Vegan Skinny Bitch

I am the biggest condiment whore you will absolutely ever meet. Currently an Emerson College senior in Boston.

I've been vegan since early April 2010, and until now haven't been using it to lose weight - at least not to the extent I now plan to. The vegan lifestyle is devoid of murder, cruelty, speciesism, and contribution to the rape the dairy industry exists from - and I'll never go back from it. I'm here to prove that being vegan is not only delicious [and easy], but also the healthiest way to live and achieve a healthy weight. I do not support the ALF or PETA. Let's just get that out of the way now. I will be updating with pictures of my progress as well as easy recipes [college student easy]. Feel free to ask any questions you'd like!

QuestionI was just looking down below at your blog and the rude asks you have been recieving about working non-vegan jobs. I think that is stupid, no one can really get a job wherever they want, you have to take what you can get. I mean, I think if I get hired at a place that sells non-vegan food, etc, I'm going to do it because a) People need jobs and finding them is hard and B)I don't mind "stealing from the rich and giving it to the poor" kind of analogy. Ill use that money to support vegan companies Answer

I agree with you very much, Anon! Obviously it isn’t ideal, but the fact of the matter is, we have choices to make, especially those of us who work in restaurant settings. When you’re young, finding jobs that AREN’T in food service is just fucking hard. But what the hell are you supposed to do? Money is a fact of life. In America, it’s a fact of survival. There’s a difference between slaughtering animals on factory farms for money (which WOULD be hypocritical) and having to cook California burgers and chicken satay every other weekend for money.

Because of me, my cafe now has a vegan burger option for those nights. Our satay sauce is not only allergen-free (made from sesame seeds), but it’s also vegan. I’ve made vegan scones and cookies there before and people raved about them. Our wheat and ciabatta breads are vegan. We have vegan chili EVERY DAY and tons of people get it. We have soy milk. All of our salad dressings are vegan. I’ve rearranged our food drawers so that no dairy allergens can potentially contaminate the vegan foods. I sometimes make a vegan French toast special. I’ve gotten several of my coworkers to stop eating meat entirely.

What people need to understand is that every day, we vote vegan or not-vegan. We vote with our money. When I take the money I earn at the cafe and go grocery shopping for all vegan products and produce, I’m voting for vegan. This is the language companies knows: supply and demand.

Thank you for the support, Anon. <3
