Vegan.
There are few other words in the English language that immediately bring up such a knee-jerk reaction among pretty much everyone. Of course, youve got your stereotypes (vegans are weak, theyre angry, theyre hippies, theyre annoying, theyre probably right); your immediate defenses (If I go vegan, Id miss my moms amazing Christmas pot roast, and I wont be able to put creamer in my coffee); andadmit ityour curiosity (Veganism does seem to be the best way to lower my carbon footprint Not to mention, I just saw some supercute new vegan shoes that I kind of want). Anyone who has ever considered going entirely plant-basedwhether or not they ever followed throughhas struggled with the exact same questions, faced identical food-scarcity fears, and wondered whether it was healthy. Lets just start off right now by saying that youas well as your skepticism and intrigueare not alone.

Im all in!leaning into plant-based living, whether you want to try it for a month or youre ready to go full-throttle, has something for everybody.
