I dont mean to be a bummer but I feel as tho becoming vegan is completely useless. You're not really reducing cruelty and it's not very healthy. Most vegans end up just eating nutter butters and oreos and chips and shit. Anyway if you're trying to feel better about yourself just buy locally and don't eat palm oil factory farm stuff.

if you're trying to lose weight by going vegan, DON'T
if you suffer binge eating disorder or have a food addiction, address your mental issues that drive you to eat like a fucking pig

if you're going vegan to save teh aminals
DON'T. animals are dumb fucks that deserve to die.

OP all these diets and shit are stupid, whether its veganism or carnivore or keto or whatever. Unless you're allergic, just eat balanced portions of what you want and exercise. You'll feel great and be in shape.

Unless you're doing it for moral reasons, then go for it just don't become one of those preachy vegans.

honest to god, ease into it with vegetarianism and try cuisines that are compatible, like indian food. look up vegan recipes from time to time as well or see if something you can't have anymore is replicable with substitutes. also don't be ashamed if your meals are 70% pasta and bread for the first couple months.

I've been trying to eat more vegetable based meals too. I don't think I want to go vegan, because I love pizza and cheese and icecream and shit, but I'm alright with eating less meat. Good luck, OP.

I suggest going vegetarian instead (eggs and cheese are the best also yogurt) and getting a pdf of The Complete Vegetarian Cookbook by Karen Brooks, used to be called The Forget-About-Meat Cookbook. It's kinda old but therre is a great section about whole protein and the recipes are really good.

i've been mostly vegan for about 10 years although i'll occasionally eat dairy and fish if it's in the house already

the secret is learning how to cook and substituting things. eating a good vegan dish is all substituion, and researching native cuisines of countries and finding incidentally vegan dishes

i most often eat japanese food. for example i'll make vegetable tempura, and a miso ramen with kombu dash i stock, fried tofu, sesame oil for heartiness, beansprouts, corn, laver

also find the right meat substitutes. i'll make beyond meat burgers with daiya cheddar slices, tomato onion lettuce ketchup salt pepper and pickles

the only things you just can't really replicate are chicken wings and steak and shit like that, although in some brooklyn pizza place i did have a disturbingly realistic chicken drumstick with a fake bone and all, it was definitely some chinese factory shit but was amazing in terms of taste and texture

also as an aside OP, don't think about it like you're 'becoming' vegan. just decide what you're not going to eat anymore and do that. when you make it this big thing like you're converting religions, it makes it feel a lot more forced and temporary and uncomfortable

just eat as you please. and don't listen to these faggot pseudo-intellectual anti-vegan neckbeards, not only is vegan the future but it's progressive and realistic. it's the natural course that human beings should take as empathetic and intelligent animals

there's no reason to eat meat. it's not about eating a BaLaNced diet, that doesn't fucking matter. you're not healthier because you picked lean organic free range chicken or because of MUH HUNTING

you can be perfectly content and nourished on a vegan diet it just takes more care and time than to be a mcdonald's eating fucking loser

it's not healthIER, but it's smarter and reduces cruelty and CAN be healthier

Plenty and Plenty More by Yottam Ottolenghi. Since he himself is actually NOT a vegan or vegetarian, and thus knows how to cook, his recipes are a lot better than when you get recipes from an actual vegan, who hasn't had proper food in some time.

Same goes for Kenji, so a lot of the vegan recipes on Serious Eats are pretty decent.

Generally focus more on dishes/cuisines that are incidentally already vegan, instead of "veganifying" meat dishes. Ratatouille and Dal Bhat are among my favourite foods, even though they are vegan.

I get where you're coming from, but if you do more unbiased research into our recent climate crisis it more has to do with industrialization than with animal consumption. I would say that mining actually is probably whats causing global warming, since the these oils that formed from years of the accumulation of dead animals, their feces, and plants over millions of years did change our atmosphere over time. I mean, for a long time in Earths early life, the air was toxic.
Not to mention the mining for these materials causes massive sinkholes and destruction to eco systems (this includes animal suffering, like oil spills killing massive amounts of sea life, and certain underwater mining techniques causing animals to become confused and sometimes end up killing themselves in the process)

ALL industrial ag is problematic for animal welfare and the environment. I would say rather than turning to veganisim as a solution you should look into self sufficiency. If you have land you should utilize it. A front lawn or backyard can grow a good number of crops and you can keep a couple chickens to eat weeds, garden pests, and kitchen scraps. If you have more space you can keep larger animals.

[Anonymous No.14498477]

going vegan is a retarded idea, the fact that you stop eating meat would not affect on anything the industry. Having fast food places like macdonalds on every corner feeding the horde of apes and retarded mongrel american fatties is probably makes way more problems than a single individual consumption. You can stop eating meat every day if that is what are you doing , and just do it on the weekends.

>the future is vegan

Maybe in cities where human livestock to the mega rich have no access to land and produce 0% of their own food/raw material

But everywhere else in the world is going to use whatever natural resources they can to survive.
I do like to hope that in the future factory "farming" will become a thing of the past, but as long as there are consumer urban faggots there will always be a demand for commodification of living beings.

It's a shame too. A well raised animal is so dramatically different in not only satiety but in taste it's ridiculous. I had to slaughter a severely genetically deformed duck the other day, and even though he was maybe 1/4 the size of your typical broiler hen and severely fucked up, he has lasted me 2 days of eating him and literally no other meat (and keep in mind I have also shared him with others as well). And I am someone who can eat an entire rotisserie chicken and still be hungry.

Just giving him access to pasture, sunlight, and forage, allowing him to roam (when he still could walk) and supplement his fermented organic feed with bugs and grasses as well as excess from my garden made him dramatically different from a CAFO chicken who only lives to get as big as possible as quickly as possible.

Keep in mind this duck was basically euthanized as he was in so much pain and his life was so awful it would have been cruel to keep him alive any longer. The other ducks are in wonderful health and about 2 times larger than he was, he was just handed a bad genetic card. This even happens to humans.

I prioritize having as much control over what I put in my body as humanly possible. I couldn't do that on a vegan diet. Having plants, fungi, soil, and animals that are raised by my personal code of ethics and the blood involved in stewardship on my hands is much more rewarding and meaningful than buying something shrink wrapped in mystery from a supermarket.
