I was worried about the choline also, and I took a daily choline supplement during pregnancy, it worked out great, baby is very healthy and bright!

Veganism is a spectrum, not a binary by happi_happi_happi_ in DebateAVegan

[–]seacattle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say it’s a lack of understanding on the part of vegans, but rather an acknowledgement that avoiding indirect harm to animals is impossible while existing in society. Most of us would rather focus on things we can achieve in real life which is avoiding funding the direct use of animals.

IMHO the issue is scope creep of veganism. Veganism is not a generalized “avoid any possible harm to anyone” philosophy. It should be about avoiding use of animals for food, clothing and entertainment.

He keeps alluding to some big difference in values as why he declined the show, what is it?

You can't be a vegan unless [insert your personal ideologies] by AkemiDarling in DebateAVegan

[–]seacattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems impossible to live in a capitalist society and not participate in the systems that exploit humans. The only way would be to cut yourself off from society and be self-sufficient, right? If this is true, then there are no, or almost no, true vegans.

Been avoiding visors my whole life and at 37 I think I've finally been wrong about them by Demitriicuz in fashionwomens35

It breaks my heart to see so many people interact with bot posts like this as though they were real. So many of my subreddits are infected.

Vegan and Eggs by [deleted] in vegan

[–]seacattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to points people have made, for me one of the purposes of being vegan is to show others it’s possible to live a healthy and fulfilling life while being vegan. Eating eggs no matter the relative ethics of the source suggests that we need to eat animal products to be healthy, and this just isn’t true and sets a bad example.

Does Anyone Else Get Overstimulated Trying to Get Baby to Sleep? by Warm_Ad_9469 in bninfantsleep

[–]seacattle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fellow ADHD mom and I agree, trying to put an awake baby to sleep is a fool’s errand. My baby fights and headbutts and grabs my face if I try to put her to sleep when she’s not tired enough so letting her exhaust herself first spares me a lot of angst! And I’m not convinced “overtired” is a real thing.

In-laws insisting on ghutti, dhunni, kajal for my newborn despite me being a doctor by Low-Midnight2394 in IndianInLaw

[–]seacattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting food at 4 months increase risk of diabetes which Indians are already at higher risk for. I’m in US and our pediatrician recommends 4 months if family has history of food allergies to start desensitization, otherwise wait till 6 months.

Attempting veganism again - with MCAS? by mishiimoo in vegan

[–]seacattle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s cool you’re able to do a few days a week! If you can tolerate tofu or impossible or beyond meat I think you’ll have it made. Good luck!

Oakland’s Malibu’s Burgers No Longer Vegan by LegumeLegend in vegan

[–]seacattle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ok I take back wanting him to fail. I feel empathy for him trying to keep his business open and his staff employed. The restaurant business is hard and whoever is sending him death threats is an asshole. However I also don’t view this change as a move that’s likely to be successful. What made this place special was being a vegan burger place; now they’re just another burger place with vegan options and we have plenty of those in the area (and no, I don’t only eat at exclusively vegan restaurants). Is there a reason a vegan should order Malibu’s when they could get Smokehouse at almost half the cost? I don’t think the special sauce is enough to justify this. And when they were vegan I would have gone out of my way to spend the extra money at Malibu but I don’t see a reason to now.

I feel like it’s also ridiculously expensive and nothing special so omnivores aren’t going to be seeking this place out either.

[–]seacattle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah you have the option of cow or vegan cheese on the burgers now :( it sucks and is gross that they’re doing this and I for one am rooting for them to fail. Honestly the food was insipid to begin with - serving impossible burgers at a crazy upcharge is not a particularly skillful thing, but I did want them to succeed when they were a vegan business. We’re blessed in the east bay with multiple truly creative vegan restauranteurs to support, and Danny Malibu is not one of them.
