A vegetarian diet is a piece of cake to stick with these days, given all the tasty veggie-burgers on the market. Veganism is more difficult because dairy in its various forms is extremely addicting, but given how cows are horribly mistreated by the dairy industry, as well as the negative effects of milk fat, veganism is the ideal.
Maybe but it doesn't account for taste when they can make a piece of brocili taste like a stake or a piece of chicken then i'll try it but i need a varity in my meals meat, cheese, bread, fruit and veggies all toghter in a happy star ship all the way to my stomach is how i'm gonna live (sorry i know i spelled words wrong but its almost 3am lol)
There are plenty of tasty pseudo-meats out there these days which you should consider trying. There are also great tasting substitutes for milk such as soy-milk, rice-milk and almond-milk, and the non-dairy ice-creams are also superb. The non-dairy cheeses are not very good so far, except for one brand called "Vegan Gourmet". I hope the company that makes it comes up with even better stuff.
I've had soymilk before its not as good as regular milk a little thicker also money is an issue and i've noticed veggie meals are a bit more expensive then regular. I think really the only way I could really say I'd go vegan is if Spock (Nimoy or Quinto)came up to me and said "I wanna Pon Farr with you kayleigh but first you have to be come a vegan" Then I'd do it in a heartbeat
Someone should get Nimoy to do a vegan commercial. The character of Mr. Spock is so beloved that it would have a significant effect...There are many different types of soymilk to try. Have you tried Silk? Buy the stuff when it's on sale. The more people that buy, the less the cost will be. It's good karma food. Better things will come your way if you do all you can to head in that direction. Who knows, you might even get to Pon Farr with someone like Spock! 8D
You just made me check on it, too, and sure enough, Leonard Nimoy lives veggie and prospers! I just saw that on a shirt which must be for sale. If i was still a drinker, i'd toast him with some Romulan Ale.
So He really is Spock then lol talk about creative control on a character i mean he did everything for him invinting the vulcan nerve pinch, the salute, and even veganism
As both an omnivore and now as a vegan, I pursue bodybuilding. I will tell you right now that it is WAY cheaper (about 60% cheaper) for me to be vegan. Why? Because I don't buy pre-made veggie meals/meats/cheeses. I just eat delicious whole food. I do buy rice milk...Costco sells a case of 12 quarts for $15. I prefer rice milk to soy milk any day of the week.
Well, even as an omnivore I always loved vegetables. I loved the different tastes and textures that were available from the garden. As a vegan, that's one thing I really appreciate: making foods with all kinds of flavors and textures.
Basically, if all you care about tasting is meat and cheese, then you need to learn your way around a kitchen!
And that's your right. However, it's a cultural thing due to how you were raised. That's why veggie meats are so popular: people like you go veg and still think they need a "meat" in the meal. There's nothing further from the truth and, biologically-speaking, if you eat meat it should be a side dish, not the main event. Try adding less and less meat to your foods and pad it out with veggies. For example, use 1/3 ground meat instead of 1lb, then add crimini mushrooms and diced potatoes in a dish.
Who are you to dictate consumption absolutes? "people like you go veg and still think they need a "meat" in the meal" The reason I, and probably most people like veggie meats is not because it looks or feels like meat. (That is a common idiotic misnomer) It is because I enjoy the flavor of the cooking process and spices used. I don't like veggie sausage because it reminds me of a pig sausage. Pig sausage is disgusting and I feel as much contempt for someone who would...
state or believe this as I do for the people who mass produce real meat products.
I'm tired of vegetable purists telling me why I enjoy "fake meat" products. FACT IS it is not easy to get the nice savory flavor of something smoke cured into a block of tofu or a chopped up carrot. I can't spend all my time cooking, and after 4 years of not eating meat I am tired of salads.
As for your comments on eating less real meat, I am behind you 100%......
....However, people who like to eat things that seemingly look, feel, or taste like real meat should not be ridiculed as if they are buying from Mr Purdue.
It would seem that even Star Trek acknowledges that in the future mankind (and other well developed species) will stop eating the flesh of other creatures, viewing it as shameful and disgusting.
