To Ve(gan), or not to Ve(gan) that is the question!


I am not a hater of all militant meat eaters but I eat vegan on most days. The reason is that I've found that it's a wonderful way to treat and prevent several health problems (like bleeding ulcers, migraines, and ba-donk-a-donk) that I deal with. The problem with this lies in my growing desire to feed my family vegan in order to address some of their various issues as well. (Don't get me wrong, we none of us are dieing, it's just easier and less expensive to prevent rather than treat.) Owen and Dylan both heartily eat their veggies and fruits but if I dare to serve a meal without meat or other animal products, I get many rueful looks and comments. I have begun using meat flavored tofu, tempeh, and other meatless meats in place of cooked animal with great success. Owen and Dylan usually can't tell that there's a difference and no one suffers the consequences of eating too many animal products. Owen still fights my determination to vegan-fy the whole family. He has made his feelings clear with the wearing of this shirt... I remain undeterred.

  1. I support you in your vegan eating, but I have too admit, that shirt of Owen's definetely made me laugh!

  2. Good for you guys, but yep I agree with Owen's shirt! We just love meat too much, after all if we weren't supposed to eat cows, why are they made out of meat? (I know lame old joke, but it seemed to fit! :p).
