I really don't want to become a junk-food vegan. I don't know why that bothers me, as I was a complete and utter junk-food omni until recently. But, because I have always lived with such a fast food, take-outs, eating-on-the-go attitude, I am finding eating vegan a bit hard and frustrating. Not for the food but the effort.
I guess I'm asking for hints or tips from people who have BTDT. Breakfast is easy and for lunch I pretty much have marmite sandwiches and a bit of hummus + veg. But that means I spend 10 minutes every night preparing it. And I NEVER made my lunch before. Ever. I know that 10 minutes is nothing but it's effort and I am supremely lazy. As for dinner - well I do cook rice & pasta in bulk and freeze portions but even my favourite, stir fry, requires chopping and cooking, compared to a ready meal in the oven.
I do realise this sounds totally selfish, compared to the health benefits for the animals I'm not eating!! But I can't help my attitude, other than to go with it. I do realise I was exactly the same as an onmi hence never eating healthy as an omni - couldn't be bothered.
I also don't like being different. But that's a whole other topic!
