It's sort of an "it is what it is" situation I guess. I did tell her when I came over to the vegan side that I was gonna probably cook less meat for her or at least be more hands off about it. Last time we did burgers, she did most of it but the serving so it's progress I guess? I'd rather her and the kids just join me in the no animal thing because it'd be easier for everyone and cheaper but I also don't belief in forcing beliefs on to others. I'd like them to come over of their own accord. I do sprinkle in a bit of vegan commentary here and there, so like my oldest does know that I choose not to support killing animals, for example.

We have a camping trip coming up for scouts and I'm not even gonna bother with trying to figure out how to eat what they are providing so day before I'm gonna grab a bunch of protein bars and trail mix lol. I've been on a vegan protein bar kick for some reason, partially because it's easier than trying to find fast food that is vegan.

We live in "Steak Country" Texas so it's pretty abysmal here too but we have 2 Indian places that can do vegan, a trustworthy Thai place that has a tofu dish that I crave, but also we have a hipster gastro type place and probably 40% of their menu is vegan. They even offer vegan specials. We have a food truck turned brick and mortar that does Tex-Mex fusion stuff and the owner has a vegan menu that is virtually the whole non-vegan menu with vegan substitutes. But what is amazing is that we have a full on vegan food truck here that is ran my a pair of sisters that work with Food Not Bombs and all sorts of leftist and mutual aid stuff. I'm pretty much convinced at this point that they are anarchists lol. Like if you are ever in my neck of the woods, I got the hook up on vegan cuisine, rofl.
