Your story made us laugh... vegans usually look like they could use a cheeseburger. We grow our own food, too, and it's not easy. This year we discovered Jerusalem crickets (terrifying things!) and that growing broccoli just isn't worth the trouble. Otherwise, a great harvest of root vegetables that we're still eating on and the usual canned peppers, tomatoes, etc. For us, a mix of vegetables, fruits and meat (from the local butcher) seems right. Looking to your ancestry is a good idea.
