It can be, especially if you hold yourself to too high a standard at first. The important thing is to make changes you feel comfortable with, at your own pace. While reducing your consumption of animal products completely may be ideal, any reduction is a step in the right direction. Here's what Matt Ball, a long-time vegan advocate has written:
"The vegan lifestyle is an ongoing progression. Everyone should go at their own pace and remember that all steps towards veganism are positive. It is most important to focus on avoiding the products for which animals are bred and slaughtered. Animal by-products will exist as long as there is a demand for primary meat and dairy products. When it comes to avoiding items that contain small amounts of byproducts, vegans must decide for themselves where to draw the line. Some vegans will adjust their level of abstinence according to the circumstances. For example, as a consumer, you might make sure the bread you buy is not made with whey; but as a dinner guest, you may accept bread without asking to see the ingredients. These types of compromises can actually hasten the spread of veganism, in that they help counter the attitude that it's very hard to be vegan."

Sappiamo che i vegani nel mondo non sono molti ma in costante aumento. Dopo due anni e mezzo di vegetarianesimo era ora del grande passo… perché la rivoluzione più grande è quella che si fa tutti i giorni (tre volte al giorno: colazione, pranzo e cena - come dice Lella dei troglodita tribe).
E tu? Qual è il tuo rapporto con il cibo? Mangi tutto e indiscriminatamente o sei un fanatico del "Km0"? Onnivoro o Breathariano mi farebbe piacere se lasciassi un’ impronta del tuo passaggio qui…
