Well, I've been a vegetarian for over 30 years, although I did occasionally eat fish.
Now I'm vegan at home (although, with my reading specs on, I can see that the rice crackers I bought contain whey),and a vegetarian while out.
I like to eat out, and I like potlucks, so the challenge for me will be to attempt to be vegan even outide of my own home.
And that means less junk food, which has me whining, but if Judy can give up canned milk (Yuck!), I'll give up anything except vegan junkfood.
