there is soo much amazing vegan artisan cheese out there like....
yes, most of them are not very widely available and still quite expensive (though its getting better) but it absolutely exists. and if they were to receive a fraction of the funding that the dairy industry gets, i'm sure they could expand more quickly!!
the idea that you can only make good cheese with mothers milk is just wrong, humans have been making plant based cheese for centuries!

my new headcanon is that rudy gets diagnosed with celiac disease when he's 12 or 13 (one of his many many health issues and allergies) and when he tells louise that he's sad he cant eat at bob's burgers anymore bcuz the buns have gluten in them bob makes a special order for gluten free buns and stores them seperately so that rudy can always enjoy his burgers :) <- and anyone else who is gluten intolerant there's like a special sign that says "ask about our gluten free options!!"

Kids, man, we used to be in awe of animals. They used to make us laugh and giggle and smile. They made us pretty happy. There was a time in our lives when we would do just about anything in the world to make them happy as well. To protect them from cruelty. To, at least, acknowledge the cruelty that they were receiving. If somebody was mean to us in front of an animal when we were little, we would have screamed and cried. And that's because we all used to understand right from wrong when it came to the treatment of animals, until somebody told us and taught us differently. You better believe someone told us to ignore their suffering. To mock and excuse their pain and their misery. To make fun of their very existence.

Hello nutrition focused friends.
I wanted to take time to post an update since I've been absent from this platform for far too long. I let life discourage me from what I love but I want to spend the next few weeks getting back into the nutritional swing of things; especially as holiday time approaches.
I'd love your feedback, but I think I'm going to continue diving into plant based holiday themed meals as well as grab and go foods. It has been my ultimate frustration in life trying to grab a quick bite from a grocery store (or anywhere really) only to find a sad peanut butter and jelly sandwich or an overpriced veggie sandwich as my options if I'm lucky. Seriously friends, have you seen the veggie sandwich offered at Whole Foods? It's $6.99 for a few thin slices of cucumber, tomato, lettuce and some sort of spread of on floppy wheat bread. Don't even get me started on their big salads. $16.99 for a big bowl of lettuce with a few sad toppings. In a world full of revolutionary plant based products, I feel like the grab and go crowd should have a few more options. Even Costco brings the disappointment as their grab and go prepped foods are almost entirely meat and dairy based. Sure, Costco had a quinoa salad for a while, but that's not a very exciting entree for a plant based person now is it? I will say, They do have a Mediterranean salad that's pretty decent though in size and price. Though I wish stores would figure out we can't live on salad alone. I would really love to see more ready to eat meals that aren't just over priced frozen entrees. Many of us spend all day running from responsibility to responsibility, it'd be nice to have some satisfying, nutritionally dense, options.
What frustrates you when trying to find grab and go foods for your busy plant based life? Are you dreading the holidays because your dietary choices aren't always respected or accommodated? Or maybe you just need some inspiration on what to make this year. Let's explore our options this season.

Liv what did you struggle most with when you went vegan? I’m trying to cut out meat but I’m having a bad time 😭
ohhhh good question! i think i had an easier time than most ppl because i had a lot of aversions to meat and eggs unless they were prepared in v specific ways, and i don't like cheese and was pretty sure dairy was making me break out so i was already drinking non-dairy milk at home.
all of which is to say it wasn't a huge struggle for me to just make the few changes to transition to plant based!! i think the hardest part was avoiding the animals products hiding IN other things. ;ike pastries with butter! or eggs in cake! or modified milk ingredients in LITERALLY EVERYTHING. those little things were what gave me the hardest time, but now i just know what I can and can't have and don't really think about it very much—i promise it gets easier!!
