Day Thirty-One

Ok, guys, today was great. Awesome, actually. Food is good. Good food is even better. I've been eating mostly raw, healthy and little dairy. and by little I mean a little cheese on my salad. Had a bocca burger with some pickles and mustard. That rocked.

I learned some things today, but before that: MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I'm Buddhist, but I still celebrate. Because Christmas for me isn't about God or Jesus; it's about family (whoever that is for you), love, faith, and spreading goodness in the world. So, just want to get that out first.

I think a lot of people think when I say I'm going 'mostly' vegan that I mean I'm in it for animals. Let me be the first to say that I abhor the way animals are treated in the food industry (in general), but that's not my primary reason. I am doing it for me and Gary's health. My family's health if they're in for it. That's why I say 'mostly vegan'. What does that mean?

It means I can't afford completely organic or wholly vegan stuff. So, I'm still going to eat regular bread. Vegan bread is expensive, and so long as milk is the last listed thing? I'm good. My main concern is casein and animal protein in large doses. My goal is to avoid clogged arteries and cancer growth. and so far, I think I'm doing a fairly good job of that.

I really hope this helps someone like me. Someone who doesn't want to go really go veganish for just the animals, but for them. I know some people who are completely vegan are like, you're awful. Well, I don't care what you think. At least I'm not eating straight eggs, milk, and meat anymore, right? That's my point of view.

Anyway, I wanted to give you guys a post of some kind. Have a wonderful holiday and enjoy your family. Because--really--that's what this whole thing is about.
