People t...I go through similar phases with my diet. People think that just because I'm a vegan that my diet is inherently healthy. On the contrary, I've been known to pack just as much sodium and fat into my diet as the next dude in line at Mickey D's. <br /><br />And you're absolutely right; it takes more effort than some people are willing to go through for a healthy diet. But the changes are so subtle over the course of time, that we don't even realize that we feel as horrible as we do, until we DON'T feel like crap for a while. Then when we go back to what we've learned as our "normal" state, we're thinking "Geeze, this doesn't feel good at all!"<br /><br />But I think it's those indulgences that make us grateful for the fact that we do have another option. We can eat fast food cheeseburgers and Chinese food in defiance of what we know is good for us, and suffer the consequences. Or we can have whole wheat pasta with extra vegan tomato sauce and fresh back porch basil (which sounds lovely, by the way) and know that we've actively made the right choice. <br /><br />But the short answer is yes, you do need more coffee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
