However, I hope you're still reading. I am curious as to what your (or Evan's) response to this article or book would be. It just makes me utterly confused when there seems to be so much contradictory evidence on both sides of any particular issue, such as this one. http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike/lipid-hypothesis/the-vegetarian-myth/Thoughts? Tynan,

While I enjoy your crazy adventure stories, it was especially nice to read an article with which I could so closely relate. I, unlike you, was not instantly converted from a carnivorous to vegan diet (I had a lengthy vegetarian in-between phase). The transition for me to vegan eating came via macrobiotic guidelines, which in turn steers me away from being one of those vegans with imbalanced, heavily processed diets. (Plus, I have a "sensitivity to soy," which makes most processed vegan items quite unbearable.) I loved reading about your vegan conversion experience, as it so closely mirrored my own fairly recent one. As for the sugar thing...I will never forget the disbelieving look my mother threw me when I explained the sweet delight I now get from eating brown rice. And that applies to all fifty chews per bite–simply marvelous.Anyhow, it's nice to know someone else has had similar experiences, and that I'm not as crazy as my mother would suggest. Thanks so much for doing this blog, especially this article. You keep writing, I'll keep reading.Bree Austin, TX Hi Tynan,

Anyhow, it’s nice to know someone else has had similar experiences, and that I’m not as crazy as my mother would suggest. Thanks so much for doing this blog, especially this article. You keep writing, I’ll keep reading.

I used to have stomach problems and take prescription medication for them. I would like to say that before I was vegan, I also ate healthy meals and obstained from processed and fast foods. Since I've cut out meat and dairy I not only feel healthier and have more energy but I no longer need the medication I was on. I do not suggest that a Vegan or Vegetarian diet is best for everyone but I do know it has been beneficial for me. I do wish to caution those who would like to try it to please research and ensure you are eating a variety of fruits and vegetables as well as supplementing all the vitamins you used to get from meat and dairy. These are found in other foods but you need to know which foods these are and make sure you consume enough of them. If you can't afford to eat out as suggested in the article, don't worry. I cook all my meals at home and through smart shopping manage to spend around the same as my meat eating roomates on groceirs. There are lots of great recipes online as well :)My family and many of my friends have been supportive of my decision but a lot of friends and acquaintances question my decision to not eat meat on a daily basis, whether it's joking around or in all seriousness. One of these friends read your post hwever and sent me the link. He told me he understands me a little better now. So I just really wanted to say thank you for voicing some of the benefits of eating this way so eloquently :) I made the decision to cut out meat and dairy from my diet two years ago.
