Going for Thanksgiving dinner tonight. The host said they're going to make sure that all the vegetables are left vegan and one of the guests is making me a vegan pumpkin pie. I just had to promise to share some of my weird fake turkey. Works for me. This should be nice!

what?

This weekend is Thanksgiving in Canada. I'm going to a Thanksgiving dinner that's being held tonight. Most people do it on a Sunday or Monday but this one will be Saturday.

It is impossible for someone not to have consumed an animal product for a week. Every human on the planet consumes their own saliva all the time. Saliva is an animal product.

Saliva would at best be an animal by-product, but I'm afraid it fails there. The blood that went down my throat in a nosebleed would come closer to qualifying.

It's about not consuming another animal's flesh, the things their bodies produce, or parts of another animal in any products. So far done that just fine.

That would be unfortunate but it would get spit out regardless of whether or not I ate meat

What if I yawn and someone throws a chicken tendies in my mouth

What if someone secretly puts animal products in things that I eat

What if we're a simulation and it doesn't matter

This stuff is great (in the vegan junk way)



Even if you're just lactose intolerant

You might also like the film Dread then, as a person with an aversion to eating meat is one of the major characters (iirc, the love interest).

It turns out Canadian Netflix doesn't have Raw on it.

I highly doubt that's actually vegan. Unless they own a separate factory I suppose.

Certified vegan. All vegan ingredients.

It says frozen dessert right on it and not ice cream.

Flavor and texture wise it's ice cream. Delicious ice cream.

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.

I also avoid factory feed meat whenever possible. I have no problem eating grass fed beef though :D

Yes but it isn't vegan if processed in the same facility.

A vegan product processed in the same facility as non vegan products can easily be cross contaminated. Why do you think so many warning labels say "product may contain nuts"

Big difference between a nut allergy and being a vegan. A vegan doesn't die if they accidentally eat meat. They put that warning label on there because even tiny particles of nuts in the air can cause a reaction to some people.

I doubt there are many if any vegans that are concerned about tiny meat particles getting in their food because what person could be so anal about things. Most of them are perfectly fine ordering vegan menu items from restaurants that also prepare and serve meat and those are absolutely still vegan.

You've chosen a really weird hill to die on here pal

Is analingus considered vegan? Asking for a friend.

Ill hang up and listen to your answer.

I guess it depends on what the recipient has been eating.

Seriously if you're a vegan and that worried about cross contamination to that degree you need to be eating whole foods plant based and not being a trash panda of a vegan like me eating Ben and Jerry's. And if you're really really bothered you're not eating this junk! I'm glad they're certified vegan and don't contain carrageenan. Still waiting for them to get the vegan chunky monkey up here.

As more demand for vegan junk grows you might see more facilities that only produce vegan food. But that's going to take a while.

The most you can hope for in most cases is finding something that's accidentally vegan.

He did. You can still have products certified vegan in facilities that handle non vegan items. B&J stuff they use the same equipment but thoroughly clean and sanitize between all batches. I have no problem with this. I used to have this stuff with my lactose intolerance anyway and it was good enough to prevent the bad symptoms dairy gives me.

It's worth being concerned if you have a live threatening allergy. Otherwise? Meh. These are vegan and Kosher certified.

This concern trolling is getting a little stale



Sub that with billions of gallons of dairy used in the US each year and one part of one drop may have touched a giant vat of non dairy product

That is not trolling. Also PETA is a bad example. They don't "euthanize". They slaughter.

Tofu was on sale and I got some of the soft tofu desserts as a treat. They're lovely and go great with fresh fruit. Mango tofu with fresh sliced strawberry and pineapple heck yeah

That's 3 dishes I had today with tofu in it. Good thing I love the stuff

If you can find a vegan version of mapo tofu, I recommend trying it. Its so good.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've seen vegetarian mapo tofu and looking at this recipe

http://www.chinasichuanfood.com/mapo-tofu-recipe/

It would be pretty easy to just remove or replace the minced meat.

lots of different Asian cuisine is well adapted to being vegan if the recipes are not vegan already

Vegan french food though lol

In Dr. Pittmans lab, researchers induce depression in a fish by keeping it drunk on ethanol for two weeks, then cutting off the supply, forcing it into withdrawal.

Science!
