Look for shelf-stable individual boxes of soymilk for your next road trip. They're a bit expensive and a waste of packaging for everyday use, but since they don't need to be refrigerated, they're perfect for vacations.

The same thing almost happened to me with SoyJoy, too!

I grabbed/bought one of those bars at a Walgreens - I was in a hurry and just assumed it was vegan... Luckily I happened to glance down at the ingredient list when I stepped outside, which led to me turning right back around to return it.

The funny thing is, the cashier who helped me was also a vegan (she was Indian and said it was for cultural/religious reasons), and I NEVER meet vegans in my daily life! So, we ended up having a big discussion about recipes and cooking, which was really cool!

Anyway, good luck on your 30-day challenge! I'm glad to have found your blog and plan to keep checking in to see how the rest of it goes...

i'm so impressed and shocked! i can't believe you two went vegan. I'm interested to see if you keep at it after 30 days. :) good luck!

It is so wonderful that you guys have taken this on and are doing it seriously. I have decided to give up diet cola, hot dogs, burgers, bacon, jello and pepperoni. I will also buy no more bottled water this month and i will compost all the scraps into the worm bin without complaining.

You go, guys! We've got all the zucchini you ...

I seriously love this blog. Although I don't think I could do the Vegan lifestyle, I'm entertaining the idea of trying the life of a vegetarian. We'll see!

Yeah, the whole tap water/rubber thing is beyond our control. If it's OBVIOUSLY not Vegan, such as an "Andes Candy", probably shouldnt eat it. If your purchasing a new tire and it clearly states that animal products are in it, opt for the non animal product one.

We are not selling our car, although its mostly plastic, im not throwing away my expensive leather purse - Im just not using it until I decide the right thing to do with it.

Im sure we will make mistakes. Im adding you to the followers list Kiley!

I'm loving your blog! I can't believe you started already! congrats! I'm not committing to 30 days of veganism, but I will commit to not eating out/take out for 30 days (this will be good for my budget as well).:-) Keep up the good work, I will get my mom to be a "follower" for you. :-)

So where do we draw the line on the processes used to make food? For instance a lot of tap water is filtered using animal bone charcoal, so can we only drink what kind of water? Or since animal fat is used in the production of steel and most rubber (tires) can we drive a car or ride a bike? What about the trucks that deliver the food... the trucks are made of steel and rubber... AHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I'm sticking to the obvious animal ingredients for now :-). Sriracha was delicious in my brown rice and veggie stir fry!

Although... I did accidentally have an andes mind at lunch the other day. I put in my mouth and then remembered the whole "milk chocolate" part of the mint and was like "ah, damn it!"

Yea...
