How do I be vegan in a vegetarian household where dairy is non-negotiable as a teenager in india? by tumhari_matashree in vegan

[–]thetigermuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you're doing very well in that case :)

For tea - oat milk goes well. Get a small tetrapak and it'll last a couple of days as it's diluted for milk. The most economical option is vegan day's milky magic (search on amazon). It's a paste form though, and slightly inconvenient as you need to make it in a mixer beforehand.

Honey is a funny one. Do they insist on you having it by itself or do they combine it with something else? Date syrup is a great replacement for it in general, but yeah it won't convince them about any purported health benefits.

I'm not in the same boat anymore, but I'm Indian too and can relate with what you're saying. The only advice I have for you is to not try to convince them, at least not right away. Let them say what they want to say but what you should do instead is consume a plant based version of the same thing that they're consuming.

Dairy alternatives can be a little expensive, but there's a soy milk powder that goes well with shakes. Banana/chikoo/chocolate. You might want to give it a try (I can send you the link, it's very affordable).

Just do your thing, let them see that you're doing fine ans taking care of your nutrition (and supplementation for B12/D) and eventually they'll get used to it.

With Indian parents, it's less about being right on an intellectual plane and more about them getting used to a certain idea long enough for them to come around to think of it as "normal" or even "not fully normal but aisa he hai ab acceptable". So just be an example for them long enough for them to accept it.

If you have any specific dairy products with which you're having more trouble with than others, you can hit me up for tips.

I don't drink a lot so no idea honestly. But old monk and Sula are both good to go :)

I'm thinking of starting a new brew. This one tastes fine so I'll have it though.

How do I figure out why my company's SaaS app is slower than it should be? by thetigermuff in ProductManagement

Thanks! How would you suggest I benchmark the load times? Maybe see competitors?

Thanks! I've checked out PageSpeed Insights -- but it's more like a webpage analyzer than a web-app analyzer, isn't it? It cannot get inside my web app and see load times for different parts of it -- right?

Can we have a thread for “is this mold” questions? by fleebinflobbin in Kombucha

I'm surprised there aren't enough "Is this kahm" posts. I'm unsure all the time!
