Vegan sounds fine to me, but I couldn't do it more than a day or two at a time. 

Breakfast would suck, though.

Never really thought about breakfast.    :sdeek:

UPDATE: That chicken is on POINT.  Added some stubbs and a little wing sauce to the pulled chicken this morning.  Just ate it up for lunch.  Plus tons left over.

Maybe i'll put it in some kraft mac and cheese tonight.  Whoa.  Could you even imagine that?

Sounds delish for tomorrow, but could imagine wanting to kill myself after eating that everyday for the next year. 

Also, how bad does it suck to be a vegan at breakfast time in a cold climate? 

What is the diet where you are mostly vegan but can have poultry and fish?  I could do that, no prob

Just do you, CNS.  People get too caught up in labeling things.

Speaking of granola, here is a recipe for probably the best i've ever had:

2 3?4 cups rolled oats
1 cup shelled pistachios
1 cup unsweetened coconut chips
1/3 cup pumpkinseeds
1 tablespoon salt
1?2 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3?4 cup dried sour cherries.

1. Preheat oven to 300. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, pistachios, coconut, pumpkinseeds and salt.

2. In a small saucepan set over low heat, warm the sugar, syrup and olive oil until the sugar has just dissolved, then remove from heat. Fold liquids into the mixture of oats, making sure to coat the dry ingredients well.

3. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, and spread granola over it. Bake until dry and lightly golden, 35 to 40 minutes, stirring granola a few times along the way.

4. Remove granola from oven, and mix into it the dried sour cherries. Allow to cool to room temperature before transferring to a storage container. Makes about 6 cups.

Selling overpriced food to people trying the vegan thing has gotta be very lucrative

Vegan really isn't very complicated, and really, that's the point.  I think a better, less-stigmatized term for the same thing is "plant-based diet."  The latter term is also self-descriptive, and it's a good way to think about preparing foods for vegans to eat.  If it is made from or derived from animals or animal products, don't use it to prepare your food.  This includes eggs, milk (and cheese, by extension) and fish (fish are not plants).  There are plenty of great foods you can prepare using only fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, herbs, spices, etc.

Using animal protein as a primary player in your diet tends to leave your body in an overly acidic state and leads to chronic inflammatory conditions.
Isn't there a thread bashing vaccines somewhere you can go troll with your pseudoscience?

I'll be the first to admit that Americans rely too much on animal proteins but his statement was pretty silly.

you guys go ahead and live an existence without chicken fingers and mac and cheese and cheeseburgers and pizza and eggs and buttermilk biscuits and sirloin wrapped asparagus and smoked turkey and pulled pork and lots of other things that taste better than "plant based" materials, i'll just be over here enjoying what i eat while you choke down a shot of wheatgrass.
