    Good plan. I'm leaning at going this direction just because the raw food makes prep much easier. Lol. I prefer not to be labeled vegan, vegetarian, meat eater, or anything else. I just call it eating for health. Nutritarian is another term I've heard too describe it. Lol. I'm sure I will still eat some meat but I'm picky about how the meat was raised and I don't like to make meat the main dish of the meal.

    I'm not a vegetarian by any means, it's just that the majority of what I eat is plants. I do like a good ribeye now and then and eat fish at least two or three times a week.

    I suppose if you roll into a Walmart to restock supplies every week you could do it. Truck stops generally only have overpriced apples.

    Yes, you are correct. I replenish my refrigerator at least twice a week, usually at a Walmart. I can usually get it done when taking a 30, sometimes when planning to take a 10 at a Walmart that I know is truck friendly.

    I agree with you, except for the meat. I love my meat. I do not buy store bought meat though. I have a couple local farms who i get all my meat needs from. Cow, bull, steer, turkey, pig, rabbit, chicken, duck, quail etc. All raised within 10 miles from me, on good quality farms. The kind of people you go talk to for an hour or two before even checking out the selection.
    I also get a moderate portion of meat from the woods like deer and turkey. One day soon, i hope to make it to north central pa and hunt for elk. One meat in pa ive never had.

    Now you have me hankering to go hunting again. I want to bag a pronghorn antelope from central Wyoming, the sage fed herds. I understand that sage permiates the meat.

    Ive heard that about inland bears too, who only eat bluberries as the major part of their diet....instead of fish. I heard the meat is sweet and a hint of blueberry flavor. I would love to try that blueberry bear. Ha.

    Dont forget eggs, these girls here will move into their coop outside in another week, then another 12-16 weeks before we get eggs. Love these little dinosaurs, they've been like little food disposal systems for when im to lazy to go to the compost bin.

    If your going to eat oysters, sardines, etc as a vegan. Then you might as well find you a little chicken farm to get some eggs and get good protein in your diet.

    Im not knocking plant eating, its 90% of my breakfast and dinner plate. But chickens will always have eggs, might as well not let them go to waste.

    Veganism = no animal products dietary or otherwise. That includes leather obviously and so many things you probably would never even consider. It's nearly impossible to be a true vegan.
