I was eating very little before being vegan (around 1.5k calories maybe) and it’s helped me eat more actually. Mix of whole foods and occasionally fake meats

I like how they taste the whole time, is something wrong with me?

any sources on eggs being unhealthy? I don’t eat them for ethical reasons but I thought they were full of good nutrients and minerals and such

Ye, that does sound fair. Honest question; do you bake? In what way are eggs necessary? I’ve only been vegan for about two months, and haven’t missed eggs in any way; tofu scramble takes like 5 minutes, I just mix it in a pan, it’s good. I’m on a fairly low/ average budget and I manage to hit my calorie goals, macros and even gained a bit of weight (have had struggles with that my whole life) Also where do you live? I’m lucky that milks are only slightly more expensive. I haven’t had any alternative meat, my proteins come from mostly legumes. And raw fruits and veggies are considered vegan food? I thought everyone was having those. Also why care about “vegan purity checks”, you’re doing better than like 90% of people, the most important thing is to be happy with yourself.

legumes and plant stuff is generally cheaper than animal stuff, so it’s a good way to save too potentially

Depends on the situation, if you’re a hunter gatherer and it’s your only source of sustinance sure, if you can get whatever you want from the supermarket choosing to still eat animals that’s needlessly cruel

nooo you can’t be plainly stating facts!!! I wanted to circlejerk about muh moral relativism!!

Brave soldier taking the downvotes. honestly lemmy has been disappointing and not much of an improvement on Reddit in mindset

A lot of vegans see animals as deserving of the same dignity as pets or humans. With this mindset the “thrown away” meat is about as much of a waste as burying your grandma instead of eating her.

how does it make money tho?

they will somehow shift the cost on the consumer and continue on

(I was making a commentary about veganism)

for example, consuming their corpses and raping them and stealing their baby food

I’m not a child, gamer nor grandma but last time i tried mint a few years ago i literally cried, so it might be something for me

how bad/ apparent is it? I don’t use it but still frequently see that ppl do quite often have it

I really fucking hate that a normal ass female name became a synonym for “entitled person”

because moderate politics have been going so well lately …
