The VEGAN thread

[nwonder]

Any fellow vegan exhalers out there?

...Show yourselves.

 

Why did you go vegan and what vegan products do use abs what are your favourite meals? 
 

I’ve been vegan for 5 years and I love the this isn’t range.  My favourite meal to cook  is sweet potato pie, barbecue jackfruit and cauliflower wings.

Chickpeas and lentils are also a hit with me

Aww good on you for trying babe!

its definitely not for everyone and you gotta do what’s right for your body. I have many friends who have tried to go vegan but it just didn’t work for them

I'm not, like, officially vegan but I'm about half and half. When I'm out and about I'm vegetarian but at the grocery store and at home I'm vegan.

Spoiler

My favorite adult thespian is also vegan:

I'm beginning!  He gave me severe hepatitis, so I decided to start leaving meats, questions and dairy.  I've only been 2 months and I love it.  I recently tried a banana streak and it was amazing.  My favorite dish is legumes with lots of fried vegetables.

Hey, first ever post and it's gotta be in this thread, that's the reason I signed up really: I saw it in the main website 

I have been vegan for 3+ years now. Went vegan initially as a trial, to test myself and see how I reacted to only plants in my diet. Then I did some research, watched some documentaries, and made sense to stay vegan, for the environment, for the animals, and because I felt great. 

Favourite products? I try to eat as much whole foods as possible, but if I gotta pick a product, then I'd say anything from Deliciously Ella. She's massive here in the UK.

My favourite meals to cook (I'm obsessed with cooking vegan food) would be pesto pasta, moussaka and chickpea brownie. I've got recipes for all, actually I can eat chickpeas on anything. Hummus is my patronus

I like Bacon too much

I have been meat-less for 10 years, vegan for 3 but not too strict about it because I don't believe in going too extreme to just one side.

I love to cook, especially vegan shepherd's pie, various "veganized" Mediterranean dishes etc. 

Luckily, there is a lot more to choose from in the recent years and with a little bit of a research, vegan diet can be so flavorful and amazing!

I was never a fan of meat. Growing up on an island I loved fish and sea food but other meats were not a part of my diet since my body was sort of rejecting it. 

I thought to myself:

- if we can choose to kill and eat animals, they should be able to do the same...

- meat is bad for the environment and we should help this planet recover and be a better place to live in 

- meat is full of antibiotics and other poisons, poor animals are kept in the worst possible conditions, I can't put that into my body

 

A lot of people didn't understand my point of view or still don't, but that's ok. To each his own. I would just love for people to get a bit more informed and educated.

I wish I thought like this 10 years ago

Im into the theory that everythings got a proposal, there's are animals & plants that came to life to bring life to others,  i hope in the future balance diets between meats and plants , and cultivate more and reduce cost for many people to wanna be vegan and they can't for cost of many substitutes. 

Im in theory to have a mixed diet, eating plant substitutes bring you more healthy food, i would like in the future after this situation to eat more plants.

I was inspired to go vegan after hearing about the potential meat shortages/price increases due to the pandemic, and I've been able to stick to it for the last 4/5 months. The only thing I'm not super strict about is sugar and honey. KIND Bars are my fav treat, and they have small amounts of both. If anyone knows of a truly vegan alternative that's available in the States, lmk!

I'm not much of a cook, so my meals are kinda boring, haha. Breakfast is usually an apple or pear with nut butter, lunch is Banza pasta (made of chickpeas) with marinara and steamed veggies, and dinner is a burrito bowl with cauliflower rice, black beans, avocado, and salsa. After dinner, I'll usually have more fruit, like a mango or some pomegranate. Nothing too exciting, but super quick and easy!
