To Be Vegan or Not to be!

I was raised Vegan and loved every moment of my childhood and because I didn't have meat or animal products growing up I had no idea what I was missing.

I was missing a lot.     I love bacon!   I love cheese!   I love chocolate!    Oh crap.

I cant be Vegan!

What about the rede?

Well...Good question!

I adapted the Wiccan rede into my practices because at the time I agreed with it.   I have heard watered down versions though such as -live the best life you can and do as little harm as possible-   I agree with that but the same question comes up, am I doing as little harm as possible when I eat meat?

Anyone who has done proper research knows that it takes a shitload of water and grain to feed cows to fatten them up so we can feed the steak eaters out there and that same grain and water could feed a third world country.

We are doing incredible harm to the Goddess and to other parts of The Goddess by eating meat and meat products so it has to be really something we think about instead of just acting on impulse or because something tastes so good.

Vegan food has EVERY Nutrient that we need to survive.   It is just as healthy if not MORE healthy to be Vegan because Vegan foods have zero bad cholesterol, less fat, more fiber, more nutrition.

And some of it tastes better to me!

I LOVE Vegan sour cream much more than regular.    I love daiya shredded cheese and its a lot less fat so I feel good eating it too.  Dark Chocolate is Vegan naturally and is my favorite.   

Before I met Don and Mom got sick I was Vegan.   I have only been a meat eater for about 3 years now.   I enjoy the foods I mentioned above but I am 203 Pounds now when I was 170 before, I have high cholesterol, I feel tired all of the time, my back is killing me, right now as I type  :(

I was working on a Vegan cookbook before this as well...

I need time to really think about this....

:)    Maybe...You should too!

Blessings!
