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.

Welcome to the Vegan Theory Club Weekly Megathread!

We’re kicking things off with a space just for vegans! Inspired by our friends over at Hexbear, this thread is the spot to chat about what’s on your mind, what’s happening, and what you’re planning for the week.

Feel free to talk about anything, whether it’s vegan-related or not. This is a chill space for connecting, sharing ideas, and supporting each other.

Looking forward to hearing what everyone’s up to!

Got any ideas?

We’re also taking suggestions for essay topics, recommended readings, or any resources that could help each other out. Feel free to drop in links, ask for advice, or contribute any other materials you think would be useful for the community and we can start adding to the megathread.

Looking forward to hearing what everyone’s up to and what we can explore together!

I so heartily agree with this. I usually make beans on Sunday for the week.

If people have the space and can acquire one, an electric pressure cooker is a game changer. You can cook beans from dry in one hour (+ pressurize and depressurize time). Dried beans are so cheap and store for a very long time. I buy 10 kg at a time for my two person family and store them in large tub. If I remember correctly chickpeas are the most expensive variety I buy and they are $25 CAD for 10 kg, so $2.50 a kg.

When I make baked beans I use a similar recipe, but it's tomato sauce, veg bullion, mustard powder, and maple syrup. Sometimes oregano.

If people haven't joined already, you can hang out with other bean fans at vegan home cooks <3
