I laughed at the pot luck thread, in fact I posted a few vegan dishes
Our diet is very diverse there are as many different things we eat as you.
It is not plain or boring, I guarantee that if we didn't tell you it was vegan you would never know the difference.
Yes we go out to eat, you be surprised at how accommodating the chefs can be be when you ask. The easiest is Thai food.
We only switched about 15 months ago, but prior to that hadn't had red meat in over 10 years.
Had plenty of fish, chicken, turkey etc. always watching what we ate never over weight but always thought about losing a few lbs.
Never had cardiac issues just noticed over the last 10 years my BP creeping up and my Dr saying what do you expect your getting older take 10mg, then it was 20 then 30 than 40 to get the BP normal.
It was that last increase that ****ed me off with all other parameters normal, you name it I had the test the answer-just take the BP you'll be fine.
After 4 1/2 months I no longer take any meds BP 110/70.
There are many other benefits in the positive way we look & feel.
Am I telling anyone to do eat a plant based diet, nope, if you care to read the documentation you can can make an informed decision on your own.
I will suggest one thing to see which is the best selling documentary on Amazon last year [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Forks-Over-Knives-Colin-Campbell/dp/B0053ZHZI2/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_c"]Forks over Knives[/ame] that $15 may be the best investment in your retirement.
