A couple of people have spoken to me before about wanting to cut back on, or completely cut meat from their diets, but didn’t know where to start. If anyone reading this feels the same way, here’s some fairly basic recipies that I usually recommend (Bosh’s tofu curry is straight up one of the best currys i’ve ever had - even my non-vegan family members love it)

Tofu is also super versatile and is pretty climate-friendly. there’s a bazillion different ways to do tofu, but simply seasoning and pan frying some extra/super firm tofu (like you do with chicken) with some peppers and onions, for fajitas, is an easy way to introduce yourself. Here’s a little guide for tofu newbies: A Guide to Cooking Tofu for Beginners - The Kitchn. If you wanna level up your tofu game with some marinades here’s six.
Lentils and beans are also super planet friendly, super cheap, and super versatile! You’ll be able to find recipies all over that are based around lentils and beans so feel free to do a quick internet search.
Sorry for the huge, intimidating wall of text! I do hope someone interested in cutting back on meat found this useful though :)

Damn, that sucks.

Edgy, bro.
Vegans create more than four times the noise pollution doe.
Oh no, people are vocal about stopping animal abuse and climate change, how terrible!
Fully support stopping animal abuse and slowing climate change. Zero support for vegans and their tactics. Being from PDX, the land of angry aggressive vegans. They aren’t getting anyone on their side with those attitudes.
Calm rational argument: *Ignores it.*
Loud annoying spectacle: Why didn’t these noisy veg*ns try a calm rational argument?!?!
Reading OPs other comments, my comment fits perfectly.
Vegan bullies are not helping the agenda
Who have I bullied?
I’m a vegan who isn’t from Portland International Airport(???) and I probably don’t share their tactics.
Condemning every vegan for something a few people do is silly.
Oh, you are that is why I commented. Your last statement is exactly what they do. All meat eaters BAD unless they follow my diet. That doesn’t help to get folks on your side.
No those things are not equal.
Not every vegan acts like that but every meat eater… eats meat.
Vegans aren’t against it for dietary reasons, we are against it because it’s needless animal cruelty.
Reading your other comments, you are the angry vegan.
Bullying people to follow your values is not a win.
Could you try countering the arguments instead of resorting to personal attacks?
Can you point out how I’ve bullied anyone in this thread?
Eating meat is bad, but this won’t be solved by individual action. Putting a cost on every ton of beef, plastic, and carbon created would create market conditions that would reduce the production of these things and hence the consumption
But if you know it’s a problem then you can change right now instead of waiting for regulation to force it on you.
We can make change for the better in our own lifestyle while advocating for change.
Who cares how much meat I eat when there’s a billion cars, 2 billion factories and 1000 greedy billionaires burning the world to the ground?
Can anyone explain to me why being vegan is the new cool, while being vegetarian is equal to eating meat without eating meat? Like, when I’m looking for vegetarian recipes, I only see vegan recipes, no vegetarian ones anywhere.
In my country, supermarkets aren’t allowed to sell eggs from caged hens. Only eggs from hens raised outdoors. There are four categories of eggs marked with numbers:
- 0: eggs from caged hens, not sold anywhere legally.
- 1: eggs from uncaged hens but raised indoors, very difficult to find.
- 2: eggs from uncaged hens and raised outdoors, easy to find.
- 3: eggs from uncaged hens, raised outdoors and feed with natural food, without pesticides and shit, easy to find.
By the way, US is neither the center of the world nor the only country in the world. Sorry to say that, but I think it’s necessary to say it.
The cruel practices are standard all over the world, not just the US.
Exploiting animals for profit is never gonna be humane.
You don’t need to cut meat out of your diet to make an impact!
Cut your meat intake down to just ONE meal a day. That’s it! If everyone did that, it would make an absolutely tremendous impact.
Start noticing how often you eat meat. Many people eat meat for literally every single meal and don’t even realize it, it’s so ubiquitous in most societies.
But also, give cutting it out totally a try, it’s probably not as hard as you imagine
The vegan agenda shows when they crumple everything animal under “meat” and everything vegetable under “vegan”, when there are some vegan foods that have higher cost to the environment to be produced than some animal products, when comparing nutrition to nutrition values.
Vegan agenda?
Veganism is first and foremost a movement to avoid harming non-human animals, the environmental benefits are a huge bonus really.
Overall plant based is clearly best, here’s the data.

There sure is a lot of effort being made to obscure the fact that most greenhouse gasses come from industrial sources.
