much greater variety in their diets once they dump the social pressures that
tell them to eat a certain way.
Don’t feel bound to follow the old rules of what you’re supposed to eat
for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That’s very limiting.
Sometimes I like having a green smoothie for dinner... or several
bananas for lunch... or udon noodles with steamed veggies and peanut
sauce for breakfast.
Realize that you’ve probably been brainwashed to keep eating the same
foods again and again. Going vegan is a great way to cure yourself of such
limited thinking and expand your possibilities.
Eat Vegan on a Budget
Eating vegan can be very inexpensive if you want (or need) it to be. Rice,
beans, pasta, potatoes, sweet potatoes, oats, bananas, millet, quinoa, and
many other foods can provide plenty of calories at low cost. You can live
quite comfortably off low-cost starchy foods, which have been the basis of
large modern civilizations for millennia.
The same goes for eating vegan on a time budget. How long does it take
to eat some fruit? When I’m in a hurry, I’ll make a meal out of several
bananas. Apples are easy to eat while driving. Rice takes a while to cook,
but very little active prep time.
