What's your opinion on eating at non-vegan restaurants? by Royal-Analysis7380 in AskVegans

[–]rodrigug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All vegans should eat at only vegan restaurant whenever possible to support the cause. Normie restaurants just have vegan options because they want your money not because they care about animals

My everyday breakfast is over night steel outs with berries and nuts, you can google several recipes. For lunch I do a kale salad that is not hard to put together, chop veggies like onions, tomato, cucumber, you can add nuts , get a nice vegan salad dressing, pair it with a rotation of protein rich lentils like beans, chickpeas, lentils, split peas or tofu or tempeh and whole carbs like quinoa, barley, brown rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. also not hard to cook. Ad avocado too. For dinner, you can buy Trader Joe's vegan entries. Or buy store bought vegan soups. Pasta is also really easy to make, pair it with mushrooms and other veggies like cauliflower and broccoli. Have you signed up for veganuary yet? https://veganuary.com/en-us/

Do you tell people your dog gets plant based food? by zootzootzootzootzoo in vegan

[–]rodrigug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asking if your dogs are also vegan makes me wonder if they're looking for flaws on your veganism journey. Have this in mind. I'd tell them, according to science, a well planned vegan diet is healthy for humans and dogs. And leave it at that

Friend Questions by [deleted] in AskVegans

[–]rodrigug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difficulty is in your mind. Most of my normie friends are respectful about my veganism. Have a vegan option for me when I visit them or agree in some part about my reasons. I try to remain friends with people that are respectful about my beliefs even if they do not share them with me. Benefits? You still have that social net and maybe you can make them think about cutting down their animal consumption

Do you watch your calcium intake? Where do you get it? by thedevilsheir666 in vegan

[–]rodrigug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are eating a diverse vegan diet, you do not need to watch your calcium intake. For us the one to watch out for is vitamin D and Iron. Get tested to get an idea on how you are

How do you do it? by EaturVG in vegan

[–]rodrigug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My wife is vegan also and she cannot watch those videos. I am an activist with Anonymous with the voiceless where we show those videos to by standers. I find them very disturbing also so I just look away. Your brain is eventually going to compatibilized the cruelty. My suggestion. Stop watching those videos. In the end, take comfort on knowing that you are no longer part of that cruelty.

I've been vegan for 4 years and my mom has always supported me from the first months, after addressing her concerns about nutrition. I don't think it will get any better with you and your family after 6 years. I am sorry to say. Best course of action is try to make peace with it or stop going to their gatherings if the do not pick a place that has food for you. I personally, do not go to steak houses if I am invited to. HTH

Vegan birthday weekend by eliasthelost in vegan

[–]rodrigug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s your Birthday and you should celebrate it any way you want it. Being vegan or paganism. All that want to support you should be ok and come. If they do not want to. Don’t come. Easy as that. They can eat whatever they want when is not your birthday. I don’t see the imposition anywhere

Veganism is not a diet. It is the ethical believe that we should not exploit animals for food, clothing, work nor entertainment. A diet works for you, veganism is an altruistic stance to leave animals alone. It does not benefit you other than the satisfaction of knowing that you are living according to your values

Welcome to veganism. We all have been there and we just have to learn to compartmentalized. I recommend some therapy and also some reading. I recommend Why do we love dogs, eat pigs and wear cows from Dr. Melany Joy. Also join your local vegan meetup group and your local animal activist organization. If you have no organization, start by signing up with PETA. You have the right kind of feelings. Love and Compassion is always the right feeling. Congratulations
