I’m unemployed and involuntarily vegan for health reasons. Dried mixed beans, brown rice, and frozen vegetables are keeping me alive.

I’m a scientist. Beans are a fruit, of the musical variety.

Dollar store spices will help you thrive.
MisterNeon@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Solid advice, I highly endorse it.

Careful though, they recently recalled dollar store cinnamon because it had lead in it

Dirt is really expensive if you’re unemployed. Some herbs and veg are quite happily grown kratky style, but that also comes with its own challenges

The first week of vegan is brutal. But it gets better.

I’ve been like this since December. I’m miserable. I’m a vegetarian because I hate animals. I have high blood pressure so I cut out animal fat and booze.

If you hate animals, I don’t think you’re doing this right.
MisterNeon@lemmy.world 36 minutes ago
Nope I know what I’m doing. Animals are made of blood and guts which I find gross. They’re also annoying. I don’t want them to be a part of me.

Cook mushrooms in rice or beans. Add wallnuts. Supposedly walnut and no other but has shown to help lower blood pressure.
gilokee@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
not really. Especially if you have access to vegan chick’n nuggies and corn dogs and junk.

The moment you stop eating meat you’ll notice just how hard society wants you to chew on dead animals. Your friends, your family, the TV commercials, the radio. They never talk about a juicy mushroom taco. It just Burger this and pork that everywhere you go. That’s what I mean by brutal. And its always an inconvenience for the cook to not add dead animal or smear your food with animal milk products.

I was on a work crew once when I was vegan. We cut trees and all rode to the locations in the same work van. One day we stopped for Ice Cream at a really popular place before calling it the day. Yay on the clock shenanigans, boo, it’s ice cream. They asked if I was cool with it, and of course I said I didnt mind, and just waited in the van.
I almost cried when my supervisor brought me out a slushy. I didn’t know they had them. It was very kind of my supervisor. No one ever made fun of me, but it was definitely obvious to everyone in day to day talk/life I had the dietary restriction.

I was a vegan in the US and now I’m a vegetarian in Japan. Trust me, I know lol.

I love mushroom derived flavors, but eating actual mushrooms, it’s always about texture never the taste

Smear? What milk products are you thinking of? What came to my mind was cheese (which you could call metan tofu, I suppose…), but I would usually expect cheese to be sprinkled, not smeared.

Your body gets used to it. That’s not a problem.

Doesn’t the body get used to eating that many beans? Like, Mexicans eat them all the time. Also I eat them as often as I can and I don’t think they really affect me that much.
dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 20 minutes ago
Yes. You basically have to keep eating that way and your gut flora adjust to compensate. It’s still a pretty windy diet since you rely on those gut-bugs to break down a lot of the sugars in beans.
finitebanjo@piefed.world 10 hours ago
I like to think it has more to do with the dried or dehydrated foods suddenly becoming rehydrated causing a mix of bacterial bloom within the previously barren food and difficulty digesting/passing the food resulting in the carbohydrate fermentation and flatulence as a means of pushing it through, but idk I'm not a butt engineer.
gilokee@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
I soak all my own beans and I don’t have the issue. As someone else said, it may have to do with our individual gut flora or something.
