I used to have a cholesterol reading of 6.2 - not coincidentally due to having a shit diet, with loads of saturated fats and fuck all exercise once I stopped playing football. Oddly enough, it came down once I started eating more vegetables and lily fish, less red meat and fried foods and did some exercise...AddickUpNorth said:Last time I had a cholesterol check my GP was very happy with my score of 3.6. I haven’t eaten ‘food with a face’ for twenty four years.
For the record my choice not to consume animal products was not because it was ‘trendy’ or a fad, it was because I could no longer consume the body parts or secretions of animals with a clear conscience. I’m happy to eat a balanced diet of vegetables, fruits, beans, legumes, grains and the occasional bit of faux meat and am perfectly healthy with it.
We're in the territory of 'anecdotal evidence' again here...0 -

Well, I’ve given an anecdote about my personal evidence so I guess we are Leroy.0 -
TBH I think it's like giving up sugar in tea/coffee. Once you get used to it and then have sugar by mistake it tastes awful. I use unsweetened almond milk in tea. Someone put semi skimmed 'normal' milk in by mistake and it tasted really odd.Rob7Lee said:
I must have spent about £100 the last two months on every type of milk replacement you can get, just doesn’t work in tea, sadly.Leroy Ambrose said:I've never found an alternative to milk that works well in tea or coffee or porridge - they're all varying degrees of vile. I just don't think they 'work' when heated up.
On cereal I like unsweetened almond milk - it's nicer than cow's milk.

So this week I found almond milk was acceptable with my porridge, not quite as nice as with cows milk but I could certainly live with it.
Adding it to coffee was without doubt one of the lost disgusting things I’ve ever tasted.Oat milk next week1 -

I used to put unsweetened almond milk in coffee but because of the heat of the water found it split. Apparently it’s better if you warm the milk first but that’s too much faff. Now I just drink my coffee black.3 -

73 Cows is an interesting film. It tells the story of ex beef farmer, Jay Wilde and his wife Katja, who turned their backs on the cattle industry and re-invented themselves as organic vegan farmers.

I highly recommend the Avantgardevegan YouTube channel for ideas. There are so many others as well so if you want to know more let me know. 4 -
Really is a good film. The interview that Joey Carbstrong did with Jay on his YouTube channel is also worth a watch.Anna_Kissed said:73 Cows is an interesting film.

As a card carrying omnivore, may I be the first to congratulate you on posting the most irrelevant, stupidest reply on this thread. And - considering the utter dreck that a few people early in came out with, that is high praise indeed.SamB09 said:Do vegans watch nature documentaries?

I think I know where SamBO9 was going with that question. Just waiting for his/her response to confirm.0 -
Me too. And it's as utterly dense as the imbecile earlier in the thread who said they tried to make their cat a vegetarian....2

I think it’s alright mate. My missus got me into it. I have no issue with it in coffee or on cerealAFKABartram said:So this week I found almond milk was acceptable with my porridge, not quite as nice as with cows milk but I could certainly live with it.

Congrats, though, on falling straight back on to the 'snowflake' school of responses. Especially since - as I said - I'm not a vegan, or even a vegetarian.2 -
I found oatley to be ok for a latte although didn’t stick with it as I only have one a week or so and drink most of my coffee black.1

This Ted talk has definitely made me think a bit more positively about veganism, especially the following points
1) An animals life is taken away so you can have a meal that lasts 10-20 minutes and you don't really think about it much after so was it really worth it - very thought provoking
2) Animals often eat other animals alive which must cause awful suffering - But the predator literally knows no other way of survival and thats the difference with humans, again it is thought provoking
Having thought some more i'm starting to think that low quality meat products are very wasteful. For example, sausage rolls, processed ham, cocktail sausages, chicken nuggets ect ect. An animal died for that crap stuff, it does feel wrong.

Worth trying Mylk, it’s a blend of a number of plant based mills abs I find it virtually indistinguishable from cows milk. Our Sainsbury’s (Greenwich peninsula) stopped stocking it for a while but is now stocking it again.cabbles said:

personally use it on cereal and for hot chocolate.0 -
It makes me so fkn angry seeing them pigs lowered and struggle in fear. Like actually breaks my heart, I try and not be a preachy vegan but when I see shit like that and people try and make remarks to me I do start to get worked up a bit. I cried so much watching earthlings. I just don't get how people can harm something completely innocent and sentientAddickUpNorth said:https://youtu.be/xcUNse0nhZ0

Anyway even though that vid is a debunk it's mental that there are still people out there who think you need to eat meat to be stronger. Vegan now since 2017, I am just about three times stronger, down 3 stone and look like a completely different person. Not that it's just cause I'm vegan, had a lifestyle change but the point is I can sway it that way to push my agenda which is exactly what meat eaters do.
Stop f*****g eating animals please
