I get that people are wanting to protect agave so that bats can have food. What I don't get is why everyone blames just the vegans?? I dont know anyone who actually goes out and buys agave. The only place Ive even seen agave is at a panera like 5 years ago. They had a pump bottle of the sruff for their tea instead of normal sugar idk maybe go harass the huge restaurant chain

to get personal for a post - Anneliese posted this last month and I’m still thinking about it. It takes “the worst person you know just made a great point” to whole new levels because of all the people in the world to make me realize I was masking disordered eating it had to be her ?! high volume is pushed heavily in most sub-sects of dietary groups, i experienced it most in macro tracking and intermittent fasting communities and never thought twice. it’s something I still prioritize.
Of all the freakin’ people.

[peanut butter mocha latte]
i woke up this morning hating life, ffs. one of these and i felt like someone pushed a 'press to activate' button on my back. dishes got done. cooking and meal planning happened. i even had the energy to sing.
moral of the story: i really REALLY need stimulants to function. for me, they are Not Optional. and yes, i have to remind myself of this literally every morning during PMDD time.
equip yourself first:
a way to shake shit up. a glass jar with a tight-filling lid is my preferred method.
a way to heat shit up relatively quickly. the simpler the better, and you don't have all day. microwaves and stoves are fine; i own a hot water kettle and use the microwave for heating other liquids on days like this.
ingredients:
1 part espresso or cold brew concentrate.
1 part milk or alterna-milk of your choice. (i use full-fat oat milk... always trying to sneak in extra calories if i can.)
1 part filtered water.
a pinch of salt.
for every 60 ml (~2 fl. oz) strong coffee, add:
3-6 g (1-2 tsp) cocoa powder or raw cacao powder.
16 g (1 tbsp) natural peanut butter (i.e.: no sugar, no additional oils. nothing but roasted peanuts... and maybe salt. i use the unsalted kind).
additional fixins:
15 ml (1 tbsp) of MCT oil. your brain is mostly fat. feed it.
sweetener of your choosing, 5ml (1 tsp) to start. try honey, raw cane sugar, agave syrup...
how to make:
heat water and milk to the boil, separately. unless you don't care about foam. foam is life to me.
add coffee, hot milk, sweetener, peanut butter and cocoa/cacao powder to your jar and seal it tightly.
wrap towels or a tee shirt or something around it to keep your hands safe, and shake until everything is blended together. the exercise from this will help wake you up too.
pour water into your desired cup or mug, then the latte mix. stir a little to blend everything together.
enjoy.
i hope you feel a little better and more ready to start your day.

"a strict vegan diet of raw fruits and veggies" thats not a vegan diet. thats raw plant based eating. there is no such thing as strict veganism nor a vegan diet.
strict veganism isnt part of veganism. it would simply be strict plant based eating. i mean what even would be strict veganism? killing yourself if you accidentally step on an ant?
and there is no vegan diet because veganism isnt a diet, its a mindset and philosophy heavily based in facts. diet is part of veganism, but its a byproduct of said philosphy(?).
a vegan diet can look 100% plant based, or it can look omnivorous, because its about doing what you personally are able to do, which looks different for everyone. not everyone can go 100% plant based, which veganism recognizes.
