I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

I used to joke about eating two animals for every one a vegetarian didn’t eat. I’ve been vegan for over a decade now, pulled a bit of an uno reverse in my early twenties.
Oh great. Now I gotta eat four animals. I’m never gonna finish lunch.
You can switch to crickets, I think that’s your best murder per Kg ratio.
I’m not eating the bugs.
Larvae or maggot-based dishes would be my go-to. Or maybe edible mite gulls, which IIRC is a thing. You go too small and at some point you end up with questions about if the critters are so simple they’re actually vegetarian, though.
Go to Wendy’s and get a 4 for $4 add bacon. bacon cheeseburger, nuggets and fries. That counds as three.
From what animal are fries made?
IIRC some restaurants were flavoring their oil with horse tallow.
That’s a fair point.
Yeah we all go through a stage where we haven’t mentally matured yet and have this tween-like rebellion reaction to any idea about changing for the better. Some grow out of it at a younger age, some at a normal age, and some not at all. I remember a bunch of examples I’ve seen happen through the decades;
“You say i shouldn’t eat meat, well i say nuh uh! Now I’m gonna eat twice as much!”
“You say i shouldn’t smoke cigarettes, well i say nuh uh! Now I’m gonna smoke cigars too!”
“You say i shouldn’t be racist, well i say nuh uh! Now I’m gonna be even more outrageously racist!”
It’s just a non-thinking reactionary response to the idea that you aren’t perfect.
I think it’s funny that there have been a bunch of stories about how genZ is smoking again because it’s some kind of nihilist counterculture and I’m just like… Yeah I didn’t quit smoking because the priest gave me a very stern lecture. I quit because I got tired of hacking up half a lung every morning.
I quit smoking because I actually want to live beyond 55 - I still remember my neighbour-woman smoking a ciggy, while standing outside with her chemo-drip… Absolutely haunting.
How do you get your protein? I’ve been doing the plants - and eating beans a lot - but this last week I ate some meatballs in my soups and boy - I really crave the meat.
edit - not sure why it quotes irrelevant text in these replies
I eat a lot of tofu, soy curls, and chickpeas,mostly. I haven’t had much issue.
Here’s sort of a strange question. Not too strange though ;-)
Let’s say you had a basic rice and beans meal - garlic … onions … root vegetables … blackbeans and redbeans … then kale roots and final kale leafs … salt pepper
What spices do you use? What are your favorites?
For that kind of a meal I usually season simply with salt and pepper, but then make up a dressing or sauce to go over it, something like a pesto or maybe a carrot ginger dressing.
Thanks. I’ll try that.
