I practically live on beans, but not for ethical reasons or becouse they make me "feel fresh" i just like the taste alot. I mostly eat chicken when i eat meat becouse i think it tastes better than pork and its much cheaper than beef. I do live on a rather strict budget and i guess that ads into the fact that i eat alot of beans. I dont think ive ever eaten lentils though, but im thinking of adding it depending on the taste since it seem to have good nutritional values.0

Yes - I am vegan. I try to eat mainly whole food plant based, but have a very sweet tooth and love snacks so I’m trying to cut those out.
I feel physically and mentally much happier and healthier now than when I consumed animal products. I do think that dairy is worse for humans than meat though.5 -
Ive been noticing a HUGE different in my body, attitude & well-being from changing up my diet. I still consume meat, but mostly chicken never red meat. Eating more plant base is amazing. Check out the protein difference with beans/lentils to meat. You’ll start feeling fresh
Glad you found a way of eating that works for you. During my three years in vegetarian yoga retreat centers, I always felt something was missing (not in a psychological sense) during meatless meals. I met a lot of ethical vegans and applaud them. Alas, it is not for me.
I do like plant-based recipes as a base, and add meat. I'll soon be making Moosewood's Best Slit Pea Soup recipe, plus ham shanks (from Wellshire Farms, as I do care how animals are treated during their life.)
I use 2 C peas and 6 C water, halve the cooking time, and skip the add-ins in step 3: http://momwhoruns.com/best-ever-split-pea-soup/3 -
I don't eat many beans & lentils, but I eat even less meat (gave up over 20 years ago). I feel unfresh if I've eaten loads of sugar or high starch foods.0
