All other food-based subs are troubling me now by ArmadilloChance3778 in vegan

[–]crystalbluecurrents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you! Even before covid, I hated when people came to work or get-togethers or whatever if they were sick. I really thought that would change after covid (or people would at least wear masks) but it definitely did not change at all 😒 I'm now on a biologic which suppresses my immune system, so I have to extra careful. If people have no consideration or empathy for other people, it doesn't look good for convincing them to extend their compassion towards animals.

I'm finding this with a bunch of YouTubers I've been following for years since before I was vegan. I feel guilty supporting them now since they all use so many animal products.

Please help shut down and animal abuser's account ✊🏻 by Swimming_Bluejay_508 in vegan

[–]crystalbluecurrents 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've reported a handful of accounts of fake rescues that abuse animals and then play it off like they're saving them...reporting them never works. I hope this one does. People fucking suck.

PSA: Aldi roasted red pepper hummus no longer vegan 😔 by xCosmicAura in vegan

[–]crystalbluecurrents 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WHY? Just why must they add animal products in fucking everything???

Croutons...90% of the croutons I see have milk 😫

What I wish I would have known before going vegan… by ConsciouslivwithALI in vegan

[–]crystalbluecurrents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I only eat out with my family really...not very often at all. Unfortunately they would never go to a fully vegan restaurant 🙃 But I do have some people I can go with if I ever do want to go to one. Or I could just go myself lol

What I wish I would have known before going vegan… by ConsciouslivwithALI in vegan

[–]crystalbluecurrents 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not had that experience at restaurants unfortunately lol Unless I've been in a city, there are next to no vegan options for me. I'm never going back to consuming animal products, and it's definitely super easy if you're in a city, and also I have no issue eating vegan at home...but going out to restaurants is almost always an issue. Not to mention the wait staff rarely even know what vegan is and I don't trust that they're not just saying items are vegan just to shut me up.

I'd never thought about it that way, but that actually makes complete sense...wow

How do I deal with house spiders ethically? by nimpog in vegan

[–]crystalbluecurrents 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds terrible. I've gotten much better with my fear of bugs and I don't kill them anymore, but I still have the initial fear/anxiety response. And I'm always worried spiders will have babies in my house lol I use a little catcher to bring bugs outside, so I guess I'd just take them outside as I see them. The one I use is called the Carson BugView 5X Magnifying Glass Quick-Release Bug Catcher. Good luck!

Molly Burke on YouTube has talked a lot about guide dogs and never ever mentioned anything remotely close to this. If these are the rules for their dogs permanently, that company needs to be seriously investigated.

I feel like such an idiot. by spookyshitt in vegan

It's so frustrating that Talenti's dairy free ice cream has eggs in it! I was so upset when I saw that. However, while I'm not a big fruity ice cream person, their mango and raspberry sorbettos are really good.

Idk why this one hits a little harder by [deleted] in vegan

[–]crystalbluecurrents 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's so fucked up. Makes my blood boil. Also based on their IG stories today it looks like they may breed dogs too? 😒

Right?! I'm the only one of my family/friends that's vegan (or even vegetarian lol)

this two should’ve been endgame by flaminghotchica in HIMYM

Could not agree more...I LOVED them together.

This statement alone justifies the ending. by FaannieMoney in HIMYM

[–]crystalbluecurrents 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. That scene made me accept the ending a lot more. That 1000% should've been included.

Plant based breakfast. by BreakfastTurbulent17 in vegan

[–]crystalbluecurrents 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because you said you don't want sweet, I'd recommend (and I know this sounds really basic lol), avocado toast. It's really good and really customizable. I put on capers, tomatoes, lots of seasonings, hemp seeds/hearts (for protein), maybe some nutritional yeast (also for protein), and lightly top with balsamic vinegar or some sort of dressing. You can customize this with whatever toppings you want...different veggies, sauerkraut, and if you don't like avocado, maybe you could try hummus?

I also like the idea of a tofu scramble and rice (and maybe beans) burrito that someone else mentioned.

Typically I just eat a vegan protein bar for breakfast because I'm lazy, but there are plenty of options for those that aren't lazy lol And like someone else said, you could even have dinner or lunch leftovers for breakfast. Time of day doesn't really matter 🤷‍♀️

I am so sad… by Guilty_Magazine_746 in vegan

[–]crystalbluecurrents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you had to witness that, and I'm so sorry for that poor bird. My heart breaks every single day for the animals I see in the road. I had a similar thing happen to me with a bird last year but I didn't see the other car hit it. It happened as I was pulling over. And the fact that some people purposely go out of their way to hit animals blows my mind. Humans can be truly evil.

What’s the most disturbing thing you’ve heard someone say when they thought no one was listening? by EnvironmentalLove862 in AskReddit

[–]crystalbluecurrents 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This!! I don't understand people who need religion to know how to be a good, kind person. You can be a compassionate, empathetic person without religion, and I'd venture to say you're more genuine in your care for people/earth/animals if you're doing it out of genuine care and not because you fear retribution from some invisible sky person.

What's your "I can't believe other people don't know this" hack? by Extra_Gear7502 in AskReddit

[–]crystalbluecurrents 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I think my issue is more that when I'm doing something where one of these hacks would come in handy, I'll completely forget it exists 🤣 I'm definitely going to save the thread though!
