For the most part I tend to gravitate towards real food - plants (a few) grains, with very little prcocess vegan fare. Eventually I'll commit a fully raw vegan diet as I feel over all hte best when my diet consist of this. Howver these days I do make the occasional exccpetion with more refined, higher processed vegan food - rarely and usually for special times of celebration (and sometimes just to go out is a celebration). Today was one of thoses days and I went to Great Sage resturant with my wife. Great Sage is totally vegan so you never have to ask about the orgin of any food item on the menue. That's a nice change of pace from years of eating out and having to give people (and recieve it in return) the third degree about how your food is being prepared. Howver just because it's vegan doesn't make it healthy. There are always healthy(er) options on a vegan menue but I think even the best options may not be ideal. Most have more fat then we need, more sodium and less nutrional value. As an athlete I'm at my optimal when I eat "clean" and I can definitely feel the ifference with even a slight variance in my diet.
But still it's nice to have this vegan option and a gathering of people who share your iddeals. So celebrate - but keep it to those special times.
Peace,
Eric
