Been vegan for 3 years now. I lost my superpowers once when a restaurant gave me cheese when I asked for none. I wasn't going to waste food.
Flying sucks ass. So, I'll give up both?
Flying. I don’t like that shit anyway.
i’ve been trying to have less meals with meat. we had delicious butternut squash curry that was flavorful and filling over rice, and i was super proud of it.
then my husband made chicken to put in all the leftovers… 🤦🏻♀️
can’t people just fly less private jets please?
I think I'd schedule a movie night for Earthlings every time he did some asshole move like that
I gave up flying a while ago, so I guess I’ll keep that up.
If forced to choose, I'd give up flying. As I'm scared of it anyway, that makes the most sense. :)
That said, I think that if we all just did less of those things, it would be good too. Take more vacations near home. Eat meat only a few times a week. That sort of thing.
Already more or less against meat and eat seldom. Regardless, cannot give up flying or I'll never see my home country nor family again save for a long af boat ride. 🤷♂️
Meat probably. I need to travel for work.
I eat probably 21 meat meals a week. I still choose meat though. Definitely need some ideas for veg recipes. My favorite veg meal I’ve made is shakshouka, but nearly everything else always falls a little flat. What are some of your guys’ favorite recipes?
I love shakshouka with aubergine that shit's great. Anyway, vegan here and most of the stuff i eat is indian food (a lot of that stuff is vegan or at least vegetarian by default), middle eastern food with baba ganoush/hummus/falafel or east asian foods with tofu or tempeh. I find that just veganizing meatdishes take a bit of skill and fantasy for it not to just become a lackluster version of the thing you already like and are used to.

The answer is "yes". Only have flown 3 times in my life of 45 years, and to be honest, 2 times was superfluous, disappointing and unnecessary, more than 20 years ago. And meat: I don't need it. I enjoy the hunted meat from my cousins, though, and fish. I'm too soft to butcher our chicken. And my daughter and wife would kill me if I do...
Airfare has to be the winner here right? With the way our global economy is currently set up we still require airplanes to deliver goods and people vast distances quickly.
I’d much rather eat veggies anyway. I’ve just grown to recently really like vegetables more than the meat part of a meal.
Medical supplies yes, but not shit like flowers, cherries, or tourists. Tourism is oversold and I'm so done. Especially cruise ships, just using international waters to dump their garbage
On that note: we really need some regulation on what's allowed on open ocean. It's to important of an eco system to survive without regulations.
And you enforce them at port.
Could I give up meat for year if I plan on going on vacation that year and eat meat on non travel years?
