day one

ok i said at some point i would do a week of veganism. me being me, i said this with little commitment; but today, i commenced. i decided to intrepidly go where few non-hipsters have gone before and be

A VEGAN


and so i am embarking on a possible week of misery or self-discovery, and will strive to finally answer the age-old question: what the fuck do vegans eat?
can i do it? can i actually do it? only soy-time will tell. i will remind you that this means: no meat, no cheese, no milk and no eggs. this will be difficult seeing as these are pretty much all of my favourite foods.

so this morning i had fruit juice and some dry toast. blergh. i did no preparation whatsover so i went in blind. by lunch time i was starving beyond belief, so scoured the city centre for an animal friendly lunch. i made a veritable feast of a plain baked potato and salad with vinegar, and a veggie samosa. such was my commitment that i ate the whole meal, even the potato, with my bare hands. i only did that because i forgot to get a fork, but whatever. my friends were impressed by my dedication on campus, and both pitied and laughed at me. i went and bought soy milk (gross) soy butter (yum) and soy yoghurt (yum) after work, having formed a massive headache in a seminar. i think it's meat withdrawal, but i don't know for sure. i got home and made cous cous with quorn sausages and fried peppers with courgette fritters. v. good surprisingly. after a slightly rough start, project vegan is going well. i'm hoping to start radiating organic animal product free beauty after a few days, but i accept that this probably isn't a thing.
here endeth day one.

(n.b. does anyone know if vegans eat honey? i mean, i know no animal by-products, but bees aren't animals? is shunning honey only for super-vegans? i don't know. i don't really care either, because i'm going to eat honey. call me a cheater if you like, but don't forget to fuck yourself first!)

(n.n.b i just looked it up: vegans don't eat honey. shit. no honey for me for the rest of the week. sorry about the fucking yourselves thing)
