Most vegans I know do so to limit animal cruelty. Confused about the calorie counting comment. You calorie count when eating vegan, but not otherwise? Why? I get the cheese thing--it took a few years for me to ramp down my cheese consumption. It used to be the staple of my diet! But it just didn't feel right anymore, and as I ate it less, I noticed how crappy it made me feel anyway. Finally it just all came together. No disconnect, kitty.

Last night at a restaurant the waitress recommended a particular "vegan" dish and then proclaimed she was vegan. A few minutes later she was outside the building having a cigarette break - but she is vegan. There is a disconnect with this type of thinking.

I loved your vegan diet for a week. I think I'll take the challenge too. Eggs is my only weakness, because I workout a lot and it's easy protein. I’ve been a vegetarian for a decade now.
