My next door neighbor is vegan, and ever since meeting her a couple of years ago I've thought about doing it myself. That girl eats better than anybody I know! Her food is so hearty, delicious, flavorful, and filling. The only reason I haven't really done it is it's such a new approach to everything: a totally new approach to shopping, a new way to prepare and cook food; it'd be a complex conversion for me. I'm just now getting the hang of how to cook traditionally, and I'm 27!
Add to the fact my other half thoroughly loves meat (especially chicken), and it'd be hard for me to go at it alone. I keep thinking about it though. I've already taken some of her ideas and used them for myself... marinating and sauteing mushrooms in red wine vinegar, roasting cauliflower with fresh lemon juice, etc. I know how much better Jessica says she feels because of the way she eats, and I absolutely believe her. I should just try it for a couple weeks and see what happens.
