No, I'm not vegan. But I think the growing trend of veganism is great. I'm mostly vegetarian, and I explain more here in this post I wrote about meat. It does focus more on eating meat than veganism. But there's a lot of useful info in there for vegans too. I'm curious to know what you think.

I have a bunch of vegan recipes and health info in my previous posts.
I wish I had more time to give you some input on your post. I'll comment over there. Thank you!
And heya, drop the dairy items from your diet! I know a few vegetarians (strictly no animal flesh or eggs) -- they have also switched to a vegan diet, and they feel a huge change just from dropping dairy.
