Here's just a few reasons why I don't like cooking... (1 Viewer)

I enjoy cooking alot personally. I may not be the best but it‘s eatable every time. I do get why people may not enjoy it.

I know you probably already know this but if you're trying to phase out meat make sure youre getting the proper nutrients you need, I just know way too many people that have decided to go this route and then have had nutritional deficiencies because of it.

That's why I have stunted growth. Mom decided because the cult she was in we should all go vegan. No leg work no looking into it. Just one day no more eggs, no more milk, no more meat.

@melancholia for vegan eating avoid trend stores. Look for Asian stores, mexican stores, or Indian/middle eastern stores. They sell vegan things for a lot cheaper. Also invest in a slow cooker for dried items like chic peas or beans. Also another tip indian and some asian cultures have a firm grasp on vegitarian eating at ti's best. Look up those recipes for good balanced nutrician.

Imagine having healthy priorities.
I eat really unhealthy and am still underweight lmao

Same

You guys are so lucky
I have to really watch what I eat and excercise regularly because I gain weight easily.

be careful though because some of those cultures truly do.... but some of them only think they do and pride themselves on being healthy but they are actually eating only somewhat healthy.. (for example Itsnot easy to get vegetables that aren't either raw, fermented...or covered in oil/ ied... and two of those things are tasty and good for you... but you don't always want to eat raw and ferment and veggies so instead you end up eating a pile of oil/fat with one leaf in it. even today at lunch I could only find fried lotus root and fried mushroom or oily..i actually don't know what it's called in English but it's a stalk green thin vegetable)

so if you are following recipes from that culture, make sure they are healthy in other ways too

Same goes for American trend vegan meals and treats. TIP: WATCH OUT FOR SODIUM, CALORIES AND SUGAR LEVELS! In my forced time as vegan I noticed some of the vegan replacing meat items where horrible sodium bombs. And as you mentioned full of oil and fat.

Still better then the way some American vegans eat. Think shoveling a salad and eating some beans is enough sustain life.

Learn what plants contain what and how to best max out your meals. This can be said for both vegans and non-vegans alike.

also, a only slightly related note for everyone:

meat isn't all that good for you. I'm not vegetarian, vegan or anything and I'm not saying anyone necessarily should or shouldn't be either, but for those of us who eat meat, really do research on how much we should be consuming verses how much we do.. americans and British folks might be the only ones really going crazy on other junk food or other portion issues... but quite a few more countries go too hard on the meat portions as well, and it can have some serious health consequences

^^^^

General consensus of how much meat you should be consuming in a meal should fit into the palm of your hand. Cause yeah meat isn't that great for you but it gives humans some things that that plants cannot.

for sure, that's why I still eat meat (plus I don't dislike it) but I cut just cut down so I could get the end it without the down sides

plus I feel better eating less meat, Im not sure if these are real benefits or just my head but regardless I feel less full less soon so I can eat more veggies which I really enjoy

Actually eating more on the vegan end of things IS better for you. Still getting the benefits of meat in your diet. Plus veggies give you good things to keep your body going. Eat a non strict vegan and eat meat every now and again and your arteries will probably appreciate it when your older.

Advice to you younger kids. Learn to eat with little salt/soy sauce and do not drink packaged ramen broth. Sodium can do a lot of damage to your body.
