Today was hell. I was travelling in cabs and planes for much of the day, and interviewing for the rest. Lunch was at a cajun fish restaurant; dinner was the best I could do at the airport (sorry, fishies!). I hope no vegan who reads this concludes, from my meals, that it is impossible or frankly even hard to maintain one's veganism on this diet. The answer is that it is not--as long as you have access to a kitchen or at least a well-stocked grocery store, rather than being forced to eat in restaurants and hotels and airports.

Hmm, I did the SBD years ago before i became vegan and it did work so i was really happy to see you'd written a blog about a vegan version but on reading just a few days worth of it so far, it's pretty misleading to call it vegan or even vegetarian seeing as you also ate fish. I appreciate how difficult it is to find restaurants to accommodate vegans even now but when it comes to a choice between sticking to SBD or keeping vegan values I'd have just gone with a salad and fries if that's all they could do. It's a shame you refer to veganism as a freakish diet - it's so much more than that and it's hard enough to get the majority of meat eaters to accept veganism as a new normal without calling ourselves freaks. Namasté.
