I wish I had somewhere to send this letter:

Dear Vegans,

What the f*ck is this food?

Best Regards,

Me

Seriously though. This food is shitty. I ate so much today and I was never full. Not one time did I feel like I had enough to eat. To be fair I think 1/2 of it was just my brain seeing a leg of turkey (like Renaissance fair big!) float on by every 27 seconds. Or deep fried fill-in-the-blank. That stuff is everywhere. I picked the wrong week to be vegan. I even caught myself chewing my fingernails, then realized THAT’S NOT F*CKING VEGAN EITHER.

I ate peanut butter on bread, I ate a whole container each of raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries, I ate a banana, I ate popcorn.  I ate almonds,  I drank Coke Zero and orange juice (not together although it would probably taste better than Soy milk). I was weak and dizzy like when I did 3 days with zero carbs. I had ZERO energy. Then my friend Robin said I should sugar up so I had some gummy bears and blow pops and that did the trick, I felt a lot better. When I got home I ate Boca chicken patties and Morning Star Meat BBQ whatevers and I’m finally a little full. My jaw is tired from chewing so many things today and my stomach is just begging for a cheeseburger.

Tangent A:

I was going to refrain from saying that I saw a LOT of jailbait and/or white trash at the county fair today. But here’s two things about that:

1. It’s true.
2. White trash doesn’t know what a blog is.

I think I’m safe.

annnnnnnd we’re back

Thank you for all of the comments/suggestions. I’ll try to answer them all here:

1.  I’m only eating vegan. You can make a coat out of Irish Setters if you want…

2. My definition of eating vegan is no animals or animal bi-products. Yeast is not an animal, so I’ll be having bread. Also I don’t give a poop if the product I’m eating was made in a facility that also uses animal bi-products.

My tofu saw some butter on the other table at the factory so I just can’t bring myself to eat it

Shut up your mouth hole.

3. I really think my friend Ryan who is working directly across from me out at the fair should taunt me with savory deep fried delicacies! He is also trying to eat well though, so I am not going to force him to eat shitty food in front of me. Also, forcing someone to eat shitty food in front of you…that would just be creepy.

4.  I need to get my hands on some quinoa and some oats, some more soy crap, and some beans and lentils.

5. I will absolutely not be extending this one past 7 days (sorry Erin!) I just hate veggies, so basically what I’m doing right now is harder than what normal vegans do…I’m being vegan and also not eating vegetables. What the hell is left? Fruits, beans, and whatever chemicals I’m eating in a Morning Star “burger”. I will be taking your advice on the oatmeal and the spinach and pasta thing…I think I can handle that.

6. I am going to make this per Luke’s commentt:

Here’s an easy recipe: grill some green, red, yellow, and orange peppers, mushrooms, and onion with olive oil. Mix together olive oil, 2 tablespoons of chili powder, garlic, and a little lime juice. Mix with the veggies. Put it all on a grilled corn tortilla for a wonderful vegan tostada!

I’m going to make it Friday night and film the cooking of it. Mainly because I think it’s going to be hilarious as I have never cooked or eaten any of those things. If anyone has another vegan recipe to add, do it to it! I’ll make it on Friday night and eat it and try not to throw it up! Yay plants!

7. If I went vegetarian I would literally eat eggs and boca chicken patties and cottage cheese for every meal. The end.

8. I read the entire ingredients list of Cocoa Pebbles. Not one mention of animal bi-products. F-YEAH!

Like I said, thanks everyone for the pointers! I hope I have more energy tomorrow, I feel like everything I ate today was hollow or maybe I just didn’t eat enough peanut butter.

Two last tangents: My resolution type living has rubbed off on my friend Kelly! She’s got some July resolutions of her own!

Kelly’s Blog

My friend Robin told me that she’s been inspired to run a mile a day because of two things…. me…and even better, because she saw Zombieland and doesn’t want to be eaten. When I read her text I laughed out loud. If you are wondering what all that means…check this out:

I will leave you with this:
