The Veganism Thread

[Chris_]

On the topic of environmental atom bombs, how many of you are ready to give up coffee ?

 

Only Kopi Luwak

[Odinson]

Round and round we go...

 

Veganism, to me and most folks, is not about absolutism. For the third time: 

 

 

“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 humans, animals and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.”

 

No person in a modern society can live an impact free life. 

 

On the topic of "vegan food". It's like sex, if you're not enjoying it, you're not doing it right. 

 

Breakfast in Tel Aviv:

 

 

 

 

 

Soft-serve in Silver Lakes, CA

 

 

Burgers in NY

 

 

Home made veggie bake

 

 

Pizza in Santa Margherita Ligure

 

 

Granted, I eat whole food 95% of the time at home, so very little 'junk food'. However, when it's travelling time, it's I do my fair bit of sampling.

But where do you get your protein

Pfffff cows and elephants are Vegans and look how beefy they are!

[Odinson]

I tried tofu for the first time this week (made by a vegan that has it often) - will not be having it again, horrible stuff.

 

Tofu can be a hit and miss. No doubt about that. It's like most foods, it takes some practice to get it right, but once you do...

 

 

You should try tempeh. Also so good.

I'm already going to vegan hell. 

Lots of dairy (6L of milk + 3 kg of yogurt a week + cheese), meat twice a day, 2+ eggs/day, and plenty of avos and about 1 kg of almonds a month.

I don’t eat low fat anything. Double cream from Lancewood or Darling.

I love going to churches and yelling HAIL SATAN!

 

Going to feminism rallies and yelling "grab them by the kitten" is also a hoot!

En tog lyk jy nog steeds honger?

Yes sir. To what extreme does veganism end for you? Fossil fuels? Leather shoes? Leather car seats? I am certainly not advocating the seriousness of what you have mentioned. Only the fact of what each individual chooses to sit on what side of what fence. Catching an aeroplane could even upset the most rigorous of vegans?

I'm not a vegan, but a vegetarian.

 

I find veganism more difficult than I thought.

 

I'm sitting in NYC after taking a flight from LHR. Unfortunately in my tiny world employment takes precedence.

i am in a similar situation.

 

We vegan as much as possible but when travelling we make allowances for vegetarian.

 

It’s not a perfect system but it’s the best we can do.

 

And I think that’s important. Even though it’s not a perfect system I believe it’s significantly better than the alternative.
