    OK, I have a legitimate question. I am hosting a brunch for about 8 people this coming Sunday. One of them is a vegan. What can I make that will be kind of "brunch-ish" food and still meet her dietary needs?

    Tofu scramble, Bagels/Toast/English Muffins with jam (and maybe vegan butter), hash browns, waffles, baked cinnamon apple oatmeal, cornbread...

    It’s true, but sometimes they’ll just take away your faux leather boots instead and sentence you to 100 days of watching Hell’s Kitchen on replay.

    Next question:

    If I change my lifestyle to be vegan do you think I’ll lose my virginity?

    Oh totally. Vegans have a different smell that attracts women. We smell like a flower garden in Hawaii and a bunch of fruit trees.

    They gave Jesus a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate it in their presence. Luke 24:42-43

    Even Jesus wasn't a Vegan :wink:

    Have you had any success using Aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) as an egg substitute when baking?

    What's your favorite vegan joke? (I'm particularly fond of seitan-worshipper ones, myself!)

    Cats can’t be vegan. But a more substainable approach to eating other creatures would be looking under rocks and having the lion eat bugs. And teach him how to sing Hakuna Matata

    I haven’t tried it, but I’ve heard it works like magic!

    :) I actually have a B12 spray that taste like berries. I would try kombucha, but anything fermented I don’t like.

    Many vegans are fond of the field roast brand of vegan sausages. There's others too, but the ones i've had weren't as good to me.

    What made you decide to become a Vegan ?

    Well, I went Pescatarian in 2014, the day after Thanksgiving, because my older sister was one and I never really like meat (oh my gosh, i HATED chicken and turkey. So gross). Then, I went vegetarian a few months later because the only seafood I ate was tuna fish or smoked salmon, and I heard how too much tuna could cause mercury poisoning (I was eating 2-3 cans a day!). Then, I wanted to lose weight and I didn’t think I could if I still consumed dairy (cheese, cream cheese, and icecream, basically, because I didn’t like milk), so I gave up milk but still ate eggs (we had/have chickens for eggs). My dad told me I needed to stop eating so many eggs, because I was eating 6 a day and that’s a ton of cholesterol, so I stopped eating eggs. Honey was the last thing I gave up, because I didn’t know it wasn’t Vegan. I was eating almond butter mixed with honey or honey in my tea for a few weeks before reading about bees and honey. So, yeah, I guess long-story-short, I went Vegan because I wanted to lose weight, be healthy, and thought “why not? I don’t even like meat or milk.” Oh and the whole ethical and environmental aspect of it. But what really made me go vegan was the idea that I would poop more and they wouldn’t stink. Mind you, but I think poop will smell disgusting whether or not one eats pineapples or bison burgers...

    How have you found your digestive system is working if you know what I mean ? This is something I would wonder about before switching to a diet of nuts n seeds, lots of veg etc.

    Is it just the same as before? Is it better ?

    I poop 2-5 times a day depending on what I eat. I still get bloated (even after 3 years) but only once week really. Again, it depends on what I eat or how much I eat.
    I do remember the first two weeks of going high raw vegan when I was eating lots of fruit and vegetables, I would burp a ton, fart a ton, my face broke out, and i got hot flashes, but then it all went away after that. My body was like “why are you being healthy?!! STOP IT!”

    My best friend, who also happens to be a high raw vegan, drinks this kombucha that taste like cherry cola. I never liked soda, but I asked for a sip and it really did taste like cherry cola! So bizarre.
