I’m 26 and I have been vegetarian for 6 years, with the intention of transitioning to complete vegan.

This September, I will trial an entire month living a vegan lifestyle including the food I eat, the clothes I wear, the beauty and cleaning products I use and any other products I may consume.

I’ve created this blog to share my thoughts, tips, tricks and overall experience throughout this challenging month.

If you too feel the desire to go vegetarian or vegan, I’d love to hear from you.

Enjoy.</description><title>My Life Without Exploiting Animals</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @septembervegan)</generator><link>http://septembervegan.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>For the last day of September, I think I deserve a little treat</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsbux2R3DE1r2va0fo1_500.png"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the last day of September, I think I deserve a little treat&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://septembervegan.tumblr.com/post/10842242480</link><guid>http://septembervegan.tumblr.com/post/10842242480</guid><pubDate>Fri, 30 Sep 2011 18:43:50 +1000</pubDate><category>vegan</category><category>chocolate</category><dc:creator>philtucker</dc:creator></item><item><title>Special request vegan breakfast on Qantas Flight 400</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lry0z0mIve1r2va0fo1_500.png"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Special request vegan breakfast on Qantas Flight 400&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://septembervegan.tumblr.com/post/10535670388</link><guid>http://septembervegan.tumblr.com/post/10535670388</guid><pubDate>Fri, 23 Sep 2011 09:23:06 +1000</pubDate><category>vegan</category><category>breakfast</category><category>airplane food</category><category>qantas flight</category><dc:creator>philtucker</dc:creator></item><item><title>thevegancheese:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;What Does SCIENCE Teach Us?&lt;br/&gt;Compare Humans, to Animals, that eat MEAT: the Human body,&lt;br/&gt;compared to that of a Carnivore’s, an Omnivore’s and a Herbivore’s. &lt;br/&gt;The Human body is more like that of a Herbivore’s body! &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;►FRONT TEETH:&lt;br/&gt;Carnivores are sharp and pointed for tearing. &lt;br/&gt;Humans &amp; Herbivores are broad, flattened &amp; spade shaped.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;►BACK MOLARS: &lt;br/&gt;Carnivores are jagged and blade shaped. &lt;br/&gt;Humans are flattened with nodular cusps.&lt;br/&gt;Herbivores are flat with cusps vs complex surface.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;►SALIVA:&lt;br/&gt;Carnivores no digestive enzymes.&lt;br/&gt;Humans &amp; Herbivores have carbohydrate digesting enzymes.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;►STOMACH ACID:&lt;br/&gt;Carnivores have stronger stomach acids to break down meat.&lt;br/&gt;Humans &amp; Herbivores stomach acid is 20x weaker than Carnivores. &lt;br/&gt;In fact, it is about 5% the strength of a Carnivores.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;►SMALL INTESTINES:&lt;br/&gt;Carnivores are short, 3x their body length. [for quick digestion]&lt;br/&gt;Humans &amp; Herbivores are long, 10-12x their body length. [for slower digestion]&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;►LARGE INTESTINES:&lt;br/&gt;Carnivores are short.&lt;br/&gt;Humans &amp; Herbivores are long.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;►SKIN PORES:&lt;br/&gt;Carnivores no skin pores, perspire through their tongues.&lt;br/&gt;Humans have skin pores, perspire through skin.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;►NAILS:&lt;br/&gt;Carnivores have sharp claws.&lt;br/&gt;Humans have flattened nails.&lt;br/&gt;Herbivores flattened nails or blunt hooves.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;►MEAT=WASTE&lt;br/&gt;7,000,000,000 billion livestock Animals in the United States, &lt;br/&gt;consume 5x as much grain as is consumed directly by the&lt;br/&gt;entire American population. 41,000,000 tons of plant protein&lt;br/&gt;is fed to livestock to produce 7,000,000 tons of Animal protein.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.iskcon.com/node/2427/2009-12-10/meat_truth"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.iskcon.com/node/2427/2009-12-10/meat_truth"&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.iskcon.com/node/2427/2009-12-10/meat_truth"&gt;http://news.iskcon.com/node/2427/2009-12-10/meat_truth&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br/&gt;AND…A True Meat-Eater Will Eat Their Meat RAW!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
