McVegan

Is it possible to change one's diet for the better, when your favorite meal is only five bucks, and sold on every street corner? I have 31 years evidence to the contrary, but I keep trying. Last weekend I read Skinny Bitch, a (usually) funny and off color reminder of good nutrition, from an animal rights perspective.

Since then I've refreshed my commitment to proper eating habits, but have already had to revise twice. Unfortunately naughty things like caffeine are addictive, and I was forced to endure a headache for most of the week. But I succeeded in eating four vegan lunches, and am mostly over caffeine, I hope. So for now I would be happy to repeat this pattern for a few weeks, sans headaches, and maybe even do a few work outs.

Can it be done? Can five dollar happiness be forgotten? Will my tastebuds actually be persuaded that fat and sugar are disagreeable? I really do want to find out some day soon.
