Plant Powered Planet Magazine

eat vegan, gradually start
weaning yourself off over
time. Get some vegan cook
books and start cooking.
Fall in love with vegetables.
If you are not into cooking
there is such a huge range
of vegan produce in the
supermarkets these days,
everything is clearly labelled
too. Give yourself a month
to adjust. A bit like quitting
smoking, don’t worry if you
fall off the wagon. Get back
on it again, and don’t give
up giving up.
Life changing moment - go
and spend some time with
animals and really deeply
consider why it’s ok to love
a dog, but eat a cow or pig.
Examine your justifications
for eating animals for your
own taste pleasure when
you really don’t need to
and stop making excuses.
Change for good.
‘Dirty’ Vegan Food
I think, of course, there is
a place for dirty vegan, but
my personal path with veganism
is also paralleled
by healthy eating and good
nutrition. This is also the
case at Stem & Glory; we
aim to offer really tasty, and
healthy vegan food, made
just from vegetables. I think
in the next 5-10 years this
will become a dominant conversation
as of course just
because it’s vegan doesn’t
mean it’s healthy. The first
vegan I ever met was overweight
and living on a diet of
potato chips. So yes, whilst
your double stacked deep
fried seitan burger with
lashings of mayo, huge bun
and mac’n’cheese and dirty
fries on the side might taste
delicious, it should probably
be an occasional treat and
not a staple.
