I just made this. It’s mexican rice with black beans, chopped avocado, tomatoes and cilantro. I later added some Taco Bell mild hot sauce to it. It was very good

Today I went to a vegan soul food restaurant in Grand Prairie, less than 15 minutes from my house. Didn’t even have to get on the highway. I had a “chicken” sandwich with yams and loaded fries. Everything was sooo good. I was skeptical about how the yams would taste but it was very good. The pic with the loaded fries didn’t come out right side up.

I went back to the soul food restaurant Friday and had a burger. I had it with double meat and double cheese. I chose mash potatoes as a side. Very good

I made some spaghetti with vegan sausage and follow your heart vegan Parmesan cheese the other night...

Loving the vegan food pictures... I'm also loving the recipes

 

Spiritually I personally would avoid the 2 Facebook groups posted as some in the first one  there aren't actually Witnesses, and in the other one the admin was actually asking viewpoints regarding philosophy... When another brother spoke up stating that's not a good idea(regarding the philosophy) he was told that philosophy is not a bad thing. I left after seeing that conversation.. So for one's own spiritual health I would avoid these groups. .😷😓😁😧😧😧😧sorry I'm having a minor issue with the emojis can't delete the ones I didn't want.

Also... regarding the animals humans mostly eat- domestic animals- we ARE at peace with them. Cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens- they hang around humans all the time, peacefully. 

 

There is no real reason for domestic animals if not to eat them. Makes me wonder why Abel was raising them in the first place... 🤔

With a herd of sheep there would be no need for a lawn mower. 😎

I stopped by Burger King and had another impossible whopper. It wasn’t cooked to death like the first one I had. It was just right

I’m going to a veggie fair/ fegan festival in Dallas TX this Saturday. Right in my backyard. I’ll try more vegan food from the vendors there. I can’t wait 🙂

I recently watched a documentary on Netflix called Game Changers. Very interesting. They interviewed several professional athletes from various disciplines who have adopted vegan dietary habits. They also follow the science. Some persons interviewed: Arnold Swartzeneggar , the Guinness book record holder for the greatest weight ever lifted , the current record holder for running the Appalachian trail, and about sixteen players for the Tennessee Titans football team. And several others.  It’s worth a watch : 

            Warning : some language and one mildly embarrassing section on men’s reproductive health.              Reference to recipes.

I watched it too, and made my husband watch the “special” part! 😁 They have a website as well with a lot more recipes and other helpful information. The ones I have tried are very good!

[Buttrfly71]

So, I finally tried the Impossible Burger at Burger King. It was a bit dry, but tasty. Overall, I gave it a 7. My husband tried a piece of it as well, plain, as I just broke off a piece of mine without the bun, toppings, etc. We both agreed the commercials are way over the top (as they should be). Great for a once in while treat, but since it is very highly processed, shouldn’t be part of an every day healthy eating plan, IMO.

I met up with my sister at the vegan fair today in Dallas. There were many thousands of people there. Tried food from some vendors. Here’s some food me and my sister bought. We had Mexican tacos, chili & cheese frito, pie soul food dinner plate, Chicago cheesesteak and a fried cheesecake

Everything was good except for the “Chicago” cheesesteak. It wasn’t nasty but it wasn’t all that flavorful either.

Picked up another vegan pizza

I had this vegan impossible burger at a place in Dallas called Sankofa Kitchen last week. It was very good. Sorry but the close up picture came out blurry.

I went back to Sankofa Kitchen last Friday and had a burrito with chips and salsa. Pretty good

I looked into the company “ Beyond Beef” that makes the Impossiburger possible. They really have done a remarkable job of formulating a very believable and acceptable product. They even are able to do so at a fraction of the land and water resource utilization of production for beef.

Yeah they did do a good job. There’s people who have been vegan for 30, 40 or 50 years before they had all these vegan meat options to choose from. That must have been tough!

[Cushi]

Here’s a burrito I had from Chipotle the other day. I had their sofritas, which is shredded spicy tofu with black beans. Brown rice, corn, lettuce and pico  de gallo

Will the new Vegan Be entirely artificial protein based??

I,d ask if over produced plant materials is dangerous to health, and GMO plant materials.....

I’d say that was a reasonable question. In fact I’ve asked it.  Assuming the honesty of the reports and depending upon the food produced: almonds for almond milk or palm trees for oil. Or soy for the Impossiburger. The answers would be different. The Impossiburger uses much less in land and water resources to produce than the same amount of beef. ( Bravo!) but Almond milk has a significant water impact.( because almonds must be grown over time in a climate ( California) that is naturally dry . If the almonds were grown elsewhere it would be better but then the cost of shipping and petroleum used would be an issue. So it’s not an easy answer for any of it.    Apart from Jehovah’s answer.
