Answers:
I've been vegetarian for 9 years and vegan for the past 3 months!. Being vegetarian and vegan came so easy for me!. The only thing that is hard it that it takes a lot of planning to be vegan and it can get expensive!. I can't just throw in some easy mac and call it good, I have to think about what i'm going to eat!. But that's been a good thing, because it makes me more conscious about what I put in my body, so i am so much healthier than i used to be!.

As far as diet goes it's probably the easiest place in the world because of the great variety of foods that are available!. But, outside of diet it's much more difficult because of the use of animal based ingredients in so many everyday products!. To avoid all of those products you would have to literally remove yourself from society as we know it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't think so!. I've been a vegan for six months or so, and while it can be difficult going out to eat and to people's houses, I'm passionate about being vegan so I never feel tempted by other foods!. Actually non-vegan foods don't really even register with me as being food items anymore!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I find it hard just to be a vegetarian in the US!. I do find a way though, I just don't go out to eat much, and when I do, me an my family find a good restaurant that has a veggie burger, or pasta, or sumthin!. You may want to consider switching to vegetarian!.!.!. it would make it ALOT easier to eat!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, it really is!. But it is definitely manageable!. It is an individual thing, I don't find it hard to stay away from animal products, but it's hard to find non-animal derived food sometimes, especially sweets and such!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It can be hard!. When I go to people's houses, eating loads of animal products is sometimes unavoidable!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No its not hard!. The only thing I am tempted with is pizza!. like looking at when I'm around them!. But advertisements don't get me!. and definitely not FAST FOOD!! gross!Www@FoodAQ@Com
