Do you ever eat nuts/seeds/tofu/avocado?
Do you eat salads or mostly cooked foods? Or you still tempted by SAD foods such as cakes or ice cream? Do you find it difficult to eat differently than your friends?
I eat nuts/seeds/avo only VERY rarely. As in feast days. They are not a part of my diet normally and if they were, I would gain weight.
I eat salad for lunch during the week b/c there is a great salad bar at work. Otherwise I eat mostly cooked foods. There is no benefit to raw foods and most people digest/use cooked foods better. I've been vegan for close to 25 years, and went vegan for ethical reasons--I've never once wanted to touch animal flesh or milk for baby calves.
I was vegan long b/f I became a McDougaller.
I have a pretty strong personality and I was brought up to do my own thing and never be a "Gordon the Goat" (who just follows along w/ what his friends do), so no--it's not hard for me to eat differently. My friends know how I eat and they're fine with it. If they weren't, that's really their problem, not mine!

Absolutely! And she eats no grain at all (contrary to popular belief, it's very bad for horses). She eats only grass, hay, plain hay pellets, ground flax, and a vitamin/mineral supplement.
And, of course, the occasional carrot or apple.
