I was hungry asf.
But damn, got some white rice, beef, and some veggies (cucumber and radish) all with that signature sauce that Vietnamese restaurants usually have (I’m not sure what it’s called).
And by the Vietnamese gods, it was amazing.
Just like eating it at the restaurant itself; still nice and warm (but then again, the restaurant was nearby my area).
Came in a white plastic container or whatever material you call it.
Oh God, I look back fondly on that meal I had almost an hour ago today.
I was soooooooooooo hungry too and now I’m not.
How is it that you can feel horrible when you’re hungry (physically and emotionally) and then feel content and all is right with the world after having eaten?
Dunno… Just don’t know…
Anyway, how you all doing? And what did you all eat today (so far)?
Vegetarian = no meat, but usually other animal products like dairy, eggs, honey etc
Vegan = no animal products. Animals are friends, not things to be exploited.
A lot of vegetarians use vegetarianism as a compromise thinking “at least I’m not eating animals”, without realizing that the dairy, egg, and honey industries involve killing a ton of animals too.
Thing is, I’m Turkish so honey comes naturally to me.
I should give that up too, but that’s going to be the hardest.
I might be a bit clueless on this but why cut out honey? Is it really that exploitative for the bees?
>Honey is created when bees suck the nectar out of a flower, regurgitate it, and process it with other bees back at the hive. In their natural states, they use this honey as a food source during winter. But on honey farms, beekeepers take that honey and replace it with a cheap sugar substitute—one that’s insufficient to meet honeybees’ nutritional needs. As a result, honeybees die of over-exhaustion attempting to reproduce the honey that they require; others die of starvation or malnutrition, while others develop weakened immune systems and contract diseases.
Apparently so, and in more ways than not?
