Impossible Feats: Being Vegan Is Too Hard
A lot of times when people hear that I am vegan they respond that they could never do that. They act like it is this huge, impossible feat to cut animal products out of your diet. They seem to forget that people change their diet every day and that millions of us have already managed to become vegan or vegetarian. I know that it can be hard, but it is not impossible. Nothing is impossible. Just check out what these people have been up to:
* Farm Sanctuary staff members are currently spending their week walking 300 miles from the Taking Action for Animals conference in Washington, D.C. to the Farm’s Country Hoe Down in upstate New York, all to raise money for their former coworker Chuck who is battling brain cancer (and astronomical medical bills).

* Larry “the Marathon Maniac” Macon just ran three marathons in one weekend. The 63-year-old runner currently holds the world record for the most marathons run in one year with 105 completed in 2008. He has run over 500 distance runs total, and didn’t even start running competitively until age 49.
* And let’s not forget the amazing animals, such as Faith, the two-legged dog (shown here) who has learned to walk, hop, and get around any way possible. And of course the millions of animals that put up with abuse every day and live in situations that most people would consider impossible living arrangements.
People and animals do amazing things every day that most of us would consider difficult if not impossible. So go ahead, tell me again that being vegan is too hard …
Check back tomorrow for more about how easy it is to be vegan!
