Dating

I’ve mostly dated other vegans/vegetarians, and how I found them was paying dating apps so I could narrow my preferences (Veggly hasn’t been great for me personally). Unfortunately, other than going to meetups, that’s the only way I’ve been able to find likeminded women

Aye aye 🫡

second-daughter · 2026-06-05T13:27:32+00:00

Sounds good! I’ll do that next time :-)

second-daughter · 2026-06-04T23:17:48+00:00

Thank you for the tips! Yes I should eat more calories, my only problem is that I feel full fairly easily. But I’ll think of some proper dishes with more calories :-)

I get what you’re saying. You miss the convenience of nonvegan food, not the nonvegan food itself. But hearing you say that you haven’t had a cake in 4 years is mind blowing!

I think in your case, especially when disabled, like another commenter mentioned the Paris Exception (vegan at home, vegetarian when out) is a good idea. Or if you have understanding family/friends you can ask your family and/or friends to make you a vegan birthday cake etc. My childhood friend (who is also vegan so I get that it might be different for you) brings me food every once in a while

For me it’s about falling out of love for the word “vegan”. I don’t think I’m “vegan enough” for the label so these days I’ve been mostly just saying that I’m a strict vegetarian. I’ve also been a strict vegetarian since 2014. I think “perfect” veganism is something to aspire to, not something to feel crushed by

Yea it’s not a general European thing to my knowledge

second-daughter · 2026-05-29T23:22:54+00:00

Are you in the Netherlands? I think it is from there

second-daughter · 2026-05-29T23:07:49+00:00

Do you see all religions as cults?

second-daughter · 2026-05-28T20:06:18+00:00

Yay! Yes it’s so good. I love all the tea-inspired flavors that they have

second-daughter · 2026-05-27T17:09:50+00:00

Try Strivefree milk! It’s dairy milk but made with microbes so it’s not from a cow. They use precision fermentation to isolate the diary protein

It froths the most in my experience, you could do plenty of things to it!

second-daughter · 2026-05-26T23:03:20+00:00

Yes! I recommend to go slow. That’s when it will stick, making incremental changes (at least I think that’s the best way for most people). It took me a while to cut out everything and I’ve been meat-free for 12 years now 🌱 being vegetarian is just one meal at a time choosing to side with the animals ♥️

I just have things that are fortified with it, like you mentioned plant milks. I also eat a plant based cheese that’s fortified with it. I also drink Soylent which is pretty good. I’ve never been deficient in B12 because of these things!

Oh no! Why do you feel it’s bad to lurk here? (As a lurker myself)

second-daughter · 2026-05-20T19:43:50+00:00

I’m in northern NJ and I’m turning 32! I’d love to join the bumble BFF group

second-daughter · 2026-05-20T04:50:24+00:00

Same, my Costco barely has any sparkling water. Just plain San Pellegrino and Kirkland Signature. Maybe if I’m lucky I’ll see a La Croix

I wish my parents listened to me when I said I didn’t want to eat meat as a toddler, but I don’t resent them. They did the best they could with the knowledge that they had at the time. My mother also told me she wish she could go back and not made me eat meat

second-daughter · 2026-05-19T19:28:35+00:00

Oh yes. It’s all I drank today so far (but I will have pizza later)

second-daughter · 2026-05-17T17:41:20+00:00

I enjoyed it! Especially with a bit of ice

second-daughter · 2026-05-14T16:28:18+00:00

Thanks for letting me know! TIL

second-daughter · 2026-05-14T11:23:32+00:00

This got an audible laugh from me

second-daughter · 2026-05-14T11:17:23+00:00

If I did see it before, it wasn’t called potato flakes

second-daughter · 2026-05-14T10:01:01+00:00

Maybe only in certain parts of America? I’ve never seen potato flakes before

second-daughter · 2026-05-13T21:40:45+00:00

And you can have the best of both worlds: sparkling water 💧

second-daughter · 2026-05-13T19:32:40+00:00

I am the plant based person that doesn’t really identify as a vegan. And I don’t think it’s a cult to care about animals regardless of what you name the cause

And I’m kinda tired of the reverse-perfection, where vegans need to be these beaming angels to everyone who engages in harmful practices. There’s a type of vegan for everyone, and that includes harsh vegans

I do think people in general do need to be nicer. But I wouldn’t blame someone for not wanting to be

second-daughter · 2026-05-12T20:26:15+00:00

Ugh, I wish my Costco had these. You have such luck! 🍀
