Wow good for her! I could not take being vegan, for me cheese is a staple. I have been meat free for 15 years which to me is easy.

Thats a great thing. I do agree due to some situations vegan diet cannot be adopted.

I am a vegetaria, not a vegan. I can't be a vegan. I love curd, butter, ice cream etc... Dairy products are actually necessary for a healthy diet.

True but these days there are more alternatives and vegan products that are nearly substituting nutritional values of dairy products. vegan is trending these days :)

it is indeed very challenging to be a vegan, because practically most of the food we available is of dairy products. i admire their determination though.

True !! but few companies do manufacture vegan products that are similar to dairy products , also few people replaced almond , soy milk to replace dairy milk. they have more nutritional values but a bit costlier. These days i saw many people going vegan so i think there will be more vegan products available in future at economic cost.

For me being vegan would be tough. Also I don't really see the need at this point in my life. If I made it to 60 without being vegan, it's not likely I'll live another 60 years with good health, if I change my diet strategy now. Although, it may help the animals live longer.

But whoever chooses to be a vegan, go right ahead! There are many people out there who are and they are happy about it! Like you say ... Respect!

I'm vegetarian and not vegan, and I know it's hard to be vegetarian some days. From what I learned from other's it all depends on the will and determination, and if it makes someone happy. Good job to your sister.

I think it maybe hard in the beginning but then it becomes a part of life...its a personal choice. I suppose your sister uses a lot of soyabeans?

Yes true ARM , yeah she used soy milk along with it she switched her tea and coffee to black tea and black coffee.Also she use use cashew milk for prepared few sweets that enhanced the flavour.Even she was a great fan of dairy products but somehow managed everything with vegan alternatives.

Its nice to know that you respect the lifestyle of those whose lifestyle is different from yours. Being vegan doesn't mean not having milk at all soya milk is what vegan drinks. One of my friend is vegan and Foodie as well. Hard to believe? Being Vegan doesn't mean having not yummy foods at all. We have vegan chocolates, vegan recipe for cakes and much more! :)

Well being a began would be tough for me as I like meat and poultry and dairy products and most other stuff vegans cant eat. Its a choice people make. So if its tough its their choice.

It's something I gave up on, I only eat fish no chicken or meal beside fish and it's because I need vitamins in the winter. It depends on what you feel needed for eating

@Ruchitha (131)

Yes , she is happy and healthy and moreover she is discovering new recipes alternative to dairy products, she is always a happy person but being vegan did not let her feel sad in anyway. She also meditates to nourish her soul happiness.These all are making her feel and stay more happier.

To be very honest, I'd never be able to go vegan. It's not easy to give up on something you like eating so much and switching to dairy free products. I'm a big foodie and on the top of it I'm non vegetarian so I don't think I'd be able to acquire vegan lifestyle

@Ruchitha (131)

Yeah , i agree the options are narrow , but yet its possible to search more alternatives, they use soy and almond milk in place of milk and mostly people adapt green and organic teas, similarly many options are being explored by vegan die harders. :)

Yes true Shanya !! They do this so sincerely that being vegan would be a fantasy for few people. I too tried for few days , once while walking through streets the piping hot jalebi and some milk sweets tempted me and there ended my vegan journey, ha ha !!
