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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Meat probably. I need to travel for work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Definitely meat. I'm omnivorous now, but have been vegan for years and vegetarian years before that. Its actually ideal if you can afford it/ find the right dumpsters.

I have not found an efficient and fast way to travel across the ocean as i am not an experienced large vessel sailor and/or do not have access to a deep ocean worthy vessel.

I gave up flying a while ago, so I guess I’ll keep that up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Flying. I don’t like that shit anyway.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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...

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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

I just hate flying.

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.

Could I give up meat for year if I plan on going on vacation that year and eat meat on non travel years?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is it even possible to give up flying?

If I had to go to Europe or Japan, how am I supposed to accomplish that?

I get it. You guys are just trolling.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Why do you need though? Just make a zoom call.

Exactly, now you get it.

I’ve never flown in my life and I’m doing okay.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I have neither.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I haven't flown since the late 90s. So meat I guess since we have things that are close enough now.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I barely fly as it is... so easy choice
