Hey there. Hope you are all enjoying lots of radishes this week! I have only had a few so far, but they've been quite delicious.
Just wanted to give a quick vegan update: it has been great. Really normal; I haven't been thinking about it much, and no situations have come up lately where it has been troublesome or awkward.
I'm still figuring out how to answer the question: "So why did you go vegan?"
Yes, it seems like a great and legitmate question, and it totally is. But for some reason, I feel awkward talking about it. While I have a variety of environmental, psychological, ethical, and emotional reasons for doing my vegan experiment, I feel weird to put all my thoughts onto others. So my goal is to come up with a one or two non-offensive sentence answer that I could share with people who directly ask the 'why' question.
Mostly, I just like the whole foods/local foods/holistic eating model. And that can easily incorporate meat and dairy for meat and dairy eaters. So maybe my statement will focus more on those themes.
Which leads me to my question for you: Why do you eat what you eat?

the line i use when asked if i judge others of what they eat (why would i?!?) is, "no. i feel that we all do what we can to make the world better. my thing is veganism. yours might be recycling. i feel like veganism is something i can give, just as others feel like they can give back by riding a bike to work. we all do our part in our own ways."
ReplyDeletein response to why i eat like this, i say "i did some research and feel like this is right for me for a lot of different reasons."

Hey L! Yes, let's definitely chat about it. Love you, lovely lady.
