Hi Vegan,

It’s also a sneaky way to get in a bit of B12.

I’ve never tried doing this but thanks for the tip about the nutritional yeast! It just makes sense but I would have never thought of it.

Hi Nicole,
Glad to be of help. And let us know how you fare…

Hi Sue,
Thanks for the kind words.
As for your boss… This is one of the more frustrating things about “outing” yourself. People always seem to see it as a challenge, to knock you off your “morally superior perch. Notice the quotes around “morally superior.” That means they think you think you are morally superior, not that you actually believe that yourself.
Over time I’ve learned to respond to the 2 comments you mention above. To point 1, I say — I can only be responsible for my own actions. Perhaps by doing what I think is right, I will have an impact on other people and they might consider changing their behavior. Or
To point 2 I reply – I do the best I can. Living in this society there is no way for me to be 100% vegan.
As for the beer… we have two links to vegan liquor on the Vegan Resources page under General Information. Hope that helps.
And feel free to vent. Sometimes being vegan can be a lonely road.

First of all, thank you for your blog–I am a regular reader and enjoy it very much. That said, I just needed to vent to someone who would understand. Two things happened at work today (mind you–I do not go around preaching my vegan lifestyle, but several people I work with are aware of it).
1. My boss, after learning I was running to Vitamin Cottage for my lunch, said, “I hate to break it to you, but what you’re doing isn’t having the slightest bit of effect on the situation (animal cruelty). It took all I had not to tell her that her comment was evidence of her ignorance.
2. A co-worker who knows I like beer, said, “Are there organic beers? How do you know that the hops and barley you are drinking in your Coors Lite weren’t sprayed with pesticides containing animal products? So you’re vegan except for your beer?” Oh my god, at this point is when I needed to come vent.
Thanks for listening and thanks for blogging!
Sue

Thank you for the instructions! I haven’t prepared a tofu scramble (besides throwing the frozen Amy’s one into the microwave) so this was really helpful!
