Do some reading yo! Soy is safe when it’s not GMO. ;)

You might want to be careful with eating so much unfermented soy – it is very estrogenic, and for certain women can cause serious hormonal issues/imbalances. For example, many breast cancers are fed by estrogen, and women who are diagnosed with these kind of cancers are advised to avoid soy products (especially unfermented ones).

if you think soy egg nog tastes better than the real thing, then you are either smoking crack, or mixing the crack in with the egg nog.

I am IMPRESSED at how easy and fast you have seemed to take to veganism. I know that I wouldn’t be able to do it, I would miss seafood too much I am already lactose intolerant though so the dairy part would be easy.

Everything looks awesome!

@yeah: carbs are not the devil, contrary to what magazines say. they are necessary for energy and brain function and if you just exercise a bit they will burn off very quickly. and because vegans do not eat dairy which is nothing but fat and calcium (which you can get from dark leafy greens) the weight does tend to come off faster than if you eat dairy and cut out carbs. i am a vegetarian (and also a pastry chef) who loves carbs, but when i want to drop a few pounds i just cut out all dairy and i can lose 5 pounds in about 10 days. its like magic! but then someone busts out the triple cream brie and the 5 pounds comes right back! grrrrr…..

YAY for a positive post about a vegan thanksgiving! I appreciate you taking the time away from your blog to post something personal (unlike some of your readers) I think it makes for a better blog.

And how appropriate that you chose a compassionate vegan post for it. I think it’s great that you tried new things. Thanksgiving is supposed to be people being thankful for what they have. So go on girl!

I support you 100%!!

Justwondering – some people are dietary vegans only, but many vegans avoid *all* animal products, including leather, silk and (in some cases) wool. Some vegans think wool is OK because the sheep doesn’t have to die to give it. But there are also other dietary things you might not think of, like avoiding honey or vinegar.

I am trying to get my boyfriend to cut down on the meat-eating. He usually wants pasta, too. I don’t get it. He bitches about everything I eat, and everything I make him, and the only thing that can make him happy is fettucini steak ravioli potato pancake. But for some reason today he snapped and bought Morningstar chicken nuggets and Boca burgers. I could NOT believe it. Yaaay!

Happy thxgiving, btw, marshmallows don’t only cointain gellatin but also egg whites (they’re actually their main ingredient) congrats on your vegan celebration!

I am so glad you had a VEGAN and HAPPY Thanksgiving. We had a vegan thanksgiving too with mashed potatoes, gravy and stuffing all made vegan and organic and they rocked! (Vegan cooking gets more creative and tasty the more you learn about it, trust me.)

Keep it freaky, keep it vegan!
Love to you.

ps. Vegan pregnancy is totally possible. I already have a vegan 3-year old kid and I’m pregnant with my second! :) tata!
