Why don’t people consider fish flesh to be meat?? I just had a conversation with someone who was convinced that fish wasn’t meat. They even tried to argue that they were a vegetarian despite the fact that they eat fish/seafood. And they’re not the only one. Fish are not vegetables they’re animals! Right? So I don’t get it. Genuinely confused 🤷‍♀️

I honestly have no idea. My only thought is there’s some disconnect in the brain because they’re not furry cuddly seeming mammals? Still animals and still one hundred percent meat though. I mean pescetarianism is a thing but I do feel ya, I've had conversations about it too. I don’t get it either.

wait what is vegan on the taco bell menu???? :o i'm genuinely interested

A lot actually, Taco bell even has a ‘how to eat vegan’ thing on their site now, can see it here. I usually get a rice and beans burrito w/ potatoes and guac, and fiesta potatoes with guac. I use to get crunch wraps. Super easy to veganize there.

Are you a fan of avocado? how do you eat it if so? Trying to add it to my diet more

I love avocado! I like adding it on sandwiches, burgers, pastas, chili...anything. Even just mashed on toast with salt and pepper...mm.

Your blog is a delicious, vegan safe haven! You were right about veganism rubbing off on people. My aunt started asking questions about it and decided that she wanted to start cutting out meat. My mom also decided that she was becoming a vegetarian- I’ll be surprised if either of them actually go through with it, BUT the fact that they’re thinking about it is pretty cool lol. It’s a start. I wish that there were more moments like this and less of the bullshit 😑

love to hear this kind of positivity and I so agree..♡

as a vegan, i can't get over the fact that you would even celebrate thanksgiving. if fair trade means anything to you, dropping a racist holiday should too.

whether I celebrate thanksgiving or not doesn’t change the fact that it’s celebrated still. like i’m just here sharing recipes. I think a lot of us are pretty much on the same page about the horribleness and origin of thanksgiving but that doesn’t stop us from overeating with the folks in our lives, because that’s honestly all its about anymore to most of us. an excuse to gain 20 pounds, maybe get drunk and argue with ur aunt. I get messages from people asking all excited and nervous for help for their first vegan thanksgiving with their families because they wanna impress them and i’ll always be here to help you out. because that’s so important like yes share all the vegan food with your family. like, life’s too short, man. i’m not like “promoting” thanksgiving. most of us vegans are pretty much “awake” to these issues it’s not that deep, it’s just food. smell a flower.

What are good ways to convince your parents, in a family of meat eaters, that I want to go vegan. I've been vegan for a week now in secret.

I’d just be open and honest with them. I’m not sure how old you are or what your circumstances are so it’s hard to give advice really. But if they’re buying your food still that makes it trickier, i’d just try to educate them. You could print out articles and show them, tell them its your choice? Show the benefits health wise (that usually gets a lot of people on board, whereas compassion for farm animals/the planet comes later because people are super desensitized.) They love you so hopefully they will come around. I know it’s harder when you’re dependent on them for buying your food but. Check out my facts tag there’s tons of articles and info you could print out and show them. Education is key, really. Also making meals for our omnivore friends and fam is a solid idea because some omnivores really think we graze on the sides of the road and eat twigs off trees. Google veganized versions of you guys’ favorite meals!
