The hardest part for me is knowing what I can and cant eat, what is good and what isn't! As it doesn't always tell you. I'm still getting used to it all. Xx
I'm sure we will!! Hopefully the labels will become clearer once we get used to it all!! Lol ❤I feel the same! But I'm sure we will soon become experts in reading labels and in knowing what products to avoid altogether - ha ha! I suppose as veganism becomes more widely acknowledged, it will hopefully become easier to find vegan options in the shops. Keep it up!
Wow that's great thanks alot xxOn the other hand you might be surprised at was IS vegan:

OK, it's mostly junk, but if you're just trying the new diet it's always comforting to know which chocolate biscuits you can still have!
I also find this website incredibly useful: http://www.barnivore.com/
It lets you know which alcoholic drinks are vegan and which aren't. You might not be aware that, often, beverages are filtered through isinglass (beer, wine, spirits) and therefore do not qualify as vegan.
I've been eating vegan or vegetarian for many years now and I still have to check E-numbers (when I rarely buy foods with E-numbers) but there's a helpful list here: http://elated.co.za/which-e-numbers-are-vegan/ However I made many mistakes, particularly when I just started, and the point is to be kind to yourself. Honest mistakes are not worth getting too upset about.
Lastly the Vegetarian Society have a very useful database of approved products. I believe you can filter for vegan options as well but it will certainly help you on your way.
I feel the same way with bacon and roasting pork odours ... I don't know why but it conjures up human associated imagery. Been watching too many crime-thrillers on the box, I daresay. I was not a bacon/pork person prior to being vegan anyway. As a little child I didn't like pork, sausages, bacon nor ham ... and I had no idea they came from the same animal.I've only been following a vegan lifestyle for a week now and I feel healthier than I have ever felt in my life.
I was at a party today with a buffet of omni foods. The smell of fried chicken already makes me feel physically sick.
