World Vegan Day 2020
 |
In my lifetime I've known very few vegetarians and no vegans. While I agree it's a healthy alternative as long as the nutrient spread is adequate it just leaves me lacking in the way of satisfaction. After all, if you sit down to a continuous stream of meals that leave you unsatisfied, what's the purpose of eating. It becomes eating to make a point instead of eating what you enjoy.
Today we have another World Vegan Day, that annual event observed by vegans around the world every November 1st.
Various claimed benefits of veganism as they relate to human existence and our environment are celebrated with activities that I likely would not find too interesting, being the unrepentant carnivore that I remain over the years.
World Vegan Day began 1994 by the efforts of one Louise Wallis who was then Chair of The Vegan Society in the United Kingdom commemorating 50th anniversary of the founding of the organization along with the coining of the terms "vegan" and "veganism".
As for me, though the idea of elimination of animal protein and the health benefits of less cholesterol and other food residues resulting from a carnivorous lifestyle are most certainly not lost on me ... this talk of vegans has has given me a strong urge for a bucket of original recipe all of a sudden.
Eat, drink, and be merry ...
