Vegan

My friend is a vegan, but I don't understand her diet.
I always thought you couldn't eat much other than vegetables.

But she seems to be eating fake chicken and ham. Isn't that cheating though?

How is it cheating? It's not flesh.

@Fernie I always thought that if you went vegan that you would not eat anything especially if it tasted or looked like meat.

@HampshireHunny Not at all! I have not eaten meat or fish for over 30 years.I will say that I salivate at the smell of grilled meat. I just won't eat any of it for various reasons. I was thrilled to find substitutes because unfortunately, meat really does TASTE good and we sometimes crave it. The point of vegetarianism and Veganism is to not eat animals.
