    I've been vegan since the start of the year, and at first it was quite exciting to try different new recipes, vegan versions of staples and new items, different ways of cooking.
    Then I got fucking bored of it.
    And tired and spending so much time and money trying to find decent ingredients, none of them are cheap here in the midwest.
    Then I became piss-poor, work dried up and my wife lost her full time job, and her student pell grant and our lodger moved out. We lost our health insurance, so I can't get my regular medication which has caused me to become depressed and put on weight, and not able to conentrate on my work. We had no money for food and lately have had to go around the food banks and take whatever we could get, most of which was not vegan. Managed to keep the cable on, and the other utilities, but with one client after another bailing I'm just done, too far down the hole. I'm still vegetarian, but the days of spending $30 on ingredients for one meal are over. I tried, but it was just not possible to be full and get everything I needed from the dried beans and freezer burned cookie dough that I was left with a few weeks ago.
