A vegan Way of Life

Recently ( two weeks ago) I joined the ways of the vegan lifestyle! I have often been curious about being vegan and what that would entail. I must admit that from time to time I had thought it to be a totally wasted effort, I mean why would you knowingly (and with full control of your brain) not eat anything that comes from animals... just think of life without cheese. Yet here I am two weeks into it, no meat,cheese,milk,yogurt, eggs...etc! Its been quite a healthy trip so far! I've been eating lots of vegetables and fruit and finding out about the amazing powers of quinoa and other funky beans and roots! Not to mention eating a good dose of PB&J's. It's a little tricky doing the vegan thing here in Italy with the Italians not able to grasp their minds around the idea of vegetarian let alone vegan seeing as most of there diet in based on meat and dairy. Who knows how long I'll stick with it or if I'll become vegetarian or just go back to being a carnivore! But for now I'm still inspired to eat healthy plant-based meals!
