veganism: I am a vegan for moral reasons. I just would like some whipped cream and milk chocolate and cheese and quiche. Its just come on all of a sudden over a coupla months. have been vegan for years.|||i'm a vegetarian, but one thing i do to help keep me on track is to print out meaningful quotes from famous vegetarians (albert einstein, leonardo davinci, leo tolstoy, etc.) that will remind me of why i chose what i did. i put them in my office and at home in places that i will look every day. when i feel tempted it is helpful to see them and be reminded of my values. i try not to use videos as inspiration because i find it traumatic to watch things like "meet your meat" over and over. i'm not trying to ignore what happens, but i don't think you have to watch it to remember what goes on. good luck!! EDIT: like previous posters, i also use substitutes when i feel tempted. i reach for things like veggie burgers and fakon. maybe trying some vegan dairy substitutes would help you out, too.|||Don't worry, I've gone through periods like that too. One thing that helps is to remind yourself why you're vegan.... look at pictures and videos of factory farming. This site is good: http://mercyforanimals.org/factory_farmi鈥?/a> The other thing that's helped me is to find vegan versions of my favorite products. Whipped cream: Soyatoo Soy Whip http://www.soyatoo-usa.com/us/start/ Chocolate: Whole Foods 365 brand vegan chocolate chips Cheese: Follow Your Heart http://www.followyourheart.com/cheese.ph鈥?/a> Teese vegan cheese http://www.teesecheese.com/ Quiche: http://www.ener-g.com/Recipe/RecipeDetai鈥?/a> (Use soy cheese for the cheese an soymilk for the milk) Good luck!|||Try some vegan substitutes. You can find vegan whipped cream and ice cream and other "dairy" sorts of products at your local health food store, as well as faux chocolate (dark chocolate marzipan candy bars are a good alternative). This should help carry you through the physical/sensory temptations that make you want to stray from your ideology. Sounds as though your belief system does not condone eating/using animals in any respect. I encourage you to strive to abide by the set of ideals that you have obviously thought hard about. Someone once told me: Never compromise a higher value for a lower one; it can only lead to mental strife. Through constantly reminding yourself why you chose this lifestyle for yourself and finding near-equivalent vegan options for the items you crave, you're bound to pull through. Good luck!|||Are you sure you haven't mistakenly had dairy lately? I always found cravings strongest when I had been exposed to animal proteins|||You can buy soya alternatives to dairy. Try a health foods store :-)|||I think it is more the idea of those foods, than the actual food itself. I'm a vegetarian and lately have been having dark thoughts about just eating meat and giving up. Just remember about why you did it, and how long you've been doing it. Always works for me. :)|||Sounds like maybe you need to shake-up your routine a little. Why not get yourself a new cookbook and try some new fun recipes? Vegan With A Vengeance and Veganomicon by Isa Chandra Moskowitz both have great recipes for tofu ricotta cheese, and Dreena Burton's Eat Drink And Be Vegan has an amazing "warm & cheezy" white bean dip. Craving non-vegan foods does NOT mean your body is crying out for nutrition from eggs and dairy. (Smokers crave nicotine.... it doesn't mean they ought to smoke to be healthy.) If you need a good dose of vegan anarchism, visit veganfreaks.org, read some AR literature, and listen to a Propagandhi album... it'll set you straight! Best of luck!|||Your body is telling you LOUD AND CLEAR that it requires a different set of nutrients than you have been providing to it.|||your body is not use to all that stuff, it may actually reject it and make you feel ill. nothing wrong with sticking to what you know. :)|||Maybe god (if there is one) is trying to tell you something. Like its unnatural in human nature.
