Wannabe Vegan

My mom and my sister are vegetarians, and I think I might be going veggie as well. It's not so much a choice, I just no longer enjoy meat as much as I used to. If I were to do this by choice, I'm considering becoming a vegan, but it's so hard to find food that doesn't contain animal products. I had a bowl of mini wheats for breakfast and I looked at the ingredients. I think the fourth ingredient was gelatin! I'm wondering how many animal products I eat without even knowing it. It will be easier when I move out and buy my own food. I'm so glad that I took foods class this year: I learned about complementing proteins and such things required to be a healthy vegan. I've heard detailed descriptions of the living conditions of chickens and dairy cattle and I don't want any part in that.
