.
The only reason I intend to stick with it is that for every day I stay a vegan, my friend won’t eat meat, so I’m effectively doubling my vegetarianism. Besides, to re-tread a line of thought that has served me very poorly in the past, if it’s good enough for Woody Harrelson then it’s good enough for me.

…Have you seen Woody Harrelson lately?
He looked perfectly healthy in No Country For Old Men. Granted, that’s a few years old, but I can’t imagine he’s entirely wasted away since, and besides, he’s been vegan for years.
I just watched that last week. Most overrated film I’ve ever seen.
