About Me



Myspace Layout Generator by TheMyspaceLayout.com

My name is Jeff Halldorson. My wife Kelly has been vegetarian for almost 20 years. This year she became vegan and I plan on trying it out myself for a year and blogging here about it.Over the year I'll also be posting some photos of myself. I'll also be writing about my experience and what I learn throughout the year. Let's see if there is any kind of transformation!?!It's going to be a tough year. I'm a meat and potatoes kind of guy.Why am I doing it?It's an experiment but ultimately the point of veganism in our family is to help reduce the suffering of animals, lessen our impact on the earth and make healthy eating choices.What are the rules?No dairy, no eggs and no meat.
