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!

Question of the week:

What's one small habit that makes vegan living easier?

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!

~~Definitely lying awake at night beating myself up for~~ uh, cooking? It's cooking. I default to making stuff from scratch anyway

I'm still sick, this is bullshit :/ I wanna get back out to the gem fields but a walk around the block has me coughing up my lungs.

Why are people so cavalier about infecting people, you wouldn't feed someone bad food, why do people insist on hosting social events while sick? Sickness isn't inevitable, it spreads largely through deliberate decisions. I know of no infection you're better off having than not, many infections could kill or cause long term damage.

I understand why people don't take preventative measures in the absence of symptoms especially when they're bombarded with everything is fine messages. While I'm kinda angry at the general 'rona response I try not to blame individuals. But like if you are coughing and spluttering you should not be inviting people round to your house! And if you do have to go out while sick (we all are yolked to mammon I get that you might be coerced into work or need to get supplies or whatever) you absofuckinglutely should be trying not to spread stuff.

Idk, I live outside a city (just) and don't go into there very much but like you bet I'm masking up if I'm going to be spending time indoors with people, especially during peaks of anything.

Apparently I'm a paranoid nutter though, since I do stuff like check on rates of reportable illnesses and plan around peak cold and flu season, get flu vaccines, and wash my hands /shrug.

oh yeah meeting other people while sick is inexcusable and was the norm before covid even. Hope you feel better soon
