honey is not vegan . :-)

[Guest guest]

I have only been on this list for a little under two weeks, but already I

have learnt so much. You guys are great! I wish I had become a vegan

before rather than being a vegetarian for nine years - loving cheese, eggs,

honey - you name it! I find the honey and eggs debate fascinating. If I

did miss these products when I became a vegan, then I certainly don't now!!!

 

BTW thanks to some great advice I am exercising quite a bit now and feel

great. I find that I am maybe eating a bit more, but that's probably

because I have been working up an appetite!

 

Thanks everyone!
