I collect diets.
I think what I love about it is the information and immersion into a different culture that you get to experience. When I was kosher, I learned how many of the biblical dietary laws were a way to keep germs at bay during a time before the knowledge of bacteria. When I was pescatarian I learned all about overfishing and the sustainability/ necessity of farmed fish. And when I was living on the "$5 a week" diet, I learned how gassy human beings get when they only eat beans and rice for three months.
Plants. Exciting! |
Now that I'm making my foray into veganism (and Hannah's week (more like weak...jk but seriously) long "adventure" into vegetarianism) we wanted to kick off this new knowledge hunt with a little vegan treat giveaway!
Here's what's up for grabs:
Your very own
VEGAN SMORES KIT!
It includes-
vegan mallows (made in Hansies hometown of Chicago)
three kinds of vegan chocolate (peanut butter cups, toasted coconut dark chocolate, and 91% cocoa dark chocolate)
and teddy grahams (because they were the only thing close to traditional graham crackers that didn't have honey in them....free the bees)

Hey! I am so up for some vegan smores! I was a vegan for like 3 months right after high school. It sucked! It seems like all the foods had sooo much salt in them. Like more than McDs. It's better to just do raw foods. I guess I know a lot of 7th Day Adventists who are vegans, but they ate like crap. Nachos and cheese from 7-11 to candy bars, all vegan, but not eating actually veggies, lol! But I am juicing right now to get off of caffeine ( 10 days now!) and it's been great. Lots more energy and I feel a lot better over all.
Good luck with it. And watch out for your salt intake! :)
This week I am not happy about no meat, but I am juicing and trying to do only juice so I think that counts as a vegetarian :)
I posted it to Facebook. P.S. Since you are into non-conventional diets you should watch the movie on Netflix Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. Where I got my juicing kick from :)
Posted it to facebook!
I also Tweeted about it..

AND I am a vegetarian! Going 7 years strong ladies. I have some street cred.
I seriously need to get off caffeine but I get insanely cranky so I just cave. When I was vegan I ate a lot of granola, Nutter butters, Kix and Boca Burgers. Not to mention veggies. Even now I carry around a granola bar, a banana, or almonds at almost all times as a habit resulting from when I was vegan. I was always hungry. Oh yeah, Larabars are awesome too. I love the cashew ones. You never know when you'll end up eating dinner at a place that is not vegan friendly! Be prepared!
Ooh, I want to win. :) I'm off eggs and dairy mostly because my sissies are allergic and I cook and bake for them. I use flax seed meal instead of eggs. Works good, tastes good and is good for you too. :)
Love your blog by the way. You girls bust me up!

I follow your blog through GFC.
I've been a vegetarian for a total 5 years (took a short break in between years 2 & 3). I've thought about going vegan for a long time now, but I'm still not 100% sure if I'm ready for it or not.
I'm a follower on networked blogs.
And I'm a vegan!
And I liked your fb page :)
