The Vegan Thread

I don't understand your wit. Can you elaborate?

Sounds good. Don’t have a car sorry

We are renting one. And a trailer :) Big pig.

All the time. But not about the mistreatment of animals.

Poor

Jokes have to be funny yaknow. Sorry you're a shit comedian

.

Yeh not funny.

If you want some advice then shoot some questions this thread is really useful.

You made a ‘joke’ about animal abuse in the vegan thread. What did you expect? 😂😂

.

Look you can make up for it by driving 5 abused pigs to an animal sanctuary in Kent if you like? Deal?

You wouldn't walk into a party of Arsenal supporters wearing Spurs kit, would you?

"Just a joke, lads, look, I'm sorry, all right?"

I don't think people are offended, they're just not amused by your (if we're honest) unoriginal joke and probably don't have much patience left for jokes like that. If random strangers walked up to you every day and all made the exact same joke you would get fed up of it too.

Go and look at any article about veganism, scroll down to the comments and see how long it takes you to find a "joke" about bacon.

For you it's just one little joke but for the rest of us it's the same stuff we hear every day. Try to see it from the other perspective.

Odd anecdote.

I'm currently having a bit of a vegan/not-so-vegan crisis.

I've pretty much killed off all meat and dairy from my diet since I started living with my girlfriend, she has been vegan for a long time now and I was happy to try and make the change.

The problem: Since the switchover I am never not hungry, always craving more, which leads to me eating an excessive amount of carbs/junk and feel bloated constantly.

Along with this, I am lacking energy on the bike, to the point I can't be bothered riding, as I anticipate it's going to suck.

Do people recommend a protein supplement? Could this be why I'm hungry all the time!?

.

Animals get their protein from somewhere and cows don’t eat meat :)
People get very sensitive here about meat substitutes I’ve found. But they’re usually good for protein and some are pretty tasty. Linda McCartney etc.
On the supplement front, I started on Huel shakes which aren’t solely protein but are nutritionally complete so you can have as a healthy snack or instead of a whole meal.

Ok, how can we help your friends kid? What ideas would you like? I’ve learnt loads of tasty things from folk here.

Went through this, eating what seemed liked loads more (wanting double-helpings since going full vegan (from vege) just over a year back. Pretty much was hungry / hangry most of the time. Also coincided with a full-on return to commuting at the same time (now at 46 miles a day during the week) and a return to the booze (off for nearly 10 years), so guess there's a double (trouble, triple?) complication there. Shit, don't know. Can't give you any advice. Just can't stand animal suffering. Crisps and beer are my friends now so am not in a position to give you anything more useful.
