The rumors are true, even if you haven’t heard them. I am officially a full on Poser Vegan. Why a Poser? First because I am a non-believer. Second because I am so not hardcore. A little yogurt or milk product or even some Parmesan cheese slips in here and there. Full on Poser Vegan.
So what did I cut out? All of that delicious rich creamy stinky flakey cheese that melts in my mouth. I have kicked the Fage habit out on the street. I may indulge in the occasional ice-cream or gelato, but after all I am a Poser Vegan.
Why? Because I love to eat and want to drop 50 pounds without cutting my quantities. It may not be possible, but I am trying. The devil asked me if I would give up carbs and I said NOOOOOO! I offered up Dairy instead. Do I miss it? No, but I know all well that Cheese is very strong.
Where does a Poser Vegan go out to eat in the Eastern Suburbs of Cleveland? I can always feast at the Organic Energy Cafe, Fire has a vegan dish that let’s me feast while fine dining, and Taza is where I get my baba and hummus on. The rest of the time, home is better and easier. Cheese, I will see you in 2010.
