I do not want to go through that process anymore to save myself from trouble. Not every person in the restaurant will be able to satisfy my questions anyway so why bother? In that regard, I would rather prepare my own food at home.

What is the taste like? I understand the reason why they would grow meat from the lab but I can not imagine how the process will be like. Just the thought of it creates more questions in my mind and having said that I will not eat anything that was processed or grown in a lab.

I am not sure what other ingredients are there in a veggie burger that was bought from a store. To be safe and sure I would choose to prepare my own veggie burger. That way I am aware what went in to my burger and I can adjust the taste to my own liking.

I can not digest lactose in great amount so I tend to stay away from it. I am worried about my body's need of calcium. Aside from milk what other sources of calcium can you recommend? Do you go for those food that are fortified with calcium or do you prefer to get it naturally?

Agave is highly processed so that you can use it in your food. If that does not worry you much then I think you can go for it. But be wary though if you are watching your calorie intake because agave has a higher calorie content compared to the usual refined sugar. Given the chance, I would...

I have a small garden in my home. Right now I am growing a couple of vegetables using pots and some hanging planters. It has become a favorite activity for me and my friends taking care of the garden. We gather around it after and then catch up and most specially we exchange good practices as we...

I experiment with some recipes sometimes I love it because it gives me freedom to be flexible. I can be strict with the recipe and sometimes tweak them a bit when I can not find the right ingredients. That is how we learn in the kitchen by trial and error until we perfect it. I just enjoy the...

I think having to explain to others why I made the switch is the hardest part. Not everyone will understand or appreciate your decision and one question will just lead to the next. There are just some people who will try to maybe convince you that you made a wrong decision. Finding a place...

I did not suggest nor imply that I want a vegetable to taste like meat I just mentioned my experience and asked the members if they have the same story. I am still in transition and this is not easy for me. For sure you had been in the same situation. If I have placed this topic under the wrong...

I do not have those unnecessary cravings anymore. I feel light and I think the food I eat provides me just the right calorie and nutrients to keep me going and healthy. Although I must say that it is too early to tell because I am still in the process of transitioning.

It has always been an issue with my family who loves to eat meat but for the person I was dating then it was more of a positive experience. Since most of the people I know eat meat and are aware of the effects of it on the body, they appreciate my choice more. Because of me they get to eat...

I have seen and tried some food that tastes like meat but they are vegetables in reality. I am not certain how they process the vegetables to taste like meat and I have no idea what ingredients went in the recipe but I was just curious to try. Do you have the same experience and how was it?

Honestly I thought gelatine is derived solely from seaweeds and yes they call them agar. I was not bothered by gelatine and I was confident enough and did not bother about reading the labels. But I am thankful I read about it here and some posts say it is an animal byproduct. I really did not...

It is not easy making a commitment to being a vegan or vegetarian. There are some people who are losing their focus and are having struggles transitioning into their new lifestyle or diet. Do you have some inspiring personal stories and can you let us know how long it took you and how was it...

I want to ask the members of this group especially those who are committed to living a vegan or vegetarian life. What is your idea on raw food as part of your daily diet? Will it matter if your food is cooked or raw?

I am still in transition. It is quite a challenge for me because the people I live with do not follow a certain type of diet. My decision was based mostly on health issues. Like my family I was never particular with what I eat as long as the food tastes good. We eat almost anything from...

I always look for a virgin coconut oil that uses the "cold pressed" technique. With this process of manufacturing, you are certain that your oil has not undergone bleaching nor was subjected to high heat.

I have lived in a small appartment before and was able to put up my own small garden. They call them the vertical gardens because you will be using your walls most of the time. It was quite a challenge at first that is why I started with a few pots. Nothing beats the feeling of having achieved...
