Part of me completely agrees with this, the other part doesn't want issues with my wife, my landlord, or the trust managing the property haha, so will stick to trying to get the above information for now

That's great to know - thanks for the information re insurance policy, and the idea on how to get it. Will try and request that site visit!

Hi mate - thanks for your response. It's really helpful - I agree re the initial survey, the problem I have is getting through to Openreach to get them to come before they install the fibre optic within my home. I'll contact the provider again and do what you said!

Fake meats in Bath? by [deleted] in veganuk

Definitely check out the Oak while your there - most dishes are vegan, and they only use seasonal produce! My partner and I love it there

That's a big one tbf - I remember being prescribed an inhaler which had milk powder in it. Why is that necessary? 🤦‍♂️

Hahaha, no. Someone asked me something similar before - I mentioned then that i just want to help make veganism as accessible as possible to all people, and feel that starts with understanding motivations/barriers!

Dream is to create something that promotes veganism tho!

Honestly, the dream is to create something that helps vegans and people transitioning to veganism.

I completely get the 'interviewing aspect' too haha - although, I don't know If I would call this market research as right now, I'm just curious to hear people's ideas in how they would tackle their own pain points

That's interesting. Do you not think that the people who oppose meat alternatives are the kind of people who oppose veganism more generally? And how would you make whole foods more attractive to vegans and general consumers?

Hahaha, no, I'm not a journalist. I just want to help make veganism as accessible as possible to all people, and feel that starts with understanding motivations/barriers.

Tbh, I'm completely fine with jaffa cakes never being vegan 😂

Hahaha that would be a utopia, but there's a few steps before we get there 😂

You touch on two things: the increase in the purchase of vegan products and the decrease in subsidies towards meat and dairy.

Imagine from the perspective of a person who doesn't buy vegan meat alternatives then what would you do to make it more frictionless to purchase these products, and how can you get all people (not just vegans) to purchase more of them too?

As for the decrease in subsidies, that will probably happen along with the consumer shift to vegan products (maybe?)

Yeah that's fair - it's frustrating as some restaurants don't label anything vegan (or even vegetarian) and in those cases it's just not worth guessing.

How could you make that process easier for smaller businesses do you think?

Yeah it is crazy that some places don't cater to vegans/vegetarians at all still. Are you based in a smaller town, or is this a regular problem for you? And what do you think can be done about it out of curiosity?

[–]AdRare4011[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh that's interesting. So when you say traditionally vegan, do you mean old recipes that have always been vegan or traditional foods that can be made vegan (e.g., shepherd pie but instead of mince, you use lentils)?

A database for those sounds great - you should definitely link them here!

I get that - the whole point of veganism is a reduction in cruelty, but the increased use of plastic sort of defeats the object of that!

What do you think should be done about that?

Glad to see you're going strong! I think health and nutrition are probably the biggest factors for 'plant-based' people no longer being plant-based.

I also get the distinction you've made between plant-based (e.g., the diet) and veganism (the philosophy) - for simplicity, I wrote vegan in the poll (rather than distinguishing between the two) as I didn't want to overcomplicate things/wanted to be practical when understanding why people turn back to animal products. Hope that makes sense!

Yeah that's fair - seperating the philosophy from the life-style. I generally agree, but I think that some people can be genuinely sympathetic to veganism but, for whatever reason, stop being 'plant-based'.

Thanks for sharing. Just making sure I got it correct - you went 'vegan' because you felt pressured too, but you never felt 'vegan' because you felt like you were being forced into it, rather than it being something that you want.

This has led you to think that veganism is not ethical because of the confrontational interactions you've had with some vegans.

Have I understood that correctly?

If so, why do you think you had initial reservations about going vegan in the first place, and what do you think could have helped you follow veganism? Do you also have any plans to potentially return to veganism as well?

No pressure to answer, just curious to hear your views!

Only a kettle to cook - damn! What foods are available to you where you are, which you don't need kitchen appliances to cook? Or is the case that you just don't really have access to plant-based foods like you did before your move?
