Does it have Worcestershire sauce? Then nope.
2. Animal products are like, really sneaky.
Oy, they use fish bladder in Guinness? Seriously?!
3. Someone will always tell you that you can “cheat just this once.”
No, I can’t. That’s the point.

6. Yeah, some things won’t taste the same if you make them vegan.
7. But other things will still taste awesome.
Guess what’s vegan and still tastes great? Pie…Fruity Pie.
4. You’ll always get some people rolling their eyes when you tell them about your diet.
Whatever, you do you man.

Yessssss no awkward looks from waiters tonight.
8. There are some truly awesome vegan recipes out there.
9. Going out anyplace where there’s food can be rough.

10. You can do this. You got this.
Be proud of who you are.
