vegan experiment 1.

“Всяко яйце - бомба, всяка кокошка - летяща крепост в борбата срещу империализма”
Each egg is a bomb, each hen - a flying fortress in the struggle against imperialism.

so. social experiment 1: vegan week is over.
target: me.
result: successful and inspiring.

Low moments: dinner with people (vegan pasta bake's possible but unapetising in comparison to a cheesy one and caused a fuss). Missing meals. On the long-term would be difficult to balance protein portions, B-group vitamins and essential amino-acids.

High moments: Ginger snaps. Scrambled Tofu. Feeling light inside, but not hungry and my throat's clearer without oily junk flowing down it. It's shocking how many things that need not have dairy are packed with butter, milk whey or egg powder. Fatfree vegan recipes. Banana pancakes (bananas as egg-replacements)! It did not affect my blood iron at all, because I donated blood the other day and all was fine.

So the only difficulty I really had was social. However, I think my choices led by ideals are not excentric, but essential. The problems vegans face are society's fault.
Yet I would feel arrogant asking for an imposition of the tolerance I believe is due for this ethical lifestyle, which is the only way to guarantee one does not contribute to unsustainable indistrial animal farming.
I'll try to keep it up without being painfully picky when eating out or not cooking for myself. But my stomach's already complained from the cheese sandwich I had for lunch...

Comming up next: vegan Christmas eve. Let's see how my family take it.
