The diet is boring. It will not fill us up. It will make us feel weak and unsatisfied. And it will certainly make us fell less masculine if we are a man.
Yes, all of that is true—that is if we are consuming an animal—centered meat, dairy, and egg diet. These are some of the more common assumptions made about a vegetarian or vegan diet. The typical American’s perception of these diets are that they consist of salads, vegetable side dishes, tofu, white rice, carrot sticks, and not much else. This perception couldn’t be further from the truth.
We all fear change, that’s human nature. In a nutshell, we are abandoning the comfortable and embracing the unknown. Leaving the diet we love (meat, diary, and eggs), to a perceived diet of vegan fare, is a frightening proposition. However, when it comes to diet the only fear and trepidation we should have is if our diet includes flesh and animal byproducts.
