Many have asked, "as a vegan, what do you eat for Thanksgiving?" The simple answer is: the same kind of things I eat every day - fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, (and dark chocolate). I eat what you eat except, I don't eat animals nor animal products.
Many have asked, "don't you feel deprived?" The answer is: No - I feel enriched.
