veganism: I've been vegetarian for a little while now but would like to make the switch to veganism! Does anybody have any tips for what to eat, wear, etc? Thanks!|||It's really not hard at all!! I'm vegan and have been so for more than a year, you'll be surprised how good you feel. Be sure to get enough protein (my meals are generally based around protein, whether it be from beans, tofu or some other source) and be aware of animal products in food! Know of suffixes and prefixes to watch out for. It's easy once you get the hang of it, and I have an app on my phone that lists a lot of ingredients to look out for. Wear: well, just wear things that don't have suede/leather/silk, etc. There are several brands that have organic/recyclable materials for clothing and even though you don't NEED to buy them, as a vegan I have found myself buying a lot of clothes with those materials. If I think of any other advice I'll edit this, or you can always message me :)|||wikipedia has information on veganism at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veganism vegetarian author john robbins,the man who wrote the ground breaking book "diet for a new america" and other books on vegetarianism has a website on the life and work of vegetarian author john robbins plus other resources at http://www.johnrobbins.info also try people for the ethical treatment of animals at http://www.peta.org the friends of animals at http://www.friendsofanimals.org and vegan world order at http://www.veganworldorder.com you can also use the phrase "vegan clothing & accessories" in the search box of amazon at http://www.amazon.com for vegan recipes try The One Word A Search Idea with words such as: quick, easy, raw, protein, breakfast, fruit, snack, lunch, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, greens, grains, lentils, legumes, dinner, casserole, souffle, soy, tofu, dessert,and smoothie in the search box of vegetarian times at http://www.vegetariantimes.com [also click onto the vegan box] and also try the vegan website veg web at http://vegweb.com for information on the vegan and vegetarian restaurants in and around the area where you live go to happy cow at http://www.happycow.net|||If it's something you believe in and feel strongly about, it's easy. I went vegan in November and it was the best thing I ever did, despite not having support from most of my friends and family. My best tip is to make your own foods as much as possible. Almost everything that's packaged contains animal products. I've even seen lactose in one brand of potato chips (to make them more "creamy" apparently). Check out the website below for some great recipes and tips.|||The first couple of months are hard, after that its pretty much plain sailing. Ordering in restaurants and travel can be a pain though.
