I've been vegan for 5 or 6 years now, taking sublingual b12 and eating a bunch of lentils and various greens as dietary staples seems to cover most of the nutritional requirements. I don't even really think about "being vegan" anymore unless I'm stuck at a family gathering with nothing to eat or I'm at work and coworkers all want to eat a bunch of meat. Which hasn't happened since February due to the pandemic!

actionjackson posted:I add the salt to my lentils that I do in the slow cooker I buy a bunch of red lentils (masoor dal) and "yellow lentils" (mung dal) from a local Indian grocery place and they own. One of my staples is cooking mung bean egg omelettes, which are surprisingly tasty: https://www.veganricha.com/vegan-omelet-with-mung-bean-egg/ There's also a ton of variety in dishes and recipes possible with the lentils, I've probably cooked 25 different recipes over the past half year in lock down. https://www.veganricha.com/25-easy-lentil-recipes/ my favorite recipe isn't in this list, which is her Bengali red lentil soup (Masoor seddho) recipe. I highly prefer them to the green lentils.

yup, you either supplement B12 or get it from animals you eat who are also being supplemented with B12. Our food chain supply is stupid and hosed

Do it ironically posted:you have to watch out for those evil vegans there’s literally tens of us I love to bring this up when people in-person set up a strawman vegan to attack. I’ve been vegan for a long time and I’ve met only one other vegan outside of meetups. Who are they talking about? How many vegans have they met, aside from myself? Did the vegan actually do and say those things, or is it some shared boogeyman inculcation that vegans are awful and insufferable and do and say these things? It’s pretty fun to watch their expression as you deprogram them and they acknowledge the bullshit they’ve built up over time through osmosis. If they double down, I ask them how they seem to meet so many vegans in the wild while I haven’t. biceps crimes has issued a correction as of 19:31 on Nov 13, 2020 |

everyone knows vegans are the biggest source of strife at your local protecting the environment job, where you advocate for insect killing, the most important issue. big vegan puts their thumb on the scales with their incomplete analysis and nazi ideology. mortality means harm reduction is ableist and problematic. if one follows veganism to its logical conclusion, it is a picture of a unsustainably plastic boot, stamping upon the ashes of the environmental movement forever

endlessmonotony posted:This is why leftist spaces are hostile to vegans. Because vegan arguments are a motte-and-bailey cover to ecofascism.  Most of the hostility in this thread (about two pages worth) are coming from one poster. also, as a person who is involved in local leftist orgs in a large city, I wouldn’t say there is any hostility at all! It’s primarily been curiosity and accommodation.

Crane Fist posted:steroids aren't vegan!!! im pretty sure anabolic steroids are synthesized from plants, furthermore once factory farming is abolished, we will need to repurpose all of the aas like trenbolone acetate that were developed purely for reducing birth to slaughter times down and improved feed efficiency in livestock. I think getting some geared up vegan muscle boys moving impressively heavy things would be a worthwhile repurposing, as very large and muscular bodies are something vegans and non-vegans alike can appreciate, though I may be doing an accidental fascism.
