what's a good non dairy milk that is rich in protein and taste good in tea/coffee? I did not like the taste of soy milk (even though it is rich in protein). Suggestions please!

I just got a robocall that sounded genuine that said that, according to "their" records, I show up as having bought Impossible Chicken Nuggets from ... (stores including the small one I do buy them from). It noted that it may contain small bits of wood that could represent a choking hazard and that I should return them to the store for a refund.

So, just to be sure, I then googled this and shockingly came up entirely empty. There's nothing on reddit about it (unless my searching sucked) or on their site or, frankly, that searching Google for "Impossible Chicken Nuggets Recall" could find.

Is this some sort of nefarious scam from a competitor or is this a real thing? I do have several packages of these. I had hoped they'd have listed some SKU number ranges as I've already eaten some without incident and suspect it's HIGHLY unlikely I have bad ones.

If I cook their meat am I not vegan; just plant based? I was wondering as I shop and cook for them, but do not get a choice of meals, although I do make them vegan meals two nights a week, and a few lunches a week.
Am I not vegan if this is my job? Should I no longer say I’m vegan, and just say plant based living?

Hi, I hope this question meets the rules of this sub. Currently, I'm volunteering at an animal sanctuary, and of course, we're living vegan. However, I feel like my eating schedule is completely messed up and unhealthy.

I'm usually wake up a bit before 6 am. and leave the house for work, which means I am not very hungry, nor do I have lots of time for breakfast. I often leave without eating anything and have lunch at 1pm, which sometimes consists of warm, bigger meals, and sometimes it looks more like breakfast (e.g. porridge).

But in the evening, when I finish the day, I'm usually pretty hungry again, no matter what I ate for lunch. It kind of feels like binge eating because I eat a lot or a whole warm meal around 9:40pm.

I feel like that's pretty bad and unbalanced. Does anyone have an idea how to improve my eating habits and make sure I don't overeat in the evening?

I'm also very glad about recipes for that! Thanks in advance

Baby vegan here. I've tried to move to vegan several times now. The issue I keep running into is this: I do not like the texture of beans or lentils (I have some sensory processing issues).

So many recipes call for these things. Does anyone else out there struggle with this or have good advice on what to do for protien?

hello~

so i am interested in going vegan and wanted to hear the experiences from p.o.c. i feel like veganism is not well-received in some p.o.c. communities because it's viewed as a "white people" thing. my background is afro-carribbean (specifically indo-jamaican and belizean) so i am familiar with a lot of rastafaris (including in my own family) who are vegan. but outside of that, it does seem to be more of an American thing, maybe because the majority of vegan spokespeople i see are American. is veganism easy to adapt to as a p.o.c. in a predominantly white movement? or do you strictly view it as morals and not care about the community?

by the way, this will not influence whether i go vegan or not. i just wanted to learn more about it in general.

For those who don't know: Ahimsa milk is the ancient Indian method of dairy farming. In it cows are not trapped in a shed, they are not forcibly impregnated, no slaughter takes place, calves are not separated from their mothers and they are allowed to drink to their full extent before the cow is milked by hand.

It is in leu with Indian religions where eating meat and eggs is a huge sin because of their belief in ahimsa अहिंसा (non-violence), but eating animal products such as milk is alright and sometimes even part of religious rituals.

Anyway I wanted to know what do you guys think about ahimsa milk. Do you think it is the right alternate to modern day dairy farming? Do you think vegans should support it?

Hello everyone!

I am looking to go vegan by next month as my pantry and fridge purge nears completion. I wanted to gather some favorite vegan comfort food recipes to ensure success. I just want to kick the whole thing off with really good recipes that keep me happy and distracted from the really big change my diet is about to endure. While I do eat vegan occasionally, I am ready to make the plunge to full-time.

A few things:

Please, do not include recipes that require vegan cheese. I have tried and not liked them all, and I will happily look into vegan cheese down the road, but for now, I would rather just ween myself off of cheese altogether. Also, major bonus point if you include recipes that are just vegan already rather than altered to be. I think it's easy to forget what delicious things I already eat that are vegan when I am trying to be creative. I love tofu and tempeh, and I would love your recs on meat alts that are affordable. Finally, I am a full-time student, so I really only have time for recipes that don't take more than an hour, but 30min recipes are GREATLY appreciated. Recipes for any occasion (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks) are welcome!

Thank you all for your time; I really appreciate any support ya'll can provide me!

In regards to the 'where do I get vegan protein' from question I've often seen the argument made by vegans that people should cut out the animal 'middlemen' because all types of proteins are the same. One of my co-volunteers at an activism event even claimed that animals don't produce protein and we can get the protein straight from plants.

While I'd love to believe both those points, are they true?

I could find articles online claiming animals did in fact synthesize protein and my doctor has mentioned that animal proteins are more "complete". To add to my question above, is the best response to the "completeness" aspect to suggest that people should have a combination of plant proteins to get all amino acids?

Someone just told the truth about the Diablo IV beta being anti vegan, and those carnist demonic sheeps are all defending it. Disgusting.

Curious to others who have taken Synthroid prior to vegan lifestyle that made the change. Did you come off your medicine? If so, how fast? Were there any signs that you needed to lower dose or come off???

Long story short one of the department managers at my store told me in a threatening way that they were going to buy me a chicken sandwich and a burger because I was “so weak, lacking in muscle, and needed to eat meat” all because I asked him to help me push heavy heavy carts in from off a delivery truck. Normally I just ignore people’s remarks but I feel disgusted that they would threaten to do something so disgusting. It’s not even funny at that point. (This is coming from someone who talks about the “good ole days” when he used to be able to go to dog fighting rings and bet money. ) Everyone at my workplace knows I’m vegan and I don’t remark on their choice in eating flesh and harming innocent beings unless they are questioning or debating. I’m worried he may actually do it. What would you do, should I just ignore it?

Many organic products used in cannabis cultivation are derived from animals, such as fish protein hydrolysate, blood meal, bone meal, and excrement. The lack of information and unclear product labeling doesn't help consumers trying to be conscious of these things.

There was an article published this week about vegan weed...I hadn't given it much thought until I realized how many companies might be misleading their customers with vegan claims (mainly pertaining to edible ingredients, but not including what the plant was planted in/fed while growing).

Oysters don’t have a nervous system and arguably aren’t any more alive than a fungus or a plant.

That said they’re still classified as an animal and respond to stress.

At the end of the day it’s a personal choice. I was wondering what some of your opinions are.

I've been vegan for 7 years and will continue to be for the rest of my life. An animal protection cause from my country called me and asked for a donation of around what would be around 45 USD and I was thrilled because obviously I love supporting causes that protect animals.

They said a few things they do, which are really great, such as having shelters and taking sick wild animals to treatment. They also fight for animals right in my country.

However after researching, I found out they also label and certify ANIMAL PRODUCTS, such as meats, eggs, and milk as "animal friendly" and that's a huge chunk of their work.

I don't support that at all, as it's supporting the murder of those animals.

Should I Call in and try to get my donation back? It's probably not going to happen they give the money back, but I feel so bad and I could support actual vegan causes instead. However they also do do great work that actually serves and protect animals, so I'm not sure what to do (I will donate to a vegan charity anyway)

Obviously the leatherbound books aren't vegan, but even the none-leather books use non-vegan glue. Just thought I'd let any bibliophiles know.
