I agree as a non-vegan. There are a lot more accessible and tasty vegan options than there used to be. Even though I do eat meat I love having a fulfilling meal that is all veg and getting a little closer to being vegan.

A lot of my meals are vegetarian or vegan because of how much cheaper they are, which helps save up for my big meat binges once or twice a month.

Basically, I eat veggie or vegan for the meals I have to eat, and I eat meat for the meals I want to eat.

You should try chana masala

My tummy motility has always preferred veg-heavy meals, rather than meat. So for me, I’m very much enjoying the shift toward more veg/vegan options that aren’t just salad (salad isn’t a valid “vegan friendly” meal option at restaurants, imho. It may be vegan, but it’s hardly food.) or black bean burgers.

I tend to get the vegan or veg option when I go out to eat, if there is one. And oh man I miss the little cafe that used to be around here that had nothing but vegan food. Oh! And even better sometimes when I have to go near Rockford, il, I’ll stop at pig minds which is a brewery with entirely vegan fare that’s so good most people who go there don’t know it’s vegan at all!

As for buying stuff for myself from the grocery, well I can’t remember the last time I actually bought raw meat.. probably a year ago? That’s not to say I haven’t bought like lunch meat or hot dogs (on sale very cheap, went into the freezer for emergency meals), and a lot of the pre-made stuff I get does contain meat, but overall it’s just not in my shopping list anymore.

When my quail need to be culled I’ll be eating them, though. That’s half the reason I started raising them.

Not really. We have lowered our red meat consumption which was already the least eaten but prices are helping us be better about it.
