Maybe so. Thanks matt35mm :-)

Matt35m: I understand. I'm thinking maybe I'm too new a vegan? Maybe that's why I have this aversion? But I don't miss meat or dairy at all, and I was addicted to both. Embarrassingly enough, I did...

You didn't RubyDuby. It's all okay. :-)

I understand leedsveg. Thank you for clarifying. I am not "attacking" anyone. These are my feelings at the moment. They may change. I've only been vegan for a month,so I have TONS of room to grow.

I am just stating my feelings on fake meat. My personal feelings. And asking if anyone else understands these feelings or can relate to them. I'm not here to be attacked by fellow vegans.

Yick RubyDuby!! She's vegetarian because she loves animals... Hmmm.

Of course you will still remain a vegan :-). This isn't a "vegan" "non-vegan" post.

Sorry.

I wonder if anyone else has these feelings. Thus, my post.

Does anyone feel as I do?

I personally feel that eating "faux meat" undermines my "vegan-ness" somehow. The thought of eating fake meat reminds me of the real "thing", which I have absolutely NO...

Hot sauce

I love beans!!! Lol

I wish we could sue! But how can we when the government refuses to do anything about the situation? It's just appalling. More antibiotics and shots for the animals, and more antibiotics and vaccines...

For the animals, for me, and for the environment.

I have to say that the food I eat now is so much better than what I used to eat! So much more flavor and deliciousness...basically just "cleaner." I love feeling pure~

Yum!!!!!!!!!

I love ketchup, but it has sugar so I avoid it. In place I use hot sauce-on EVERYTHING! I do love spicy food! I do add a little salt to my beans, brown rice, and my almond butter-yum!!

You're welcome!

It seems that they will manage to stay in business due to their merger with JBS. But, JBS will own PP's ass. Unfortunately JBS is a "beef producer.". :-(

I love the FYH mozzarella too! Has anyone tried the nacho cheese flavor yet?

FRUIT!! And sometimes a bean taco on a corn tortilla with hot sauce. Yum!

Here you go!

Glad no headaches for you DavidT!

I get crap for it sometimes, but I don't tend to do things gradually-once I make up my mind, I'm in all the way-and immediately! Lol.

Most definitely :-)

I don't drink it because of the high sugar, caffeine, and preservatives!

Thank you for the suggestions DavidT. I appreciate your thoughts and input on this issue. But, I can't bear to go back to vegetarianism. I don't trust doctors either-they know nothing about proper...

Thanks so much bluemoon! It could very well be not enough salt, or at least the drastic reduction in my salt intake. I think I get enough salt, just not the huge amount I ingested before. I'm goin to...

Exactly.

"Is Ground Beef Safe to Eat?"

No. Duh.

Thanks Harpy! I must say I was a cheese addict-I ate cheese every day, on just about everything. I don't even want to try the "fake" cheese now. I'm fine without. But I could definitely understand if...

I drink about about 7-8 17 ounce bottles of water a day. And I don't eat a lot of salt. I try to flavor my food with other spices and fresh hot sauce. I love spicy food!

Thanks for the advice all! Burl, I drink water all day long-and that's all I drink. (And I'm still always thirsty too!)

Yes, I've given up caffeine, but I never drank much to begin with. I actually had some caffeine today to test that theory, but still have my annoying headache.I used to drink coffee, but never ate...

I think I'm eating enough, but not always at regular intervals. That could have something to do with it. I just wake up with a headache every day :-(.

Thanks for the advice :-). They aren't severe headaches, just the naggy, achy ones at my forehead.I just have noticed that they began daily in the last week. Who knows-maybe its the weather! ;-)

I have had an almost constant headache since becoming a strict vegan a week ago (from vegetarian). Any ideas why that might be? I'm at a loss!

I read "Skinny Bitch". I cried. Been vegan since the day I finished it.I only wish I had done it a long time ago.

Maybe I'm just speaking for myself personally, but I prefer to do without the lard ;-)

Exactly. Coming from a hispanic background, and watching my grandmother cook for years, I know they use shortening/lard in making tortillas, beans, fried potatoes, so many things!

I agree-you can't just order a vegetable soup or veggies because most soups use chicken or beef stocks, veggies can be sauteed in the wrong oils, beans can have lard in them etc. If you eat out,...

I limit my bread to whole grain sprouted bread. If I'm really hungry and need something quick, I'll have a slice with peanut butter on it. Some days I eat no bread, others I eat one or two slices. I...

I avoid fake sweeteners, all preservatives, white bread, white flour, white pasta, sugar, sodas, and all sweets. Luckily I don't have a sweet tooth :-)
