  • I watched Earthlings while I was nursing my newborn. Thats all it took.

    Regular milk was easy to give up, I like coconut milk better anyway, cheese was much harder to be honest. Still milk, but cheese was rough. Hummus was the only thing that could satiate the creving.

    I’m pretty certain soy won’t give you “big boobs” unless you had a quantum fuckton of it, so much so, it’s impossible for a human to consume naturally.



  • I had to buy beans at Walmart the other day… I don’t normally get them there. I was looking for white beans. They had this brand in both fhe 15soup pack, and they also had a white bean pack. I saw in the white bean pack, they add “ham flavoring”. I was so grossed out, what is ham flavoring in dried beans? I had to buy the great calue brand. No ham flavoring added.



  • Even when I’m not a practicing vegan, I dislike cream cheese and sour cream. I cant order many things just because if you ask them to leave it off, you might not only get a look for it, but they may just put it on there anyway.

    I threw a crunch wrap (black bean with cheese and jalapeno) out the window about ten years ago. Not my finest moment, but fuck sour cream, I was starving and it just ruined everything. Aye.



  • When I boil my beans, I add bay leaf to the water. I think it helps.

    But I made a white bean, cabbage, bacon, chop tomato soup for dinner last night, no gas. My husband didn’t have gas…

    I didn’t do the bay leaf thing this time, so idk. I think beans just have hella fiber, and idk if your from the US or not, but I’ve read a few times over the years, many people here don’t get enough fiber day to day in the states.

    I think the gas has more to do with folks who don’t often eat high fiber foods. When you then, do, it gives you issues.

    You’re probably at least somewhat right, if you have beans often, they digest more easily. I had guessed it was because they have high fiber though. It also could have to do with eating under cooked beans, which is never a good idea.


  • I was on a work crew once when I was vegan. We cut trees and all rode to the locations in the same work van. One day we stopped for Ice Cream at a really popular place before calling it the day. Yay on the clock shenanigans, boo, it’s ice cream. They asked if I was cool with it, and of course I said I didnt mind, and just waited in the van.

    I almost cried when my supervisor brought me out a slushy. I didn’t know they had them. It was very kind of my supervisor. No one ever made fun of me, but it was definitely obvious to everyone in day to day talk/life I had the dietary restriction.

    It was also very surprising to me, how many chips use milk powder. I had a few kettle cooked salt and vinegar chips before reading the bag, and was shocked … Why? The pain.
