Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 Message: I've been a vegan now for 16 years, which for some people might seem like an unbearably long time to go without animal products, but quite the opposite, actually. It surprises people to find out just how much I enjoy being a vegan, especially from a culinary perspective. When I was a carnivore my diet was limited. As a vegan it's seemingly limitless, what with necessity being the mother of invention. I'm often asked, 'well, as a vegan, what do you eat?' which seems like such a strange question. What do non-vegans eat? Meat, cheese, milk, eggs? Vegans eat everything else. Indian food, Chinese food, Mexican food, Thai food, Japanese food, African food, and so on, and so on. Whether I'm having a pan bagnia sandwich (olive tapenade, roasted red peppers, basil and onions, on ciabatta bread) at Teany, my restaurant, or having marinated exotic mushrooms with mixed baby greens and an orange vinaigrette in Paris, or having fajitas in Los Angeles, or vegan Chinese food in lower Manhattan, or vegan Pad Thai in Melbourne, or etc etc - I'm always a very happy eater. Primarily I'm a vegan for ethical reasons, but if the truth be told it's the culinary aspect of veganism that has sustained me for 16 years of animal-product free living. Thanks to The Vegan Society for promoting a way of life that is ethical and tasty. Moby see www.worldveganday.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
