Can anyone suggest any protein rich breakfasts?
real-men-eat-plants:
Vegan ones of course!
Green smoothies! Put in soy or almond milk, the fruit of your choice, and tons of greens! If you’re not used to this, heads up -it may look gross. But it’ll taste like the fruit that’s in there. Asparagus is pretty good for protein, and if you use soy milk, that has a fair amount, too.

Elf cosmetics are donating some of their proceeds from sales to Target cancer research. They are funding animal testing for ovarian cancer.
Just thought I’d throw that out there.
Noooooooo! WHY?! Ugggh. They were my go-to brand. DDD :
I will cry a thousand tears tonight.

My dining hall made vegan pizza everyday this week. Im actually in heaven. Its made with Pita bread and AMAZINGGG vegan cheese.
Dude. All I can get my dining hall to make is badly-done Asian dishes - pretty much all stir-fries and curries. They can’t even be bothered to get decent hummus. -___- Totally jealous.

Okay so, this is sort of a rant, but not really.
I have to say that, usually, only one meal a day consists of meat, if even that. I do eat eggs for breakfast, sometimes, and I do occasionally have that turkey sandwich for lunch. Dinner is with the family, so I eat what they eat, because it’s not…

I want to go Vegan.
beatandbrokengoddess:
I think I will. I was a vegetarian for a short time after seeing the movie Food Inc. It scarred me for life. I want to go back to that. I don’t eat red meat..the only meat I eat is chicken cause my mom makes me.
This cannot be good with me and my eating disorder worse than ever..
I commend you on your decision to return to veganism! I’m assuming you live at home...

How do you vegans/vegetarians do it?

Considering Raw Veganism
As I sit in this bed feeling totally bloated, I can’t help but wonder, what the fuck am I doing with my health?! Seriously, I’ve got a Cola habit that won’t quit. The addiction is so bad that I drink it PAST the point of it making me ill on a regular basis.
That aside, I’m not a person of good health in general. I’ve had chronic pain for almost six years now (nearly...

People who use anorexia as an excuse to not be vegan make absolutely no sense to me. Do you think that you can only eat lettuce or something? Have all the Oreos. Have all the Gushers and Fruit Roll-Ups. Veganism can be just as calorie rich as being an omnivore.
A lot of eating-disordered individuals go vegan not for the animals or anything of the kind, but to hide their disorder....

Radical vegans.
blurred-speech:
No matter how hard you try to say different, a mental illness is TOTALLY a valid reason to not be vegan. If eating meat helps someone get past their eating disorder, are you really going to say they shouldn’t? What you are implying is that someone deserves to die if physically and mentally they must eat meat.
And since when are you the judge for who lives and dies? That’s right,...

Anonymous asked: Scientists have come to conclusions about pain in fetuses though. The pain receptors in the brain aren't fully developed until week 29. The brain wiring doesn't happen til about 23 weeks from memory. In my considerations I consider the suffering and pain; will the birth giver suffer from having a baby? Will it destroy an already sentient and alive being vs a cluster of cells that...

Unpopular Opinion Time: Veganism, Feminism, and...
The view I am about to express is one that has taken several years of fence-sitting to develop, and one that I don’t expect will be terribly popular amongst the people I most commonly identify with on Tumblr. Nevertheless, I pride myself on being courageous enough to be myself, and share what I feel, no matter how unpopular it might be, so here it goes.
Before I can even begin to consider...

Veganism/Vegetarianism
transhumanisticpanspermia:
Diet is heavily culturally influenced. Culture actually influences the types of foods your body finds appealing, and even digestable.
Veganism/vegetarianism is a culture.
Conclusion: eat what you want.

Gotcha, evangelistic vegans.

An Ice Cream Treat!
I normally don’t have much money for expensive things like this, but as I’m on spring break, I decided to treat myself to some So Delicious Coconut Milk Ice Cream - C=cookie dough style! It was ah-mazing. Better than the dairy-based ice cream I remember! : D
Om nom nom.
Just another reason that being vegan is amazing. :)

Calling vegan pet owners!
snufkinseeks:
What do you feed your dogs and cats? How does it fit with your beliefs?
I’m also vegan so this isn’t an attack.
Dogs can eat vegan, but cats are biologically omnivorous, so you have to feed them some meat.
