I dated a vegan on and off for 3 years (which pretty much made me a vegan) and I followed a strict vegetarian diet for 9 months. I have mixed feelings.
It certainly is healthy: at first. But severly cutting your dietary options over the long run takes some careful planning and dedication. It's very easy to eat far too many McDonald's french fries and Taco Bell 7-layer burritos.
Being a vegan depends (to an incredible degree) on your geographical location. Avoiding meat, dairy, eggs, honey, and gelatin in London is a piece of cake but damn near impossible in Chicago.
UB, if you or anybody else on here has any questions about it, I'm somewhat knowledegable at this point.
