Happy Saturday.  I am on my 28th day as a vegan.  Ok so a bit about me and why I went vegan.  About two and a half years ago I saw food Inc and decided I hated what I saw as far as factory farms and went cold turkey vegan. Unfourtunately at that time I was dating a man who to say he was unsupportive would be an understatement. People who are vegan tend to talk about people they meet who say hurtful things like "mmmm bacon" or "so you're vegan, well I guess I will have to eat enough meat for two of us then."  Yeah try dateing that, on top of that he sabatoged me all the time even going as far as to get the waiter to put cheese on my salad while I was in the bathroom at olive garden ( I don't know who wanted to slap my boyfriend more me or the waiter).  After a year and a half of him harassing me I went back to eating meat and generally feeling crappy about it.  We lasted another whole month before I ended it based on the fact that he did not respect me.  I found myself saying more and more to my new boyfriend,family,coworkers, well ok anyone who would listen that I felt better,more energettic when I was vegan.  Finally a coworker told me to put up or shut up.  So on Dec 30th I went back to being vegan.  My fiance is still a meat eater but is open minded enough to try some of the vegan things I cook. He is wonderfully supportive and even has gone as far as to look stuff up on the net. I work in security and will say I was surprised at the support from the truck drivers that come through my site.  I have three drivers going vegan with me and one who as he puts it is "vegan except for honey".   I will occasionally plug my fave vegan products on my blog, because it gets their name out there and well they are my faves.  My first plug is Naked green machine... I love this juice smoothie. Why I love it  1. vegan 2. non GMO 3. the bottle is 100% recycled plastic and is recyclable 4. it tastes great.  I have even gotten my fiance to try it and he hates "weird green liquids".  Bonus my local shell station sells it so if I am dragging at work I can stop in on my way home and chug it down at red lights.   Well this blog post is getting long So I will leave you with this....
Be well, Eat Healthy, and Live Compassionatly

Blessed Be,
The Wiccan Vegan
