In the beginning...

People are so funny. When they hear the word "vegan" they try to run, they automatically thing "gross" or "nasty", definitely not something they'd eat under any circumstances. I was doing some grocery shopping earlier with my little brother, who put a box of iced strawberry poptarts in the cart. I asked him if it would be okay for us to get the non iced ones, because those are vegan, that way I could eat one too. "Poptarts aren't vegan!" he shrieked. "I bet you'd be surprised how many foods you love are vegan! How about a carrot stick? Peanut butter and jelly? Or an Oreo?" He had a very skeptical look on his face, and proceeded to read random labels as we finished shopping. "Omgosh Reese's Puffs are vegan?", horrified that he had inadvertantly been consuming "nasty vegan food" his whole life. This just made me chuckle :) I love Luke.
