Albeit I don’t eat a ton of meat, I’m not a vegan or even vegetarian.
That being said, in the last few years I’ve found myself eating more and more veg options, because it’s honestly just very tasty. I feel like veg products and cooking have made leaps and bounds in the last handful of years, or at the very least accessibility in the US has risen. I’m totally here for it.
Anyone else share this sentiment?
My tummy motility has always preferred veg-heavy meals, rather than meat. So for me, I’m very much enjoying the shift toward more veg/vegan options that aren’t just salad (salad isn’t a valid “vegan friendly” meal option at restaurants, imho. It may be vegan, but it’s hardly food.) or black bean burgers.
I tend to get the vegan or veg option when I go out to eat, if there is one. And oh man I miss the little cafe that used to be around here that had nothing but vegan food. Oh! And even better sometimes when I have to go near Rockford, il, I’ll stop at pig minds which is a brewery with entirely vegan fare that’s so good most people who go there don’t know it’s vegan at all!
As for buying stuff for myself from the grocery, well I can’t remember the last time I actually bought raw meat… probably a year ago? That’s not to say I haven’t bought like lunch meat or hot dogs (on sale very cheap, went into the freezer for emergency meals), and a lot of the pre-made stuff I get does contain meat, but overall it’s just not in my shopping list anymore.
When my quail need to be culled I’ll be eating them, though. That’s half the reason I started raising them.
I wish restaurants made proper salads tbh. When I made salads at home, they are proper meals with lots of ingredients. In restaurants they are usually 200 calories at best, 150 of wich are fats and oils.
jfc, name checks out.
Yep, didn’t realize I was replying to the vegan sub. Guess I forgot to block it on this account. My mistake.
