The curse of the vegan myths

By Giselle Wedemire

Misunderstandings surrounding veganism can give way to myths and silly questions.

While lettuce is great, Picky Bitch Giselle contemplates 
the many great  vegan foods she could be eating. 
Contrary to popular belief, lettuce and tofu aren't a vegan's 
sole diet. For recipe ideas, check out the PPK.

Local vegan Marissa Rae Dick finds this circumstance “frustrating because some people don’t think you’re in the ‘norm’ when you’re living and eating an ethically humble lifestyle.”

Myths about vegans manifest themselves in questions such as, “What do you eat?” and, “Isn’t it hard to go vegan?”

Some assume vegans only eat lettuce and tofu or that we are lacking in minerals. This isn’t the case.

To clarify these myths, be patient and open others’ eyes to how great vegan food can taste. Or, check out our related article.
