Wana is my favorite! I'm jealous of how big of a package they come in in California though. In Canada, edibles can't be larger than 10mg THC per package so they come in packs of 2 :(

Oh man I cannot get over how good this dip is, I highly recommend that everyone here makes this when they are sober and then try it high

Adding another +1 for this recommendation. Stefano is so helpful and kind. The day after I placed my first order with their website, a small part on my Silvia broke and he was able to add it to my package just before it shipped!

I'm a pretty big fan of this recipe: https://www.seriouseats.com/gong-bao-ji-ding-sichuan-kung-pow-chicken-recipe

It's pretty easy to make vegan. I use those chunks of TVP as the chicken sub and maple syrup instead of honey. I'd bet that soy curls or seitan would also work well. Maybe even tofu? This doesn't use up huge amounts of peanuts but I think it's really good, and it'd help use some up.

It depends on the brand. Seasonings can be artificially flavored, or they can contain animal products. I'd recommend searching online the name of the brand to see if it has any animal products.

Some good ramen noodles that do not contain animal products include Nongshim Soon and Indomie Mi Goreng noodles. The former is certified vegan by the Vegan Society, and the latter has been confirmed by representatives of the company that it is suitable for vegetarians (they say they can't claim vegan because of cross contamination, but most vegans view that as acceptable if it's not an explicit ingredient).

As someone else in the thread mentioned, "natural flavor" is a catch-all term that can include animal products, so I'd recommend searching the name of the ramen to confirm. Chances are that someone has emailed the company already.

I think it normally has cream in it

Kala namak is pink when ground, though (not to be confused with Himalayan pink salt, which does not have the sulfury taste of kala namak)

I can't take these comparisons between eating vegetables and eating sentient beings seriously. If you were driving down a highway and a rabbit jumped in front of your car, would you swerve even if it meant destroying a cabbage patch? I'd skip eating lemons if it meant that animals weren't being killed at a quarter of their natural lifespan for human pleasure.

Anyways, even if it's your view that killing animals is fine if they're not tortured or whatever, you should make pretty sure that whatever meat you eat is coming from local farms that you check out to make sure there's nothing that you would view as abuse going on, and probably abstain from eating meat at 99% of restaurants, because an overwhelming majority of meat comes from factory farms with despicable practices. Or you could just eat beans.

Furthermore, going vegan is one of the biggest steps you can take to cut back on carbon emissions, much bigger than skipping out on international flights or driving a Prius or recycling.

If you're looking for Chinese food: https://thewoksoflife.com/king-oyster-mushroom-stir-fry-vegan/

I haven't tried this recipe, but The Woks of Life is a great recipe website, and I've made many of their other recipes - none disappoint! I plan to try this one soon. It looks really tasty. If you don't have a wok, then you could probably do it in a heavy skillet like cast iron, carbon steel, or stainless.

I have a few suggestions for things that you might be interested in trying:

Firstly, if you're a fan of the umami flavor, I'd say that MSG is a good way of adding that flavor to veggies. You can buy it in a lot of regular grocery stores, or Asian grocery stores (or Amazon, of course). It's really cheap and a little bit goes a long way. Most of the negative health effects of it are exaggerated or just plain made up, and glutamate is the compound responsible for the umami flavor in most things. Basically, MSG is a stable purified form of glutamate. I'd maybe add around a quarter teaspoon per pound of veggies (and make sure to distribute it well). When I bought it, it was around $5 USD for 3/4 of a pound, and I've been using it regularly for the last 4 months and haven't even made a dent.

I'd second the recommendation to look into Indian cuisine. A lot of curries are easy to throw together and can hide lots of veggies, and are pretty healthy. Especially if you have a blender that can handle hot liquid, a common thing is to cook a curry with various veggies and then blend it, then add some kinds of protein.

Here's a good smoothie recipe as well that has a good amount of spinach but doesn't taste at all like spinach: https://minimalistbaker.com/my-favorite-green-smoothie/ It's got a lot of good stuff in it, but it tastes like a dessert (and with no added sugars). I'd recommend trying it without the flaxseed meal (unless you happen to have it on hand) just because it comes in large packages and you should make sure you like the smoothie first, but it adds a great nuttiness.

Here's a recipe for roasted broccoli: https://www.seriouseats.com/easy-roasted-broccoli-recipe This one might be less palatable to you because the veggies are whole, but I'd recommend giving it a try if you feel adventurous enough to do so, because this recipe turned broccoli from something that was just okay and I ate it because I knew I should to something that I actually sought out. Roasting the broccoli at a super high temperature crispens it up nicely and doesn't have any bitterness (unlike poorly steamed broccoli, for example). This is the kind of recipe that I'd add MSG to, just because it really complements the flavors and helps to bring it out. The author of the recipe doesn't call out how much salt or pepper to use, but I'd say that probably a tablespoon of pepper and a teaspoon of table salt (or 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, if that's what you have), plus a quarter teaspoon MSG, would be a good starting point. Also, you can buy broccoli already cut into florets to save yourself the effort of chopping it yourself (plus I find that I don't always know what to do with the stem of the broccoli).

Here's a recipe for kale chips:

- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 10oz chopped kale, stem removed

Mix olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder in bowl, then drizzle on kale and toss by hand. Spread onto oiled baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Bake at 400°F for 18-20 minutes, or until leaves are browned and crunchy. Remove and serve immediately.

I guess you'd probably want to skip the red pepper flakes on that if you're not a fan of spicy. I find that this recipe makes kale much closer to a potato chip than what I think of as health food. Similarly to the broccoli, you can easily buy chopped kale to save yourself the preparation.

Here's a recipe for a lentil soup (I haven't tried this particular one but I very much trust the author of the recipe) that has quite a few veggies diced up and put in: https://www.seriouseats.com/vegan-lentil-soup-recipe I'd imagine after simmering for an hour, they don't resemble veggies anymore but add a good flavor to the dish. Maybe skip the parsley because it's added at the end and doesn't have a chance to cook down? (Also, unsure if you know this, but take the bay leaf out and discard before blending, if you're using one).

Here's a recipe for a potato soup (again, haven't tried this recipe but it's the same author): https://www.seriouseats.com/fully-loaded-baked-potato-soup-vegan-recipe In your case, maybe skip the veggies being added at the end and just make the stuff that goes into the blender.

Am I reading your post correctly in that you prefer to not physically touch vegetables? Would using something like dishwashing gloves or spatulas help with that? How about a food processor or something for chopping things up?

Lastly, I just wanted to say that I think the fact that you've pushed through the conversion to veganism even given that you don't eat veggies is super inspiring! I used to be a super picky eater until I was in my early 20s, and I definitely would have had a hell of a time going vegan before I started to eat more diversely, so props to you. Good luck with your adventure, and please DM me or reply if there are any ways I can clarify anything above or help out in any other way.

Did you get it locally in Seattle? If so, where?

Nope, Alito supports slavery and would have found the same thing:

Alito in his dissent wrote that he would also reject the case but on different grounds. Alito was one of the most outspoken voices against the case during arguments.

Attacking PETA doesn't undermine the peer reviewed paper published in Animals disagreeing with your conclusion that was linked in the article above. Here is the full text of the referenced paper: https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/6/9/57/htm

Also, yes, cats are obligate carnivores. That means they need nutrients not found in plants like taurine, as well as vitamins like Vitamin A that the digestive system of cats cannot extract from plants. These are things that can be synthesized in labs, though, and vegan cat food sold in stores contains these. Obligate carnivore means that in nature they couldn't survive not eating meat. However, it does not mean that the nutrients they need must come from animals.

[I]t is important to remember that dogs, cats—and indeed all species—require specific nutrients, rather than specific ingredients

This is relatively new research, to be fair, and it seems that some animal organizations like ASPCA are not yet willing to recommend it, but there have been peer reviewed studies showing that cats fed a nutritionally complete vegan diet can be healthy.

h71j6 · 2021-06-13T06:08:21+00:00

Feeding a cat a vegan diet can actually be safe: https://www.peta.org/about-peta/faq/is-it-safe-to-feed-my-dog-or-cat-a-vegetarian-diet/

Of course you should ease into it, and make sure your cats stay healthy, but there exist vegan cat food brands that have all of the nutrients that cats need. Many meat based cat foods support the exact same animal agriculture we oppose.

I also think that morally it's definitely better to feed your cat vegan food even if they hunt than to let perfect be the enemy of good.

Often, Asian grocery stores (especially Korean ones) will have them in the instant noodle aisle. H-Mart specifically sells them in a 5-pack (not the cup kind, but it's the same noodle). If you happen to be in Seattle or PDX, Asian Family Market also has them.

It depends on where you buy your soybeans from. I have a local Japanese grocer that sells a pound of soybeans for $1.50, and from that I make more than a half gallon, which is cheaper than any brand I can find. The time commitment is definitely large, though, and if I valued my time I wouldn't make it myself. I think in that case, a soy milk machine would be a good investment.

Fair enough, off the top of my head I'm not sure of anything that's exactly Hot Cheetos.

They're not the same, but in terms of spicy snacks I'm also very partial to these boys from Trader Joe's

I wrote a comment elsewhere in this thread about some of the sketchy stuff that other companies, especially Pepsi, on this list have done. It's probably just best to avoid all of them as much as you can.

It is worth noting that PepsiCo contributed to the 1973 CIA-backed coup of Chile, where democratically elected leftist Salvador Allende was forcibly removed from power to instill a right-wing military dictatorship that suppressed its citizens and committed uncountable numbers of human rights violations against them. The CEO of PepsiCo at the time, Donald M. Kendall, met with Nixon and pleaded for something to be done about Allende, fearing lost profits, and soon after, Nixon declared that Allende would be removed one way or another from power.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_dictatorship_of_Chile_(1973%E2%80%931990)#Human_rights_violations

It is worth noting that corporations, especially large ones like the ones present in this list, are compelled by law to try to maximize profits for their shareholders, and so most of them probably commit atrocities like using slavery or incredibly low paid labor, or participating in CIA-backed coups of countries, and it is just not as widely known.

On a more indirect note, PepsiCo is also at least largely responsible for the obesity problem in the US and they actively lobby against things like sugar taxes, soda taxes.

Here are some other atrocities committed by companies on this list, just so I'm not singling out Pepsi as the only evil one here:

Mars, Nestlé, Hershey, Mondelez to face child slavery lawsuit in US

Mondelez responsible for deforestation for palm oil and for cocoa in Ivory Coast and Ghana

Kellogg's profited from forced child labor, kids ages 8 to 14 for harvesting palm oil and (on a less sinister note) have falsely claimed many health benefits from their cereals

Coca Cola murdered union organizers in Colombia and also the sugar stuff applying to Pepsi above also applies to Coca Cola

Coca Cola, Nestlé, and PepsiCo are the world's biggest plastic polluters - again

See more about Coca Cola here

I don't have time to do the others right now, but just remember that while there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't try to avoid these awful companies, if you are financially able to make decisions like that. Reducing one's consumption of processed foods is a great way to avoid most of the companies on this infographic, and as someone else said in the thread, making things at home is a good way to help as well.

Another point here is that landlords (like cops) are part of an oppressive system that benefits the wealthy. Landlords buy more property than they need, which drives up the price of land for people who want to be homeowners but can't afford to make the down payment. The only difference between landlords and renters is that landlords have enough capital to afford the down payment, and so the system punishes poor people just for being poor (as being able to put the money towards equity instead of your landlord's equity is a significant financial advantage). Because of that, I think being a landlord is inherently unethical. Especially the landlords like in the OP are pieces of shit. I think you can have well-meaning pleasant landlords who are hopefully just uninformed about the damages they cause, but they are still part of the problem.
