#(and quitting veganism )

[maybeamiles]

Suddenly thinking about how the first thing the dungeon meshi crew ate was a mushroom dish and the cycle of life and death and eater eating the eater-

#dungeon meshi #existential food shit #nothing makes me quite existential like the question of “how do we decide what's okay to eat” #hence why I am not vegan

Glazed Vegan Apple Cake

#food #recipe #dessert #cake #apple #raisins #cinnamon #lemon #vegetarian #vegan #dairy free #baking #I've never had a cake quite like this before #it reminds me of a pie

[cypheragent]

the number of people on this site who don't give a shit about or even celebrate animal cruelty to Own The Vegans is honestly fucking weird

#also veganism is admirable #I am not vegan but I absolutely think it's the most ethical choice if doable #tbh you can just tell a lot of people on here are actually quite insecure about their intake of animal products #otherwise they wouldn't be so pressed about it

[echoesofadream]

i dont trust any big scale production of animal products but i think free range organic eggs is the best i can do cause i dont know anyone with hens that can sell me eggs on a regular basis. That would be good though if i could get in contact with a small hen farm. Also are eggs bad for you im only doing this if its good for my body nothing else

#some ppl are like eggs r so bad cholestrol etc others r like nothing is more nutrient packed and the cholestrol thing is a myth idk #I feel quite guilty about this idk if ill be able to do it #Im going to eat mussels too…feel scared to do that #I dont think im changing anything else though #Cause ive decided no dairy products and no fish and definitely no other animals #Oyesters lmao but im scared and they r alive when u eat them yuck #Also whats it called the like eggs in shrimp and fish etc #Theres a great vegan alternative but probably doesnt have the same nutrients #Its called like roe in english? #Hm i should eat more nuts and seeds also #Maybe more greens #I wonder what else #i rlly should eat fish and meat…if i reallt wanna do this.. #Like i just know thats the best thing for my body #Oh yeah yeah heart diseases whatever yeah probably #But like. Some. I dont mean a lot i just mean enough to get some good iron and stuff #I feel like my hair needs red meat. Lmao #But im not going there #… #i cant.. #I dont want animals to die but then im like. Its natural. Its the way of life you die so i can live #Im only considering hunting like animals from hunting now #No way im eating industrial beef

beyond delighted about the fact that just now, after spending 5 hours at work poring over radical leaflets from the 1810s (most of them self-published, home-printed, hand-distributed, satirical, and intent on abolishing private property), i left my office to get lunch & was immediately handed a self-published, home-printed, satirical anti-christmas-goose pamphlet by an elderly man wearing a newsie cap. truly humanity is always the same everywhere

#im soooo obsessed with this leaflet it's like a narrative story about the rearing of geese but it's ALSO a climate protest and ALSO a satire #it's quite interestingly written too? like in the register of a 1950s gentleman with a monocle #i want to give this man a hug. does he know the great and honourable tradition he's a part of. thomas spence would be so proud #especially bc so many pamphlets u get handed these days are by like. anti vaxers etc. but he just wants you to go vegan this christmas #oh humanity

I can't explain the joy and pride you feel as the parent of a neurodivergent child when they try a new food and like it 🥹💖

#when we first started weaning him he ate everything we put in front of him #then slowly but surely #he cut out quite literally everything except spaghetti hoops #and he's been slowly reintroducing things over the past 2 or 3 years #on top of simple things like peanut butter on toast #and cereal #and jacket potatoes #he'll now eat a rotation of 4 different evening meals! #pasta and lentils in tomato sauce #lentil dahl #vegetable pasty with brocolli #and as of tonight he'll eat a vegan chilli too! #i want to cry #I'm so proud 🥹💖

fascination and revulsion are flip sides of the same razor and I am dragging myself across the sharp edge of it

oh no. i feel like if i do not consume an entire load of bread in the very near future i will simply cease to exist.

#very uh. very worried about my finances right now #like. i'm fine. i have some savings. but i also just got to put something into my savings for the first time in a VERY long time and now #now i immediately have to take it out #and i'm getting stressed out about buying groceries #because if i dip into my savings here what about there? where is the line? #and i owe so much to taxes but i can't exactly afford getting less of my pay...... #my last paycheck was $0.66 more than my rent #my insurance is refusing to reimburse the last of my electrolysis visits from last year and like #i'm SO over the fight but that's $120. that i really actually kinda need? #and i'm starting to get that funny in the head feeling about wondering how i'm going to feed myself #i still feel so much shame about that funeral i went to years ago and my only thought during the reception after was about #how there was just so much food and i could actually eat my fill #i have leftovers for dinner tonight and it's fine but.... making a lovely vegan dish wasn't the best choice tbh #i feel like if i don't have a large helping of bread and meat i'm going to go insane #and it really REALLY doesn't help that i've apparently lost the ability to eat in the mornings #so i'm at quite a significant fuel deficit and it's stacking #but no matter how hungry i am in the morning the concept of processing solid food is just repulsive and daunting #eating a clif bar at 9am would take literally all of my spoons for the day #i was looking at protein shakes since i can handles *drinking* breakfast #but the cheapest one that meets my dietary requirements is $35 for a 12pack #and i'm uh. i'm worrying over spending $10 on produce this week #personal #and nevermind that i don't have the spoons to even GO shopping (: #(on an aside i switched back to my regular melatonin gummies last night and i Actually Slept. so hopefully that will continue and help some) #i just want to curl up in a ball on the floor and have someone gently place a roll of bread and hunk of cheese next to me in my enclosure #also it's photophobia season and i still feel like i haven't recovered from saturday #got too much sunlight and was nauseaus for half the day #my body feels so bad

[theliteralmoon]

Gonna go ahead and complain here I am once again in over my head and so exhausted

#I realized yesterday I quite frequently work 12 hour days with my barista job and the studio #I got commissioned a vegan cake that I’ll make tonight for tomorrow #and Saturday I have a market and a class ugh #currently at the eye doctors and might stop by the studio for a hot sec because I’m overwhelmed

[virtualmosshroom]

spent $45 on medication today

and maybe a little bit on silly unnecessary stuff

#silly unnecessary being #cool rainbow spoons #colour changing light #cat toys for worm #and matcha and some snacks like vegan jerky and biscuits #and the $45 of medication was actually for quite a bit of stuff #antidepressants reflux meds iron supplements and #two steroid based inhalers and two regular ventolin puffers #had to use rent but #sooo i’m thankful i have them now

that post abt eating vegetarian/vegan food in addition to normal food made me think about when Theo and I decided to start eating more vegetarian meals/less meat. and I was telling my dad about it (he is v Meat And Potatoes), and he was. sort of baffled and horrified. and I was reassuring him, you know, we still eat lots of the same things, we haven't stopped eating meat or anything, when we all get together for dinner it will be just as it was, we aren't vegan or anything, and so on.

"wait - what does vegan mean?"

"oh! you know, like, vegetarians don't eat meat, but vegans don't eat anything that came from an animal"

(perplexed silence)

"wow....I mean can they eat eggs??"

"....well, no, not really, you know, chickens and all..."

"wow..............."

#i adore my dad he is the nicest. i have introduced him to many concepts #like transgender identity and veganism #he takes a while to catch on but he's usually quite good natured about it

re: my last reblog, blabbering off here because i dont wanna bother op with tags (i recommend reading the whole article and not just the part op posted), but overall a good article I think, the downsides of wool are not talked about nearly enough. that said I didnt like thry brought up Tencel (a fiber made out of foob pulp) because well. wood pulp isnt really the most sustainable material either. and that Noize brand they brought up is expensive as hell. and also plant based leather alternatives are hard to come by and also to my knowledge often coated with plastic to make them more durable, so not really a good or easy option for most consumers. that's one thing I'd like to know more about: are wool clothes and synthetic clothes (of similar price range and construction) as durable? because synthetics have a lower carbon footprint, but in my anecdotal experience they last for a shorter period/less wears, so does wool "pay itself back" better by being able to be worn longer? but on the other hand, pure fool garments are often also not that durable (depending on the type of garment and how much wear and tear it encounters ofc), which is why wool gets mixed with other more durable fibers so often. but on the other hand wool can be easier to mend. idk lots to think about and I'm no expert I just love. fibers

#i have always felt uneasy with people making fun of some vegans for not using wool even though the wool industry is ofc tied to the meat one #and just because shearing sheep isnt inherently bad for the sheep (quite the opposite) that doesnt mean the industry cant still be cruel #both to the animals and the workers #btw i am a wool lover and not vegan nor even really a vegetarian. i just think it's important for me to know what goes into all that

Feeling nostalgic because I'm cooking my great-grandma's caramel roll recipe and might have figured out a better way to make it gluten free. This dough can actually be rolled out! And it's not pizza dough this time!

#this is THE traditional dessert in my family #making it gluten free and also vegan has been a bit of a challenge #but it's been done. and this might be an even better way to do it #if it works #I'm not sure if we've done it vegan before actually? cant remember #the original recipe uses bread dough so this still isn't quite right. this is a boxed cinnamon roll mix that we've modified. #I've done it with bread dough before but I've never seen gluten free bread dough that can be rolled out #so we just kinda. layered spoonfuls of dough and filling. #which working surprisingly well honestly #but rolling it out is more fun #and the pizza dough was significantly more chewy than would be ideal #adventures in allergy-friendly baking #hylian rambles #food tw

ai! what’s your favorite food/recipe? I realized I haven’t added you to the cookbook (my mutuals list) and everyone gets a designated recipe :)

sorin hiiii!!! your cookbook sounds so fun omg i would love to be part of it ^-^ choosing a favorite food is always sooo difficult for me :/ i just love so many stuff it’s hard to pick but i’m crazy for carbs especially rice and pasta!! i can eat my weight in those two t-t ALSO can we please count wine as food just for this once? can we do that bc i’m a huge wine connoisseur :< but if we can’t then i’ll have to go with my all time fave (and also my comfort food) that is “sarma”. it’s basically grape leaves stuffed with rice but you can also add minced meat and other ingredients if you feel like playing around with flavors but since i’m a pescetarian i have the vegetarian version always :3 IT’S SO GOOD !!!!

#[ ai—mail ] #ᓚᘏᗢ — meowtuals #i've never liked the taste of meat ever since i was little so i always avoided eating it #then i officially went vegetarian like 10ish yrs ago and at some point i was vegan which did not quite work for my body #or i was simply not doing it right skjdjfsk so i swapped back to vegetarian BUT then i started craving fish 3 years ago during my summer #vacation and like now i can't imagine not eating fish or seafood I ADORE SUSHI SO MUCH I COULD DIE FOR SUSHI #so yep i am pescetarian now and my body feels best this way so !! we're sticking with it !! #thank you so much for including me in your cookbook i feel rly RLY honored t-t <333333 #SORRY I RAMBLED SOB

it's kind of funny to me, albeit very interesting, that I'm a very picky eater and yet have also become a locavore and something of a 'foodie' per se, I really enjoy food (and cooking!), and going to unique and sometimes upscale restaurants serving ~local ingredients~ and I really value a quality dining experience and learning the character of new places through their food. yet I got a 29 on that picky eater test lol

#is this a contradiction? like im just wondering if there's other picky eaters out there who also are really into food #picky eaters get stereotyped into 'so you only eat chicken nuggets and french fries' #but I almost never go out to eat unless i'm traveling #I cook all my meals and I love discovering new combinations of foods and flavors I like and I eat quite healthy #(I don't really like fried foods or fast food so like. what foods one is picky about varies way more than is commonly realized) #like an average dinner for me is wild-caught salmon with garlic-sauteed swiss chard and wild rice #but the number of foods i do not like is. through the roof according to mainstream society or smth. #and it's true i dislike a Lot of vegetables and fruits. but the things i do like I try to eat a lot of #there's a pretty small sliver of flavors and ingredients i enjoy from the total global pool of foods. but within it i try to be creative #and i love food and cooking more than anything #food is one of the greatest joys of life for me #idk. i just have not heard about others having this sort of dichotomy and i'd like to know if this is a thing #maybe bc i'm an ecologist? like all my coworkers are either vegans or hunters or locavores #i'll eat p much any game or fish #my desire to eat local is an ideological one as much as a flavor and nutritional one #and because of my ulcerative colitis i have additional restrictions (not enforced. but Recommended) on my diet #such as reducing processed sugar for unrefined sugars and using gluten alternatives when i bake etc #it's just an interesting mix of things imo and it seems inexplicable to people i try to explain it to irl
