Almost Vegan Information

Originally, I called the website Almost Vegan because I ate products with casein in them. Casein is a derivative of milk so I was almost vegan. Now though, I must admit, I do eat dairy sometimes. Sometimes I fall off the vegan wagon completely and eat cream and cheese and even yogurt. Dont be mad at me, I just felt run down and after 10 years of being off dairy completely I was finding it very difficult to sustain the vegan lifestyle. I assume most of you will understand, I wonder if many of you have not fallen off the wagon, on and off, yourselves. As long as I am confessing, I should say that I have also eaten fish a number of times in the past few years. I dont do it often, but when I do what a rush of protein I feel. Wow. I go out to dinner with people who are hard core carnivores, actually that is exclusively who I go out to dinner with. I dont know another vegetarian here in the Midwest. The carnivores get angry and frustrated that I dont eat anything as they call it. If I try to create meals out of the exclusively meat and fish entries on the menu, they become embarrassed. So I eat fish sometimes in these circumstances. So, definitely Almost Vegan. By many accounts (because of the fish), I am almost vegetarian. I dont mind this thought. My years put in as a good vegan I feel have really paid off. If I dont jump off the wagon completely, and I find that I dont. I very much appreciate the dairy and the fish when I indulge in them. My vegan base gives me a great diet. I do not consume very much animal products at all. Never meat. So I continue my vegan quest, though not as fanatical as before.
