**i wrote this to the stopping point, which is when i got distracted by the WAPF and wrote the next post because i thought i lost this one. funny how my perspective was so clear and then went bye-bye.**
well. i've mentioned how i have been eating non-vegan foods and whatnot, like yogurt, some cheeses, butter, and whatnot... and i've felt fine about it because i'm picky about what i buy and from whom, but it needs to stop. i've been telling myself that i'll stop when i can eat without feeling sick, but that's just a lame way of dragging this out.
a friend forwarded me this article today and it reminded me of all the reasons i gave up dairy 8 years ago... it's hard to think how i fell off the vegan wagon. it just kind of happened bit-by-bit?? but it's time to go back, albeit slightly modified.
the main difference now is that soy is on my list of banned foods as well, so it really is easier to just go raw than try to fuss with milk-substitutes. the exception to the "raw" food will be organic free-range eggs (preferably from the family farm) and fish/seafood, which i feel my body needs in small quantities. since i have been pregnant i feel less inclined to eat eggs--i don't need them and they don't make me feel great--but fish is a different matter. my body is very interested in seafood these days.
so i'm going with it... "mostly" raw except a couple of things that totally aren't. lol. the big thing is to get rid of the dairy. milk is for baby cows, not people. so gross. i'm not sure why i started to think it's ok.
(actually i do, it was the weston price foundation. overall, i think they rock, and it's not that i disagree with them per se, i just more strongly feel that milk is not meant for people. if you are going to drink it, do it raw and fresh, at least!)
