I am a vegan.
I'm sorry.  I guess that means more eggs and dairy products for me.
Yea, but I am healthier now.
Did you have heart disease or some chronic disease that required a diet change?
No I did not. I was just fat.
I could understand that.  My ex-wife went vegan for that reason, not because she had some philosophical rejection of animals as food or anything.
It really gives you more energy.
That's what energy drinks are for.  I couldn't go without animal products.  I couldn't imagine some of the extremes like a 100% opposition to animals for any purpose.
