Although I am not a Vegan yet, I do plan to be. It would be hard for me to be a vegan right now because I still live with my parents, but I am a vegetarian. I do miss grilled chicken and Salmon sometimes, but other than that meat makes me sick. I never really liked the taste of red meat and I always hated looking at it.

I NEVER miss meat. In fact, the longer I've been vegan, the more meat repulses me .... it's gotten to a point where I have a hard time being around people when they're eating a big steak or something. Blech! On rare occasions, I do miss cheese, but when I really think of what eating that cheese would mean (supporting cruelty) I come back to reality and decide that I don't miss it after all. ~ Recent blog post: Sarah Palin “pardons” a turkey…Sort of. ~

I loved Isa's answer to that question & feel the same - I don't miss meat at all. The thought of chewing beef or chicken makes me want to gag. ~ Recent blog post: Cheesecake success: a review ~

Regarding the pizza, I found this great website for vegan pizzas of all kinds: http://www.ethicalpizza.com/

And for those people lucky enough to live in certain veg-friendly cities, there are vegan pizza joints and vegan-frienly pizza places popping up like: http://www.pizzafusion.com/

I occasionally miss cheese and milk chocolate. And I do NOT want to pay 5 bucks for a chocolate bar made with rice milk. Unless, of course, it’s a 5 lb. chocolate bar, which I’m sure it’s not.

But you know what I really miss? The ability to walk into any grocery store, any restaurant, any fast food place, etc. and buy anything and not have to worry about it, or read labels, or have to leave in disgust because there is nothing I can eat on the menu.

There is one entirely vegan restaurant in town (chinese food), and it’s awesome to go there. I don’t have to pick and choose from a few entrees. I can order anything on the menu. They use faux meat for some of the dishes, so they have pretty much everything a standard chinese restaurant would have (i.e. sweet and sour chicken, beef and broccoli, etc.), but it’s so great to just sit down and order whatever I want from the menu without asking, “Is there meat or dairy in this?”

Once I committed to going vegetarian, it was pretty much instantaneous for me - overnight, I became repulsed by the smell, the look, even the thought of meat. The few times I've accidentally eaten it, I've practically vomited from the thought. The only food I miss now is fried eggs, probably because there's not yet a vegan substitute for them. But it's really a small "sacrifice" when you consider all the suffering that goes into egg production. (Scare quotes because I don't really think of it in those terms - how can you sacrifice something that was never your right to begin with?) My husband, on the other had, does miss cheese pizza. ~ Recent blog post: elsewhere, other things ~
