So where to start? I suppose a bit about who I am would be appropriate. My name is Helen; I am 30, live in Johannesburg, South Africa. I have just completed my Masters in Biochemistry and am about to embark on my PhD. I am married (to Tutti Fruity) and have a gorgeous 15 month old (Smelly Elly). For the month of November I will limit this blog to vegan related rants in honour of Vegan MoFo (Month of Food).
I have been a vegan on and off for about three years, although I have been vegetarian my entire life My husband was an ovo-lacto vegetarian, but went back to eating death (my friendly term for meat) after we married (very convenient timing), my son is presently a pescatarian, I will allow him to make his own choices when he is older. No death enters my home although I do allow dairy, eggs and fish for my son and husband. I am often not a very committed vegan and I fall off the band wagon frequently, especially at social gatherings and restaurants. South Africa is not the easiest place to be vegan. Ingredients like nutritional yeast and agar agar are often difficult to find and usually very expensive, but I am trying my best.
