[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know, I'm a vegan. My kids are vegetarians, but eat a lot of vegan meals. We don't care what other people do or eat, but we don't buy meat, so if someone wants a steak, they aren't getting it here for dinner.

We eat a lot of different kinds of foods. One big thing is that we eat tons of Asian, Indian, West African, and tex-mex meals. I think cooking requires looking beyond meat, start, veg, fruit meal planning. I cook lentils, quinoa, beans, tempeh, seitan (I make amazing seitan wings inspired by City o City in Denver that even my meat eating friends requests). I like cooking and for me being a vegan requires some creativity, but it can be a great thing.

I don't like the meat industry and like a PP has issues with dairy. So, it was a combination of social and health concerns that led me here. But I'm happy, I make food that I think is yummy, and I don't begrudge anyone else's choice.

What's weird about this time in our world is that there is this sort of zero-sum view of life choices and a view that if someone isn't doing what you're doing, it's wrong. I don't think this is the case, but I see that in so many different contexts. Politics. Religion. Sex and sexuality. Racism. I wish we'd just spend more time focusing on our own happiness and less time caring about what people do.[/quote]

+1.
