How to be a vegetarian? (And also, why to be one?)
#76
RE: How to be a vegetarian? (And also, why to be one?)
That's great to hear you have tried being vegetarian Smile I've been vegan for a long time, and I just couldn't be anything else. My feelings are so strong that no amount of tastiness would tempt me for a second. When people say "but bacon is delicious" that sounds to me like "but slaves are so convenient". At least it's being honest, instead of making up rationalizations.

I hope it goes well! There are plenty of amazing recipes out there, although I'm rather useless in that department. I eat loads of "fake" meat, I'm not sure what they have in America but we have amazing companies like Vbites which do a substitute for just about anything, including cheese. I went to "veg fest" last year, a vegan festival, and fuck me there was a lot of amazing stuff there. The goods are all available, it's just a matter of finding them and finding the kinds you like. Of course not every substitute is going to be to everyone's taste.

I'm vegan for moral reasons, and for me it's so strong that I physically can't eat meat. My wife got us a fish substitute, and it was so convincing that it was virtually indistinguishable. This is fantastic, however I couldn't eat it! It actually freaked me out. But for anyone who misses meat, this kind of thing is perfect. There is also a whole new "fake meat" technology in the works which is going to synthesise the blood that gives meat its taste from plants, for the most realistic substitute yet.
Feel free to send me a private message.
