Welcome to the Vegan Theory Club Weekly Megathread!
Question of the week:
"Tell me about a discussion you've had with the intent of guiding someone towards veganism? How did it go? What could you have done differently?
Feel free to talk about anything, whether it’s vegan-related or not. This is a chill space for connecting, sharing ideas, and supporting each other.
Looking forward to hearing what everyone’s up to!
Firstly, I love your username!
You and I have a very similar approach. I know my 'extreme' views are off putting. But I make good food that aligns with my views. If people can see how easy (inexpensive and healthy) it is, maybe they will take off the meat goggles, lol.
Thanks! It was inspired by this recipe that i had wanted to share around the time i made my acct lol.
But exactly! Last year our friend group went on vacation and everyone was happy to let us cook vegan food for all our meals. It averaged less than $4 per person, per meal compared to the area would've been 5x that to eat out. The friends were genuinely shocked when i told them how little it was for a week. We cheated a little bit by bringing pre-portioned spices for the recipes but bought everything else fresh. Most of the dinner recipes were also just slow cooker meals. We made a simple breakfast, packed a lunch, and threw something in a slow cooker while we went out to explore. Really showed everyone how making healthy food doesn't have to be expensive or take a long time
