I was a vegan in the US and now I’m a vegetarian in Japan. Trust me, I know lol.
Comment on YSK about 15 bean soup.
altphoto@lemmy.today 15 hours agoThe 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.

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.

Butter or cream cheese

Oh, yeah, that does make sense. I’m not sure why my brain went up the garden path on that one.

Even when I’m not a practicing vegan, I dislike cream cheese and sour cream. I cant order many things just because if you ask them to leave it off, you might not only get a look for it, but they may just put it on there anyway.
I threw a crunch wrap out the window about ten years ago. Not my finest moment, but fuck sour cream, I was starving and it just ruined everything. Aye.

LOL, practicing. My boss calls me vegan flex because I’ll eat stuff without looking at the contents.
But you know, veganism is just a self control thing. Like capital punishment. We don’t allow it but every now and then someone in Texas just has to go do their thing on the electric seating arrangement. There’s little we can do sometimes. Veganism is a self control decision not to eat products or allow the torture and murdering of animals. So I can stop tomorrow if I decided to do that. It’s not a better than thou thing. Its not a religion or a club. We don’t high five each other. Its just an understanding that if you eat that burger, a happy cow with life a dreams will be murdered to replace it…and the burger contains the dismembered parts of a cow after it was murdered and tortured. So its a decision.

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

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.

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 watched Earthlings while I was nursing my newborn. Thats all it took.
Regular milk was easy to give up, I like coconut milk better anyway, cheese was much harder to be honest. Still milk, but cheese was rough. Hummus was the only thing that could satiate the creving.
I’m pretty certain soy won’t give you “big boobs” unless you had a quantum fuckton of it, so much so, it’s impossible for a human to consume naturally.

Are you a plant?
altphoto@lemmy.today 2 hours ago
No, plants do not like to be irrigated with any kind of milk. Plus I wouldn’t suggest to eat plants if I was a plant… I know, its what a vegan plant would say if asked if it was a vegan plant…
