The hardest thing about being a vegan

The hardest thing as far as I know about being a vegan is the treatment of people, some are nice enough to ask things about you, but some are also rude enough to carry a sign that say's "I am a stupid vegan hater".
What have we vegans ever done to you? "oh you can't eat that you're vegan!" or "hey don't use the car, go walk to where you want to go you're vegan right?" and other things or comments like that, that not only provokes an argument but also shows how stupid and irrational your logic can be.

We are people too you know, No matter what age, sex, race or diet you have, there will come a day when you will feel tired, frustrated or cranky. We are not immune to breakouts or headaches. We are still human and anything that afflicts the human population can afflict us too. We are not superhuman beings that suddenly possess superhuman strength and superhuman immunity, as long as we live in the polluted earth, breathe the same smog and drink the same chemically treated water, Us vegans are not immune. Until the day we can invent a separate world to live in we must endure the damage we have done to our planet.

We are not selfish, self righteous people. If we were, we wouldn't be here sharing our stories. We'd keep it to ourselves, so that all of you stupid meat-eaters can just all die and all that will be left is us vegans. Ain't that right?

I love that I'm not allergic to soy, because I love my soy milk. There are a lot of talks that say soy is not good for you so I just use it now in moderation, just to be on the safe side, I've reduced my consumption to 1 liter a week from 2.5 liters. I'm exploring other milk options, almonds will be out of the question since it's so hard to find here and so expensive!

There are a lot of vegan blogs and videos that say going vegan is inexpensive, Yeah! in your country!
In a country where the take home pay of one regular employee is 350Php which converts to 7-8 dollars only for a days work, not to mention the fare you will still subtract from that. So here's what I have to say to all of my fellow countrymen who are aspiring to become healthier and kinder to the environment, DO NOT GET CARRIED AWAY BY THE VEGAN VIDEOS YOU WATCH ON YOUTUBE! 


Start with what we have here, what are we used to eating? veganize that, it's easy to go vegan when you are Filipino, because meat is not the main component of the Filipino diet, If you love adobo, substitute the meat with tofu, You must listen to the things vegan videos say, EAT IN SEASON whats in season in our country is what's best for us, do not imitate what they eat, it's what's in season in their country not ours, if you are really craving out of season fruits and vegetables it's best that you buy from locally grown produce like Dizon's Farms. You don't have to buy organic if it's out of your budget, just take better care in washing your fruits and veggies to make sure that all pesticide residue are removed.

There are a lot of Filipino desserts that are already vegan, like the suman, kalamay, banana-que and of course fresh fruits!

Going vegan is a way to help the environment and help save the animals from abuse. Let's not be self-righteous here. Being 100% vegan is impossible. Why? as critics say: "how can you be vegan if you have a car, use a cellphone and a laptop?" BUT as we lessen the impact we have on the environment by becoming vegan is better than not helping at all.

Watch this if you consider yourself an Earthling

We may have lived our lives believing that meat is food, but we can make a difference because we have a choice.

YOU CONDEMN ANIMAL ABUSE? THEN WHY IS IT PERFECTLY NATURAL TO EAT MEAT?

Are You PERFECT?!! (Tu Quoque Debate Fallacy)

OFFICIALLY VEGAN

I am really proud of myself, after a month of trying to go vegan I can truly say now that I AM VEGAN!*applause*

I am proud to say that I have gone one month without any animal products. No pork, beef or chicken, dairy & eggs. One less person voting for animal cruelty, one less person polluting the planet, one MORE person getting healthier by the second. Isn't that great?

So, I have overcame the issues of going vegan, I have found ways to get them or make them. This has been a very fulfilling journey. Thank you for the encouragement and criticisms and most of all Thank you Lord! for the strength, wisdom and guidance to start my journey. Everything is easy when you have God by your side.

Vegans Must HATE Humans!

My thoughts on going Vegan

I must say that I went vegan for health reasons, I just got fed up in taking medicine that only offered short-term relief but did not cure me. Time and time again I kept coming back to the doctors who can only prescribe me stronger antibiotics and pain relievers that doesn't do me any good. I have been battling with my weight most of my adult life, hormonal imbalance, acid reflux, kidney stones, constipation, migraine, acne you name it, I had it. I decided to change my lifestyle and diet to see if it had anything to do with my ailments, and I was surprised with the results not only did I had more energy and stopped taking all my medicine, I also looked better and lost the last 10 pounds that I can't seem to lose all those years!

Alicia Silverstone talks about her new Juice Beauty collection with ET E...

Alicia Silverstone is such a big influence in me, she inspires me to do more for our planet without sacrificing a lot of myself. Brings tears to my eyes when she does things that you never dreamed a celebrity would do. I really love that she focuses on the good of everything, for the good of everything. If you get what I mean =) I hope and pray she inspires more people to follow in her footsteps and help make this world a better place for all the generations to come.
