Hello Orlena! Good! This is the first step. I 'real' and strict vegan wouldn't call me a vegan yet. I still make compromises for example when being invited. Invitations with serving a lot of different delicious foods is a big deal in many cultures. We are just coming back from a barbecue with family and friends and there was sour cream in the filling of the mushrooms and yoghurt in the hoummus ... I enjoyed the family meal and didn't complain. At least they tried to please me with a few vegetarian options. But when it comes to buy food I want to cook for me at home, I always choose the vegan option. I don't eat meat for 20 years now anyway and I don't buy dairy products and eggs and avoid stuff with it as an ingredient.
