So good, I love how often and successfully he takes the mickey out of some of USA’s media.

It is interesting what comes out as the most popular post.  I have about 5 blogs, only one of which gets much traffic and the most popular post is UIPickerView which is a very technical post about how to develop on the iPhone.

Just need to come up with some more posts like that one and I could get the site pumping.

Ok, So I setup another blog to host all vegan topics and I will continue my story over at Vegan For Thought.  My mentor Amiria will post over there too, and I’m yet to tell my brother he is also to post there.

So I’m one and a half weeks into this vegan diet and I have meat cravings. It’s the slight smells that drift around the office at lunch when my colleague cook themselves lunch. Torture!

For two days I had egg cravings, today it has been for curry. Lovely Butter Chicken curry. I would kil… Actually I guess I wouldn’t, though this gets tougher and it’s only been 9 days!!

I would say the hardest is eating out. I’m new to this and it is hard for me to even know what’s in the food listed on the menu and I feel like such a fool asking. So far so good tho, last night out for dinner and didn’t compromise, go me!

I think in future I will allow dairy and egg in my meals if I eat out as I don’t want to cause to much disruption. Of course if I find on the menu something bean Ill take it, but I’m not going to bother making up a meal to cater to my vegan beliefs. Not yet.

Today before going to the movies with my brothers I was highly tempted to chow down on some curry from across the road. I had thoughts “you can be a hypocrite Jordan, just do it, go get curry. Eat some meat”. It seemed so easy, so tempting. Instead I found one piece of bread left in my stash and toasted it with Vegemite on top. The craving passed, don’t really want curry as I write this. Feeling full after some more toast with Marmite on it, for my b12; as today I learnt there is no b12 in Vegemite. B12 is vital for good health, pretty much only comes in meat, so I’m told. Which makes it hard.

My mind still feels strongly for vegan-ism, but I get doubts now and again. Such a drastic change in my life is certain to shake me up. My whole concept on my morals and beliefs have been flipped on it’s head n slowly stirred.

I’m rather confused.

I have recently reviewed my thoughts on eating meat. I have always thought warring meat is natural and to be frank, tasty. I have no issue with killing an animal to eat it provided it is done in the quickest and most painless way. For a long time I have always been upset by animal cruelty, WSPA ads on tv being the most upsetting.

Not until recently have I look into it on the Internet and learnt about the common practises which take place to bring meat to our table. The process is something out of a Nazi regeme. Due to over population the need for cheap and fast meat has lead us to produce meat in un unacceptable way. As such I am “trying” a vegan diet to see if I can hack it.

For lunch today I had hummus and tomato in a frenh stick – was yum.
Washed down with soy milk – again yum
And lastly I tried some soy yogurt, strawberry. That was also yum. So far so good.

Dinner I had kidney bean birettos. Onion, mushrooms, pareka, cumin, tomatos, kidney beans. Was tasty, tho lil odd. I’m not a big bean eater tho love baked beans.

Let’s see how long I can do this!
