I completely understand the moral stance, but you aren't insinuating that eating in any way other than vegan is not healthy are you? As in when you first switched to a Vegan diet and you're body freaked out because you were eating healthy.
I’m saying that how I was eating (lots of eggs, tuna, cheese, icecream, and a highschoolers diet heavy on chips, bread, and pop tarts) was unhealthy. So when I started eating whole plant foods, my body wasn’t used to all the fiber and natural sugar and to the HEALTH (lol), and it freaked out.1 -

I read this as "have you found your digestive system yet?" and blacked out the rest of the question when my mind went all overactive; hence my question: will I be less tired if I go vegan?0 -
If you enjoy chocolate, what's your favorite vegan chocolate? My favorite bar (vegan or not, but it happens to be vegan) is Equal Exchange Very Dark, but I'm always looking for chocolate recommendations.0

It’s real, but people use their own free will to try and take away the free will of others.0 -

Neither, because almonds are tortured and slaughtered all across California, so I’m boycotting them.0 -
Do you use a special vegan toothpaste?(since some use animal byproducts in them)0

You’ll be the same. Especially if you stay up until midnight pondering the question “if you drink human breast milk, are you still vegan?”
The answer is yes. Go to bed.0 -

I don’t like chocolate. It causes me to bloat up and then I can’t take a proper poop for a day. The struggle!0 -

Mothers don't stop liking their children when they don't behave.

Amazing, I can't see myself boycotting almonds.
That’s too bad. You could always replace them with rain water. Lots of calcium and heavy metals in that!0 -

I think they're saying having a bad poop reaction to chocolate is no reason to not like it, because...well, CHOCOLATE.0 -

Funny you should say that, because my friend is lactose intolerant and she always has coffee with milk and it’s hilarious because minutes later it’s like someone gave her a bottle of laxatives.
I’d still rather have my routine poops everyday than eat chocolate. Plus, I’m a vanilla girl.0 -

Oh....I see.
But did you know that dietary cholesterol is not responsible for the majority of high levels of it in the blood. For a vast majority of people, while I wouldn't recommend it as good balanced diet, if they ate nothing but eggs everyday, for every meal, their blood cholesterol would actually plummet.
But mix that with chips, bread and pop tarts and yes, your body would most likely spike your cholesterol levels.
Sounds like you are doing well. I definitely believe there are many different ways to eat healthy. I think it's awesome you found something that works great for you, as well as being morally conscious. Very cool1
