The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

  4. Sealioning will not be entertained.

  5. No promoting of plant based capitalism

Appreciate hearing your story! And best of luck with your freelance web dev.

Also you mention surviving on vegan junk food- have you ever tried cooking some recipes? It can take more time but cheaper and healthier. We usually make enough to have leftovers for a few days so then we can just reheat on day 2-3.

I do cook a lot actually, but I'm just hella depressy right now. I've been trying to focus on mock meat repalcements for traditional omni meals for the sake of my family. I'm the only vegan in a household of 4 and don't wanna push it on them. I'd rather they come over because they want to. But I will replace beef with tvp for spaghetti for example. What I'm wanting to do is eventually move over to WFPB and move away from junk and mock meat as much as possible and then treat those as a treat once in a while. I made the curry I posted on the Home Cook discord server and that's gonna be my lunch for the week. It's a step up from stuffing my face full of ramen.

I think I'm aiming for whole food at beginning of next year(resolution or whatever). With that said, I'm on the hunt for recipes so if you have anything you wanna toss my way, that would be amazing.
