VEGAN -4-A- DAY—Yeah, You, You & You!
Katy and I masterminded this crazy busy–Vegan Week–because we were intrigued, inspired, and wanted to explore the world of being a vegan.
I remember when my friend, Robert Cheeke, became a vegan in high school. We grew up in a farming community with meat at every meal. I used to think to myself ‘does he just eat apples?’
So…what do vegans eat? We are challenging you..today…right here…around the world….
VEGAN -4-A- DAY!
Wait! What does that mean?
- Eat all meals -or- 1 meal on Thursday 19 November which is vegan
Remind me again..what is Vegan…
- No animal meat
- No animal products (eggs, butter, yogurt, milk, cheese)
- ‘Nothing with a face, or made by a face’
Ok..that’s cool…but come on..really..why would I?
- Challenge yourself to do something different–if even for one meal
- Join in the fun-we have some pretty amazing bloggers who are going to be supporting us–so join the ranks
- There’s loot in it..for those who enter!
Loot..you say?
- The wonderful people at VEGA are giving away a gift pack of their Vegan friendly products to the winner of the ‘Vegan -4-A- Day’ contest
How does this work?
- Blog about what you’ve eaten–either the whole day or the meal–
- Link back to both EatingJourney and SillyTaterTot in your blog post (this post specfically if you’d like) stating your vegan meals are in support of ‘Vegan -4-A- Day’
- Paste your blog link in the comment section of this blog
- If you write three posts..then ‘comment’ three times
- Oh wait…you can also paste your link at Katy’s ‘Vegan -4-A- Day’ post as well--double the pleasure double the fun…ok I’ll stop (katy’s will be up at 7ameastern time USA Thur.)
- The contest will start on my blog at 7am my time Oz on Thursday and will end at Midnight eastern time USA on Thursday 19 November
So..are you in? You better be!!!! I will be compiling ALL of the links from the blog posts left in the comment section on my Vegan Week Tab so that you can be inspired.

I like boca burgers and veggies but still partake of dairy and turkey burgers.
I think eventually no meat products will be the norm someday but that will have to be for my children to adpot.
I’ve already started posting vegan recipes on my blog! There are so many tasty options out there!
Looking forward to Thursday starting here in the U.S.!
P.S. I’m so excited about the VEGA giveaway! I’m reading Thrive right now!!
Looking forward to some vegan eats tomorrow!!
Hello!
Thanks for including me in this part of your Eating Journey! Here is a link to my article as I attempt to eat vegan for a day…
Stop by and discover how the vegans make Whoopie….
http://www.fitnessandspice.com/2009/11/lets-make-whoopie/
i will be participating!! i’m a total omnivore with no plans of putting labels or restrictions on my diet, but i do have have ethical qualms about the environmental and economic impact of meat-eating. so i figured . . . .why not! i linked to both of you in my post today (here) and will be photographing my eats all day to show tomorrow!
i have a 20 mile run planned, so . . . there will be a lot of them. should be interesting!
that sounds awesome that you’re doing it for the day AND a 20 mile run..can’t wait to read your posts! make sure to come back and link up.
I’m taking up the vegan for a day challenge as well. So far the hardest part is taking pictures of my food
I decided to become a “food blogger” for the day (although I can’t post at work so it will just be one long post at the end of the day) and the picture taking is the hardest part.

As a vegan I can very easily participate in vegan 4 a day.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I’m here in support of “Vegan 4 A Day”
I’m not an omni, I’ve actually already made a recent transition to veganism. I’m lactose intolerant and recently my body has decided it doesn’t like to digest meat products.
Here’s my breakfast post:

More vegan delicious-ness… two lunches in one day! http://www.keepinthepace.com/?p=787
Here are my Vegan eats!
http://onespiritualsoul.blogspot.com/2009/11/vegan-for-day.html
What a great idea and a great way to get people interested in eating vegan! Even if it is for one day, I’m sure people will be surprised about how tasty vegan eating can be!! Here is link to my challenge post: http://trirunveg.blogspot.com/2009/11/vegan-4-day-challenge-post.html
I’ve got some vegan eats for you so far today:
http://courteatsu.wordpress.com/2009/11/19/vegan-for-a-day/
What a wonderful idea! As a Vegan-for-Life, I’m in full support!
As my Vegan for a Day post, I’ve blogged about what vegan eat. It’s super picture-heavy, but it shows how varied and delicious a vegan diet can be.

Here’s what I posted after Lunch. Hard for me not to fall back on my usual cheese stick or hard boiled egg. Cheers!

Hi! I just had a wonderful vegan 4 a day day
. I’m not posting until tomorrow with a full review but thank you for the push and opportunity. It’s been a great experience!
http://www.danielleabroad.com/2009/11/la-la-land_19.html
It was actually kind of fun meal-planning an entire day of veganism. It won’t be something I stick to, but it opened my mind to new possibilities.
http://postcards-from-the-world.blogspot.com/2009/11/blogger-vegan-4-day.html
I’m a vegan for a day!!
http://www.embracingbalance.com/2009/11/veggie-love.html

So I participated Mish, but it was rather pathetic because of my crazy school schedule right now. In any case, I would love to attempt it again in the near future! Loves it.
I got two out of three meals to be vegan. Does that count for something?

Hi Michelle!
Here’s my recap of B + L as a vegan. Dinner didn’t go so well (emotional eating at it’s best) but it definitely gave me a lot to think about. Thanks again!
