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.

It's so hard to be vegan, though. My supermarket only currently has 6 metres of vegan specific shelving. Also vegan food is expensive and I have a medical condition where I can't comprehend dried beans.

Remember you too are an animal, and veganism seeks to protect animals from suffering.

Our stores also have just a small section like that, but not all hope is lost. Theres other products that can be vegan that are stocked with the rest of their product types. Just about the only thing we buy from the store vegan section are some apple sage vegan sausages that we use in jumbalaya .

There's also just making stuff some scratch which can be a lot cheaper in terms of money than even a non- vegan diet but you'll be paying with the 20-60 minutes time it takes to make a meal. My SO and i usually end up doubling recipes and freezing the extra batch to reduce this time burden. Our library had a lot of recipe books and then there's some sites like nora cooks which have great recipes.
