An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

"Plant based foods"? Fruits, vegetables, oils, nuts, grains? That's most foods.
Just make your own food people.
Most people are used to include meats in their recipes so having exactly what they want but vegan is extremely useful. We need more vegan foods shaped like what people are looking for. I would love to see a seitan chicken breast next to the dead bird one because it shows people it exists and it works in what they are making and it's good!
This is how my family is. I ate meat for every meal for every day of my life for damn near 30 years before I switched to vegetarian. The thought of eating meat makes me sick to my stomach after a few years as a vegetarian but sometimes I just feel like a breaded chicken patty and the plant based option scratches that itch.
