If you’re a Vegan, you’re certainly not alone, though sometimes it might feel that way.
Three percent of American adults – 7.3 million people – follow a vegetarian diet, and one million of those vegetarians are vegans, who eat no animal products at all — no meat, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, even honey.
Being a Vegan is incredibly challenging whether its physical or social or economic in nature. Giving up favorite foods is tough enough and the fact that family and friends are unsympathetic and unsupportive only compounds the challenge and – in some cases – isolation from the meat and dairy eaters. The lack of social support is frustrating, disappointing, and isolating. Many non-Vegans don’t understand and don’t want to. Not eating meat and dairy is a foreign concept. It’s weird. It’s not natural. Vegans are mocked, looked down upon, and condescended to and it makes the effort of staying true to one’s belief even more difficult.
