Lentils, salad, rice, tofu, stir fry, a few Indian dishes (aloo gobi and chana masala), smoothies, fruit. Had a chick'n burger for lunch today too.

Was it good?

Don't get me wrong, meat is really tasty, I just feel more conflicted eating it than just foregoing it.
---

A friend of mine is vegetarian but will eat meat if it is ethically sourced. It seems like the best way to go, he has an app for fish but has to do research for everything else.
---

Don't worry Doctor Foxx, I'll make sure to eat a extra chicken or two this week to make up for you :)

Tonight I'm having mango chunks, aloo gobi and rice, curried vegetables, and some Oreos and coconut milk for dessert. Should be tasty.

I don't believe you. There are probably ingredients of animal origin in your other stuff like shampoo, dish washing soap, and stuff like that.

I had a pulled pork and cheese burrito. I'm not even sure the wrap was vegen.

Nope. I've sourced ethical cosmetics and cleaning products for many years and even make my own soap. No animal ingredients or testing for anything. And yeah it can be a pain to check labels for everything but it's habit.

I'm encountering more issues with hidden animal products in food. Weird stuff like shellac or whey or beeswax. So when in doubt whole produce is good.

The question is if you consider human animal products.

I mean, if I can ask it for consent I don't care so much. Though I have yet to consume any human products so far. :p

That would be a good way to do it. But locally there's not really many options. I don't want to eat red meat and there's no local fish or poultry. For health's sake I am abstaining.

I'll probably end up having to eat something when I visit family or just bring my own meat substitute/food. They do not understand or support plant based eating. So it goes.

I had chicken wings and pepperoni pizza for supper.

What about animal... 'bi' products? If you know what I mean? Wink wink nudge nudge.

Nada. Maybe later.

Hard to say. Lots of bread products with eggs, milk, or butter. In wraps maybe eggs but they might actually be vegan.

Keep up the good work, as much as I love animals I don't think I could ever give up animal products. I just accept the fact that I'm a filthy hypocrite on that subject.

Well now I'm curious. You actually encouraged me to check the label: no milk or eggs, and the shortening is vegetable based.

Yeah, that's one thing that is often vegan. I have seen other things in it on occasion.

That's something I have been doing a lot... reading all the labels on all the things

Kettle corn is a nice snack I can find that's vegan. Oreos are as well.

But mostly lots of delicious fruits. It's easier to not think about a label.

Thanks. I do love animals, and I do want to do what I can environmentally, cutting it out is big. I know this is not for everyone but I'm deciding to act on convictions and try for myself. So far I am pleasantly surprised at the tasty variety of food and low cost of ingredients. All that fiber is a nice bonus.

You should try a variety of beans. You'll need to keep your protein consumption up. I like black beans but they're all good.

I have been eating a lot of lentils which have as much protein as beans (or more). Whole grains have protein. Mushrooms, nuts, seeds... And I have some pea protein powder for smoothies. Easy to get 80g+ in a day with one of those which is much more than needed.

When I can find some tempeh I want to try cooking with it

i only asked because of how this was worded i think

No, eggs were brought up in the context of potentially making my wraps not vegen. But they didn't contain any.

oh. In wraps the non-vegan item may be eggs, but most don't have them. So it could be a vegan wrap. They usually are.

yeah that, you had said your wraps may not be vegan but they look like they are

oh okay gotcha

Don't forget quinoa. It's an awesome high protein grain that's very versatile. I like to throw in a few spices, some bell pepper and hot peppers, beans, corn and nuts/seeds. It's my goto veggie dish.

It's... ok. Whole wheat pasta has similar protein amounts.

I still have issues with quinoa after a norovirus bout when i ate quinoa. it's a particularly unpleasant food to vomit. :(

Gosh I wish I had more of those chick'n burgers. They were surprisingly tasty. great on a toasted kaiser roll with vegan mayo, barbecue sauce, onions, and lettuce. Mmmmm.

i do like me some kaiser rolls.

they're second only to onion buns

onion buns are also delicious. I'd have to see if any of the buns here are vegan--lots of onion buns have butter or cheeses. so far i have had good luck finding breads without eggs or butter.

I also like cheddar cheese buns but those are obviously out

Very nice \^.^/

Ohh I think this would be really tasty! Maybe tonight.
---

I decided this is going to be my meal tonight: https://yupitsvegan.com/peanut-pineapple-potato-curry/

will add tofu to it for extra protein

I'll try the cashew curry sometime, peanuts are a little more affordable. Looks like a good healthy recipe anyway!

idk, have you ever had a really good korma? those ground up cashews make it so good.

peanuts are still great.

You can't really taste the cashews in it.

yeah they more or less just thicken the gravy for the dish and add an extra richness to it. To keep it vegan I'd use coconut milk and omit yogurt. it goes well with the cashew.

I usually get a bunch of different dishes when I can. Chana masala, aloo gobi, korma, malai kofta (anoter good dish with cashews), biryani if I'm feeling fancy... vindaloo is OK too. Blanked on the fish dish that I like sometimes.

Indian food is easy to adapt to be vegetarian or vegan thankfully

I have pork chops in a crock pot rn
