not really. Especially if you have access to vegan chick’n nuggies and corn dogs and junk.
Comment on YSK about 15 bean soup.

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.

They don’t just put it in there for fun, you can bet that milk powder affects the eating experience in a way most people enjoy. Snack companies invest a ton of money refining every nuance of their recipes.
Very nice supervisor though, the everyday compassion makes big impact.

Milk was the hardest to give up but also the cruelest of products because to get milk you have to starve baby calfs. But oat milk and soy milk seem great. Soy if you want big boobs. Costco has several brands of both.

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

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.

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

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 2 months 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.
robocall@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Wait until you hear about the most annoying animal of all, humans!! Nobody’s supposed to eat those!

Cook mushrooms in rice or beans. Add wallnuts. Supposedly walnut and no other but has shown to help lower blood pressure.
