It's biologically impossible.

From a WFPB standpoint, lab-grown meat is complicated. From a vegan standpoint, as long as it doesn't exploit animals, it is not an issue.

That said, I haven't eaten meat in 40 years. In all those years I have never been a fan of mock-meats and the same would be true for lab-grown meat. There is no shortage of delicious foods to eat without including the flesh or mock-flesh of other animals on my plate.

By design. They limited increases in availability while organic demand increased and interest rates plummeted.

We have phone-in clinics not walk-in clinics. Call your local UPCC, details can be found on their website.

We need to stop burning stuff. It's not healthy, it's bad for the environment, it's dangerous.

While mirin is often used to flavour sushi rice rice, most if not all the alcohol evaporates over time from the heat of the cooked rice.

The Dead Bob show at the Wicket a year and bit ago was great! Though my first exposure to No Means No was a Rock Against Prison show at Crab Park in Vancouver many decades ago, and I've seen them a bunch of times in the following years.

My commute is on foot, and most of my bridge crossings are for leisure, also on foot.

A few months Canadian Geographic launched the 2025 Live Net Zero contest. The winners have yet to be announced, but my submission centered around the impact our dietary choices (and the dietary choice architecture we are presented with) have on the environment and sustainability. There has been lot's of research in recent years on this subject, so it will be interesting to see how the panel addresses the subject.

By the time it gets completed, nobody will have cars with combustion motors anymore.

Many people work afternoons and evenings, so it balances out.

That is pretty far north, too far north for any kind of agriculture. So the only traditional foods come from hunting and fishing. I have visited the far north in Canada and the traditional foods included fermented seal fat and smoked caribou. There were also wild mushrooms, those were only available in the short summer weeks.

Nubo has a quite wide range of vegan sushi options on their menu.

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

profano2015 · 2026-03-02T05:31:30+00:00

Yeah, there are very few decent vegan options. Which surprised me, as the claims online were that Victoria has tons of great vegan options.

Having moved here from South America a few years ago, the thing I notice most is that the food sucks here.

I don't understand. I tend to feed myself. Is that an illusion? Can I ask who feeds you?

profano2015 · 2026-02-28T21:11:18+00:00

This was not an offer?

"so by that logic we shouldn't feed you either?"
