I really just need to commit to the raw diet. I'm about 80% raw at the moment, but eating out with friends where I live is nearly impossible raw.

I guess that is the biggest problem vegans face. Let me tell you an interesting story. In my small town in the central Serbia where is considered manly to eat as much meat as you can, there is a grill place called "The Lost Lamb", they have all sort of specialties when it comes to meat - grilled that and stuffed this, but its basically a fest food joint. Not being able to eat when you go out, may lead you to not going out at all, which I did back in the day. But one night after my friend birthday party we went out, and they wanted to eat, so they went to the lost lamb. Me being hungry I've asked if they could just make me a sandwich without meat just put some salads in it. They asked me if I wanted a tortilla instead of a regular bun. They put the tortilla on the grill so it would be crispy and thus less mucus forming, covered with some dried paprika spices, and filled it with cucumber, tomato, onions, cabbage... After giving me my order and charging me for it only 0.5$ the sales women asked my if I was fasting. I said no I am vegan. So we agreed that every time I come I'll ask for vegeteriana, and they will prepare the exact same thing.
p.s the look of doubt that people who are waiting in line give me when I come to the window and asking for vegeteriana, and the astonishment when I pick up my order :D
hahah. That's a great story. :) I've had very good luck for the most part, but it is sad when you get served a plain half of a head of iceburg lettuce and that's it. THat's awesome that the place you went to was so accommodating
