Tofurky ROCKS!

(November - December 2005)

I've got my animal ingredient bible in hand. I'm being Vegan. I'm feeling good!

Oh goodness, what is that in the freezer section at the grocery store? A Tofurky roast! What the hell is that?

Only the best thing ever! During this time I think I ate 4 or 5 of them. Thanksgiving is for Tofurky and so is Xmas. I had the best most compassionate holidays ever. I'm feeling good, but I'm getting angry.

Why Angry? I can't quite explain it but I started feeling disgusted with other people who had no clue about the 'real world' and how they get their food. I found myself in the grocery store checking out other peoples carts. Somehow I equated the amount of dairy and meat in the cart with the size of their butts. There seemed to be a link though. I found myself feeling superior in my decision and disappointed in those closest to me for not following. Though I never preached or was militant I thought that everyone should just care as much as I now did.

In retrospect I think I was trying to reconcile my past to my present and get a handle on where I was.
