Personally , I'm vegan what about you?
"Excessive empathy"? The hell is that? I think it is just some thing they made up to push their ideology of brainless conformity by trying to sound sciencey, helpful, and neutral. That "abnormal" people are "inferior" (or as they put it, having something they think "excessive"). Not denying psychology here, but one must take it with a great caution. A lot of a therapist's ideology can creep in without a notice.excessive empathy (according to a couple therapists)

I can't believe that a meat burger costs like 1 while the vegan variant costs 3-5, i hope this will change soon. The living and perceiving consciousness behind humans doesn't differ much to animals in terms of perceiving pain and suffering i think
I find it interesting there are so many vegans here in relation to the general population. I'm vegan myself and don't really know of any vegans in real life. But that may just be because of where I live.
If anyone wants to learn more about reasons for veganism, this person is my recommended source: https://www.youtube.com/c/GaryLFrancioneVegan/videos
All the stuff from him I've seen I've liked. For a particular video, I watched this video a few months back. It's great. A little on the long side, but I do recommend watching if you have a chance:
I feel guilty about not advocating for veganism in person (or online, really). Does anyone else feel this way? For one, I'm worried about messing things up and setting a bad example. Also, my energy levels are finicky, among other things.
I wouldn't be surprised. On top of realisation of an absurdly large amount of human-inflicted suffering, many live or lived in abusive households where they were abused for wanting to become vegan, by parents, spouses, and so on. Or outside households. And so much vile shit toward vegans on the internet and IRL. But this forum seems relatively fine so far to me.2) have worse than average mental health.

Baby animals have and will always win me over! Even the so-called "uncharismatic" species like vultures, spiders, snakes, opossums, wasps, toads, earthworms, sharks, nudibranchs, and centipedes captivate me. Humans of all ages tend to range from bland to repulsive.But even as a kid, I always thought animal babies were so cute, I remember in second grade a teacher saying aren't bald eagle chicks ugly?! And I wanted to say defensively, but human babies are even uglier!! It would be many years before I understood that the overwhelming majority of people genuinely find human babies cute, I just didn't get the memo I guess!
You won't regret it!!!!I'm going to make those blondies
I've been vegan for over 12 years. Healthy vegan cooking is one of my major special interests. Oftentimes, I would be hyperfocused on recipes and culinary topics, writing new recipes, and improving them based on further research and testing them out.
No, I tried it for a couple of weeks, but I felt so weak and lightheaded I found myself fantasizing about cheeseburgers and chicken strips all the time. I like animals, but not enough to put up with that 24/7.
Still a vegetarian.
I love animals, therefor I wish I was. But I'm not. There is a saying that goes like this, if you go into a animal slaughter factory or farm, you will stop eating meat.
Thank you very much for your kind words!This is my dream, I so wish I could have healthy vegan cooking be my hobby!! I love Dr Greger, and I'd love to cook his recipes and the recipes from the WFPB Cooking Show every day. Though since Thanksgiving and Christmas, I've been making every week some of those naughty recipes (stuffing etc).
I'd love to get comfortable doing eg date paste substitutions for sugar, that sort of thing. There's a cafe my husband and I would visit that was "allergen free" (no: dairy, eggs, nuts, gluten, refined sugar). Cakes were so phenomenal and delicious!
But yeah, otherwise my rule is usually: cooking for self = omit oil / salt, obscene amount of veggies and lentils / beans etc added. Cooking for others = uhhh extra naughty :P
I can usually enjoy cooking when I get into it (listening to music / podcasts) but otherwise it's a bit of a chore for me, unfortunately. And how willing I am to do it depends on how much I have to work. I have always envied people so much whose hobby is cooking, who find it relaxing to come home and cook.
Good luck on your future experiments!! Texture is so important for substitutions, and you are clearly very creative in the kitchen!!
