I never felt better, physically or emotionally, than when I was a vegan.
I didn't quit doing it because it was making me sickly and frail (anyone
who has seen me -- I'm very, very large -- never again maintained that a
vegan will waste away to nothing). I quit because I began living with
meat-eaters, and it was just easier to go with the flow.
