I am not strictly vegan (except for Lent this year I am eating no processed food or animal products, except apparently not Sundays since I ate half a cupcake today), but I prepare almost all of my meals and seldom use any animal products. The rest of my family is omnivorous and I have bites of their food sometimes. American food is very tempting (which of course is why it is so successful, 69% of adults are overweight, and 35% of adults are obese). Are you saying you are not vegan only in that you eat dairy and eggs? I don't have any trouble at all avoiding these, assuming that I am cooking for myself, not sure why you would find it difficult. I really like the podcast "Main Street Vegan", and the book. Victoria Moran is a great supporter of veganism and a great speaker. It seems that most of her motivation comes from her disgust at the treatment of animals in the factory farming that we use, but there is a lot of health info as well.
