Wow, these comments are great!

I am so excited to see that #VeganWeek has sparked a discussion about what we eat (and don’t) — that’s, to me, the most important thing.

And you reminded me that I have enough bulgur in my pantry to last a lifetime, so I need to make some yummies with it!

living without a label is much more ‘do-able’ and while I strive for a mainly vegetarian way of eating, hell I’ll say it, I can not live without my sushi we should embrace the moment rather than living life through an invisible barrier.

Leslie, your posts are always so insightful and amazing! I agree with one of your readers – you should write for health/food magazine. Your writing style and pictures are perfect.

I wouldn’t classify myself as vegetarian since I’ll eat a bit of fish/meat when that’s the only option available. Although I can’t remember the last time I ate some. While I try to eat as much whole foods as I can, I also do not restrict myself from fun stuff like chocolates and ice cream.

such an amazing post. you’re so insightful. I completely agree! I fit into no category. I went vegan for a day and it was extremely difficult for me. I, too, realized that no category is the best category for me. lots of love :)

this is a great post. i am having a really hard time sticking with the foods that are good for my stomach. that is just foods which are high in soluble fiber and NO insoluble fiber. which basically cuts out almost all veggies and fruits. it’s frustrating but i know i need to do it to get better. i am not categorizing my food for life, but right now i need to do this to even be able to eat all foods again

I love your philosophy. Whole foods really are where it’s at.

So funny that people feel the need to categorize one’s eating habits — yet we (especially girls) do it all the time. In the bigger picture it seems so insignificant, right? I myself, as you know, am all over the place — some days I eat sweet potatoes, greek yogurt and kale, and others I’m loving bagels with cream cheese, pizza and cupcakes. I love the inconsistency because it keeps me sane — depriving myself of treats that I truly crave now and then is, in my opinion, an unhealthy way to live. So if I had to categorize myself I guess I’d call myself a natural foods enthusiast with a healthy amount of not-so-natural food cravings.

I’ve certainly become more of a vegetarian (I do still eat organic chicken and fish) but am incorporating more veggies, beans, pulses etc into my diet. I wanted more of a variety and didn’t wanna get bored with the same foods or get stuck in a rut.
