What's Your Edge
David Benefield : Poker Blog So I wanted to take a few moments and share what I ate today. Today was the first day of the vegan diet, and it was awesome. I am getting help from Phillip (magentaradio on 2p2), he is preparing all of the meals and is a super cool guy. My initial plan was to do this for a 2 week trial, but I could easily see this lasting for the entire summer. I felt great eating everything, and it was all delicious.
In other news I have been pretty busy in the last week engaging in much debauchery in my first week in Vegas. Lisa came into town, and all my roommates were here so we were going out a lot. Joe had a couple girlfriends from jersey fly in and we went out a ton. Was a great time. My favorite night was a date night where Lisa and I went to go see The Phantom of the Opera at Venetian, then did the tasting menu at Valentino’s. I mentioned that in my blog, and it was probably one of the best nights of my life. Anyways, here is the first day of me being vegan.

How much dope do you have to smoke to eat this kind of stuff? Im guessing 1 to 2 cups.

"looks delicious, i'd happily eat like this everyday tbh. too much preparation needed though"
that and be able to afford it - meat is not good

Booya, keep up the veganism. I also recommend reading "animal liberation" by Peter Singer, it will help you appreciate the ethical side of veganism, which makes it easier to stick to.
