I’ve done a little research and found that foods like chickpeas, tempeh, tofu, seitan, lentils can have similar or even more protein per 100 g than 2–3 eggs. Yet everywhere I look, fitness people eat eggs every day, as if no other food exists.

Plant proteins also come with much more variety, which means more flavours and different textures. On top of protein, they also provide fiber, healthy carbs, and usually very low saturated fat compared to eggs.

I wonder if those people even do a basic Google search? Plants are often richer in different nutrients and offer more variety than eggs or other animal-based proteins. Most of their diet are basically the same 2–3 foods every single day, and then they call plant based foods boring and limited.

Also, black salt can give a strong egg-like flavour and smell for anyone who craves it.

Hi good folks. I'm 18F. Throughout recent years I've made great progress on self development. I've left my religion, became politically left affiliated and gradually leaning towards veganism.

And I swear, it's hard. I come from a South Asian Muslim family. I was disgusted with meat since I was a child, witnessing our beloved cows getting slaughtered every year in eid. I was raised as a picky eater and my diet only consisted of chicken, scrambled egg, milk, selected few veggies, potato, carbs, and fruits sometimes. And recently I can only eat chicken when it doesn't look like it came from a real bird. e.g.- nuggets, chicken balls, patties etc. Well that's a good thing but the worst part is I still crave for them processed meat a lot. I promised myself I'll never stop by the take aways. I mass unfollowed mukbang and recipe channels I used to follow but yet somehow I find myself buying processed meat based food. Can anyone please suggest anything to get out of this?

I also have stopped buying makeup from the brands I used to like as they aren't vegan. Thank you for taking your time reading this.

But aren't all meat-dairy consumers animal abusers too?

New vegan here. I have recently been educating myself on just how horrible the meat/egg/dairy industry is, which among other things, has ultimately led to me becoming vegan.

However, my husband still eats animal products and has no intention of changing that. All of our health/cleanliness products are vegan, so it’s really just the food thing, but I’ve noticed it kind of bothers me. So all you vegans out there with partners who consume animal products, how do you cope with it?

Of course these sayings have been around along time but idk for the life of me why people insist on comparing sexual organs to dead animal body parts.

My ex would do this a lot even though I told her it was disgusting, unattractive, and uncomfortable (one reason she is my ex)

Like mofuckers out here acting like cucumbers 🥒 (preferably not chopped) , bananas 🍌 (preferably not peeled like this) , papayas (no emojis for this one) , squash (or this one, (oh my gourd) aren’t sexual.

I mean have you never seen a plum and it look like a tasty bum? Hell a peach 🍑 got them cheeks.

We all know the universal sign of eggplant. 🍆

I personally don’t care about talking about making a fruit bowl while getting intimate with my partner, it’s more attractive and spicy to just say the body parts.

But damn, I never got turned on by someone saying put your sausage in my roast beef. 🤢🤮

Also mods I don’t think this post breaks any rules but if it does I’ll make like a banana and split (just not peeled)

I hear so many opinions, both from vegans and non-vegans, expressing strong dislike or disgust for animals because of the things they do in nature, because of their instincts, for example killing and eating each other, abandoning their newborns, mating with their offspring once they are older, in certain cases engaging in non-consensual sexual activity with their female partners, and other actions that in the human world may look unethical and horrible. But if we compare it to how we humans treat each other or other animals, we realize we are no better, maybe even worse.

While animals are not even supposed to have a moral compass like humans claim to have, their actions are based on their nature, not out of greed, resentment, revenge, or envy in the way humans experience these emotions. Many people don’t feel sorry for wild animals getting hunted and killed because they see them as monsters, or in the case of herbivores, as potential prey for carnivorous animals. All of these thoughts are just ways to look away from our own actions and how we treat animals who have never intentionally harmed us in any way.

In fact, animals are usually kind to humans unless humans provoke them in some way. So I believe we should see all animals as equally innocent in relation to us. Whatever they do in nature, driven by instincts, isn’t our place to judge and shouldn’t change how we behave toward them. If someone doesn’t like animals, that’s fine, they are not obligated to interact with them, but in relation to humans, animals will always be more innocent and purer in their intentions.

All they want is to survive in a world that humans have made impossible to live in, for both human and non-human animals.

They had already passed a ban on using elephants.

Like the title suggests, I come from a very traditional black southern family.

The type of family where meat is involved in quite literally every dish. From the cabbage to the green beans. I can't think of anything on our Thanksgiving plates that didn't involve animal products. ATP I'm expecting it to be in the damn drinks.

I've recently went cold turkey vegan (which surprised me too) and when I told my family/friends they were pretty taken back and asked why. For me it's both an ethical and health thing as I find meat and dairy both make me bloated and gassy.

They started asking "well what can you eat" and "why" and when I told them they rolled their eyes and scoffed. I got the usual "I ain't eating no nut cheese" and "I don't want no greens without meat" right off the bat but I explained I can just eat before gatherings or make my own food.

I guess I'm just asking for advice on people who may have very anime product dense traditional foods and culture and how you navigate around the social aspect. I do have two friends who don't eat meat but everybody else pretty much can't even have vegetable soup without pork neckbones.

Thank you.

I’ve been win vegan women and men before I went vegan and always noticed they smelt better and tasted better down stairs. And now that I’m fully vegan I get told that people are used to men smelling and tasting weird or slightly unpleasant, and some people even ask me what I’m doing differently what I’m showering with or what I’m eating before and when I say I’m just vegan they either tell me I’m gatekeeping or don’t believe me

It’s annoying seeing subs like r/VeganChill and r/VeganSquad (subs that are supposed to be supportive spaces for vegans, people curious about veganism, or those transitioning toward a more plant-based lifestyle) constantly disrupted by trolls/repetitive bad-faith arguments. More than half the comments I see on there are negative.

There already IS a debate-focused vegan sub (r/DebateAVegan) for people who want to argue veganism. Funny how many of these negative people don’t actually go there… probably because they’re not interested in genuine discussion or learning anything. It seems more like they just want an easy target, reactions, or attention from people trying to enjoy a supportive community.

What’s especially ironic is how often vegans get labeled a “cuIt,” while the same users seem to follow vegan communities around just to provoke reactions or complain. A lot of us come to these spaces for support, community, recipes, motivation, or simply a break from how depressing and overwhelming the realities of animal agriculture already are.

Vegans should be able to exist in vegan spaces without constantly having to defend their values or deal with hostility ffs.

Because I am for sure! When I don't have time for breakfast or need to quickly grab something on my way somewhere or on a break. Where do I go? Żabka. And what the hell happened to my options exactly??

They used to have meatless hot dogs, but they're long gone. You got cheesedog or many meat options.

They used to have vegan burger, but they AGAIN got rid of it. Even my meat-eating groupmate preferred it over amalgamation of mystery meat.

Oh, you want a sandwich? 1 vegetarian🍳(not guaranteed to find), 0 vegan and a trillion of meat variations options available. WHAT'S THE POINT of having SO MANY meat option combos and nothing else. Oh, and also only meat and cheese panini, greaaaat 🫩

Not only because of eating animal products but the extensive animal testing done to create medicines to combat obesity related diseases and preventable diseases.

Do people even consider this?

Yes, I reluctantly accept that animal testing happens for non preventable diseases too but there is soo much going into lifestyle sicknesses and animals are suffering and dying en mass for these preventable diseases.

Just a rant. I'm tired of the abuse.
