What’s the most important thing or change you’ve learned/made in the past 5 years.

For me it has to be that vegetarian based meals are not inferior to meat based dishes. I find myself preparing and trying so many interesting and great dishes that I would’ve never considered 10 years ago.

How about you?

    It was not the most important thing for me, but I agree: 15-20 years ago, veg options (and sugarless too btw) sucked. You really had to be committed to the cause to endure them.

    We’re not vegetarians, but my daughter has allergy to eggs and milk. We buy cakes, pies, brownies, cookies, etc from a vegan bakery that honestly are delicious - better than most non-vegan equivalents. We all end up eating them, although only she actually “needs” them.

    If vegan activists worked more towards kindly creating and showing the world vegan options that are as good as/better than their animal counterparts, it would help their cause MUCH more than pestering people, destroying property and making everyone hate them.

      My now 19 yo has a host of food allergies as well. It’s amazing how much better the non-egg/milk/gluten options are and how easy(ish) they are to find

      10 years ago we were bulk ordering crackers from the US (we’re in Canada) because finding the ones we liked here was akin to winning the lottery. Now, two local grocery stores carry them

      Eating out is still a challenge, but it’s getting better

        A consequence of modern food. It doesn’t even have a decent level of vitamins anymore.
