You're embracing veganism when...

You're embracing veganism when...


You know the exact nutritional content of kale, when it's in season, where you can buy it and 63 recipes for using it...

You know the secret mysteries of tofu (both kinds) and seitan and have lost your nervousness about cooking with them....

You realise that you'll never again suffer from constipation, ever...

You've used up all of the trendy herb and spice sets you keep being given each xmas...

Time spent waiting in queues always flies by as you ponder what smart witty answers you can give to dumb questions you get asked about being vegan (we all know what they are)...

You get excited by food again - not the restriction - the opportunity!

Your ankles get a little sore from kicking yourself for not using the smart witty answers you had lined up for dumb-ass questions...

There's a spring in your step, a twinkle in your eye and a faint aroma of coconut about your aura...

There are 4 different 'milks' in your fridge...

You need a bigger fridge...

You will sport fashions and T-shirts that 95% of people will never understand and you secretly like being individual...

You have shrunk (in a good way); your wardrobe has too...

You will know the difference between spirulina and kelp, and insist they all taste great in a smoothie...

You wave your personal bottle of agave syrup around in cafes slightly too much...

You have developed early onset of the need for varifocals as you squint at ever smaller food labelling... (not a good feature!)

You have learned to live with dog, cat and donkey hair covered fleeces...

You have regained a sense of smell and taste - although this does hinder your use of public transport...

You secretly get a kick out of baffling bar tenders and sommeliers who insist there were never any animals in your drink...

Half your aps are vegan related...

A camper van holiday seems like a good idea...

Ants, wasps, mosquitoes and slugs pose a dilemma...

You never admit to eating (and enjoying) a good nutroast and you pretend to hate lentils, so that you can promote more exotic vegan foods to meaties...

The only reason you might ever buy the Daily Mail is because you find it slightly more absorbent for dog wee...

You can wear what you want, say what you want, do what you want, cos vegans have no stereotypes..... do they??


Am I there yet? nearly...
