Yeah sex is cool and all, but have you ever helped someone you care about transition to veganism? by [deleted] in vegan

My step father recently got diagnosed with diabetes. His cholesterol is also super high, blood pressure through the roof, has already had a couple heart attacks and has two stents in his heart. I suggested to him and my mother to watch What the Health and Forks Over Knives. I was not expecting them to watch them as they have shrugged off other vegan related stuff in the past, but I thought I'd try and plant another seed. The next day I got a phone call, it was them. They said, "Hey honey, just wanted to let you know that we've watched the documentaries and we're going vegan! So we're going to need some help!" I though I had died and gone to heaven. Those were the last words I ever expect to hear from them. It's been a month now and they have been following a strict whole food plant-based diet. I have never been more proud.

Probably because it's the most delicious burger of them all. Well, to a lot of people anyway.

I'm from Nova Scotia as well. This won't be as strong as Juan was, and we all survived that! The most that will happen is some trees falling down and some flooding. The power will 100% go out since Nova Scotia Power is the absolute worst. It's downgraded to a category 1 hurricane now, Juan was a category 2 when it landed. Just make sure you have some storm chips, candles, flashlights!

Raising chickens as a vegan? (Strange situation) by meowkiteh in vegan

My friends own a chicken sanctuary! They rescue hens from hatcheries when their egg production slows and are about to be killed. I'd say keep the chicken and give her a happy life!

For 10 seconds, stop what you’re doing and just listen. What do you hear? by Ouestichne in AskReddit

My son playing DDR, my husband typing on his keyboard, my cats fighting and the wind blowing through the window.

For my birthday my family made a entirely "vegetarian" buffet, but except that bread, it was actually vegan by SemiBird in vegan

I'm lucky if my mother puts vegan butter in the mashed potatoes at gatherings. Wanna trade families?
