I love coconut ice-cream, also the vegan ben and jerries are imho indistinguishable from their regular ice cream.
We are not dogmatic around here. 😊
I already posted here a while a go.
Not gonna lie, I still like the smell of bacon. Other meats cooking, not so much. I have to walk past a few pubs and burger places on my way to the bus stop after work, and the smell of burgers cooking turns my stomach.
I wish I had more variety where I am, I can only say ones I know are decent. None I can think of that are that awesome. I really like Miyoko's
I hear Violife is great but can't find it near me. Follow your heart slices are great. There shreds are mediocre.
Thanks! I'm jealous!thank you cheap(er) german grocery brand vegan ice creams
Fine by me, but I cannot see this doing our side any favor with the majority of people...
Another thing fell through because the housing company didn't give permission to use the space as a restaurant I was interested in. Not sure how these things work elsewhere in the world but it's quite a process here. First you need the acceptance of whoever owns the space, then the housing company board needs to give an official consent for it too (so basically everybody who owns an apartment in the building can have a say), then the fire deparment and building control also need to make sure that the space is allowed to be used in such a manner + other stuff like how many max customers there can be at any given time, and finally there's the health inspector who also needs to make sure that all the hygiene & other stuff is up to snuff. If any of those say no, then it's a no-deal.
Am on the waiting list at the library for his new book on this topic. Eating Animals is such a good book, so I hope this will match its predecessor's quality.
If there is one thing I wish would end, it is the anti-soy brigade. Especially considering how much food contains some traces of soy.
I challenge anyone to go up to Patrik Baboumian and tell him he has low levels of testosterone and that vegans cannot bulk up. 😬
Went to a screening of Game Changers yesterday.
Fantastic documentary, with many genuinely funny parts.
It will be on Netflix starting next wedensday and if I don't forget I'll create an OT for it then. 😊
The focus is clearly on vegan athletes and that fabled protein. But it does tie it all together with environmental concerns and animal welfare at the end too.
Debunks so many common misconceptions and shows how a plant based diet is a) the fuel we are evolved to run on and no matter what more healthy and beneficial.
Some interesting tid bits I thought were interesting and want to highlight
It's a great movie, I highly recommend it if you get the chance ahead of next week, elsewise check it out on Netflix.
- I had no idea animal feed is now fortified with B12, because animals no longer get the B12 producing bacteria from their environment anymore either.
- The worlds strongest man is a vegan
- A variety of world class athletes started to beat their own personal bests late in their career once they switched to a plant based diet.
- Animals are really just middle-men that take protein, amino acids, vitamins already present in plants; add nothing of value; but plenty things of detriment to the meat that is then consumed.
- Men's erections are harder and last longer on a plant based diet. (I kid you not, it's a pretty funny part of the program)
- Someone on a plant based diet that switches to white meat just once a week increases their cancer markers by a whopping 25%
- Things that society considers "manly" get lost so much quicker in life for carnivores compared to soyboy cuks /s.
- Speaking of soy; soy contains phytoestrogens, which actually prevents real oestrogen to take effect. There is no difference in testosterone levels between carnivores and people on a plant based diet.
- The CO2 footprint of the meat and dairy industry is as large as all forms of transport combined (planes, shipping, cars, trains, everything!)
- Firefighters who switched to a plant based diet for just a week saw their cholesterol level drop like a stone by over 100 points.
- The dead animal & dairy industry is following the tobacco industries playbook in obfuscating scientific evidence that only points in one direction.
My favorite quote from the movie
I'd be lying if I said I knew anything about the scene, in the documentary they just show him breaking a world record and having broken others in the past.
He's a great advocate and holds a lot of German records, but internationally he is not going to hold up to people like the "the mountain" lol. I wish plant based docs would stop calling him the world's strongest man. It's just going to get people called out for saying that.
I appreciate it, as I was going to use most of that for my OT next week and the last thing I want is for the thread to get derailed with the minutia of the strong man completion world... 😝
I second this question! I may get judgement for this, but have always been a don't waste what you have person so I still have my 10 year old leather boots(went vegan 3 years ago). I want to upgrade too when these give out, but everything I find is like 300+ dollars for vegan boots. I need rugged boots, like steel toe and water proof for my chorin.
Keeping stuff you already have sounds like the most sustainable thing you can do. You're good in my book!
ya know... things change quickly, I swear I googled and it was a pain to find anything under a few hundred dollars, but just a quick google and I found a ton I could work in. I am not sure if these would be over doing it for you? I assume you may just need more of every day wear?
