Being Vegan in Southwest Florida

Like many people my vegan journey started by watching the Netflix documentary "What the Health." And I have to say it is a "journey" because though I made the decision on a Saturday night to begin eating only plant based foods on Sunday (July 2, 2017), I was unable to fully comply with my decision for a couple of weeks. First I had to buy the right foods, which, I had planned on grocery shopping on Sunday anyway. Then I discovered that my local Winn Dixie had very few vegan choices, other than the produce section itself. Then I tried to go out to eat, what a disaster.

The Mix, on Palm Beach Blvd, had absolutely no vegan choices. I ended up having to eat fish and french fries. I've had better luck at Perkins in Lehigh Acres, at least there I could have a southwest salad and have them hold the chicken and add extra avocado. Today my family wants to go to Red Lobster on Cleveland Ave. I will let you know how that goes.
