The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Rules:

  1. Keep discussions civil.

  2. Arguments against veganism will be removed.

  3. No bigotry is allowed - including speciesism, racism, sexism, classism, ableism, castism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

  4. Sealioning will not be entertained.

  5. No promoting of plant based capitalism

It's as simple as not buying it. There's no trick.

Check out some stuff like the vegan home cooks discord for some recipes, some blogs in whatever cusine you enjoy. Then make those foods.

This is what I did, after deciding to be vegan I just stopped eating it and looked up new recipes. I ate a lot of falafel at first but got the hang of it really quickly. I actually do not recommend dragging it out with baby steps and going slow like so many comments on this thread. I think that is how you fail tbh and most vegans I know did a cut over.

Yeah I did it overnight. Just type "vegan recipes" into a search. Were some days tasteless? yep, some meals fiddly and annoying? yep.

turns out a couple of weeks of confusion and experimentation is actually totally possible to handle.
