For the longest time, I thought about quitting because my energy levels would take a serious hit late in the day. I refer specifically to the two times I fell asleep on the train and missed the stop for AU. Luckily, I&nbsp;have unlimited Metro passes through the school, so I could sleep&nbsp;till the end of the line if I wanted to. It&#8217;s just that I don&#8217;t want to. I&#8217;d rather be woke (literally), so after my&nbsp;second time falling asleep, I ponied up and bought some hemp protein powder with added iron\u2014and after the first scoop of (terrible tasting) powder, I&nbsp;could actually function. Once again, this episode only serves to highlight why veganism is far from the perfect diet and why I am a fool&nbsp;for doing it in the first place. But I&#8217;m also very stubborn, so pass me the hemp&nbsp;powder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been vegan for two months now, but the reason it hasn&#8217;t come up yet is because a) I&#8217;m sick of the stereotype that vegans can&#8217;t shut up about being vegans, and b) I finally feel comfortable with being vegan.
