Question What to eat when I hate all the foods?

[ElenaLove]

If you have any advice for me please...
I have been a vegetarian 10 years, vegan 3 years and I hate taste of almost all the foods (not just vegan but any food and drinks, I do supplement though).
I cant get over the fact that even vegan food is poisonus, full of chemicals and with fake ingredients, plus they use animal manure and their remains to grow vegs and plants, I hate it. I dont trust those vegan organic brands much either, everything seems like a scam if you research it. I live in a city on a below minimum wage and cant grow my own food. Please help, recommend some food that will keep me full during the day so I dont have to eat much and think about it all. TY

Just didn't feel right, like it was designed to provoke....

I did a bit of googling about Glyphosate, AKA Roundup. I don't remember everything I found, but evidently neither the EPA nor the FDA consider this herbicide to be a problem so long as it's used as recommended:

Questions and Answers on Glyphosate

Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide that can kill certain weeds and grasses.

Edited to add: I forgot to mention that animals can suffer illness if they eat or touch plants that have been freshly-sprayed with the stuff.

I am not a conspiracy nut. But I don't have a lot of trust in the FDA, USDA, and EPA NOT being influenced by the big chemical companies.

for example, " While the EPA has stated that glyphosate is unlikely to cause cancer and other negative health effects in humans, some studies dispute that. With the variety of contradictory information available, it’s a good idea to be aware of the potential links between glyphosate and health issues and take steps to limit your exposure."

That crossed my mind too. Maybe this board should go back to allowing only registered members to post? I've been on message boards that weren't so selective about who could post, and this one was a refreshing change.

I think we can deal with the occasional thread like this.

But yes, the « Vegan foods are fake and full of unhealthy chemicals » is a beloved anti-vegan trope.
