Vegan 4 A Week–the Low Down
Good Morning WORLD! My name is Michelle (Mish) and I am VEGAN!
That’s right kids..VEGAN 4 A WEEK! Monday 16th Nov- Monday 23 Nov
It all started with this announcement and a little LOT of work behind the scenes with Katy @ SillyTaterTot to coordinate the masses for this week.
Let’s talk about WHY I would do this?
- I like challenges
- I watched Food Inc. and will never eat meat again which is industrial grown if I can
- Do I really need meat to survive?
- How do vegans survive if they are budding athletes?
- I like learning
WHAT is a Vegan? Do Vegans only eat apples and carrots? (source)
Veganism is a type of vegetarian diet that excludes meat, eggs, dairy products and all other animal-derived ingredients. Many vegans also do not eat foods that are processed using animal products, such as refined white sugar and some wines. Most vegans also avoid the use of all products tested on animals, as well as animal-derived non-food products, such as leather, fur and wool.

I’m excited for Thurs! I already have a few recipes in mind! Tried one this morning for Fat Free Pumpkin Raisin Biscuits from Fat Free Vegan Kitchen. You can check out my post tomorrow – they were great!
We are so excited that you’re joining it. I can’t wait to read your reviews.
I love that you added the vegan for the day. I wanted to do this but don’t have the time to do it all week. One day is totally doable.
I’m excited to see your eats for the week.
I am so excited that you’re going to be doing it
Hi!
I just stumbled on your blog today. I think it’s great that you’re eating Vegan for a week. I’ll join in for one day. I recently started eating Vegetarian, so it will be a great challenge for me.
I noticed the link to the Girls on the Run race…I live in the Willamette Valley. Good luck on your vegan challenge!
Thanks for stumbling by. You live in the Willamette Valley..I am going to be there next week
Sounds like an exciting week! Can’t wait to read all about your vegan adventures!
I might be stealing—eating—-some of your FAB recipes. Holy Vegan Yum.
I am so in! I can’t wait to see how this turns out. I eat mostly vegan (save some honey and greek yogurt occasionally) so I’m ready to rock on Thursday!
We are so excited that you’re going to join us. WOO HOO! It’s gonna be great. BTW love the title of your blog…it’s makin’ me hungry
how crazy! i went to bed yesterday with my mind made up that i’d be vegan this week (i’ve been a vegetarian for about 8 years). then i saw angela at oh she glows post a link here. so i was planning to do it and didn’t even know it was an event. looking forward to it!
That’s awesome. Thank you for following along with us this week!
I can’t wait to hear the end result!
I would love to join this challenge, I’m having such a hard time converting to veganism. I used to be, now I am just vegetarian and am trying quite hard to cut out all forms of animal products but it is taking a while.
Sorry for the babble, I found this due to the link on Angela’s blog. I would love to announce this on my blog also if that is ok?
Please announce away. Thank you for the support.
I’ m in-vegan for a day-great idea-I have been moving more and more towards a plant based diet and trying to lose all the diet talk that we need protein from animal sources-
Good luck with your challenge! Our household went vegan for four months and it was very cleansing.
Alisa, that’s amazing. What does (who) does your household include?
I love challenges also! I’m game!
I’m about 96.2% vegan allready, and ready for a week of 100%
I honestly can say that I am loving it.
Yay! I found a meal so I was able to participate! I finally got my post up with lots of photos of the vegan deliciousness: http://thechiclife.typepad.com/the_chic_life/2009/11/vegan-for-a-day-makes-for-a-great-day.html Thanks for the fun challenge!
