I used to be uninterested in foods like broccoli, apples, oranges, and blueberries, but after a transition period I love them and have them every day. I’d like to hear anyone’s story who’s also been able to integrate more of these foods.

You’ve got this! There are a ton of benefits to going plant-based. Dominion is a great documentary to show how most (~90%) are treated, which emphasizes the importance for us to shift away (it doesn’t sound like the way you did it was as bad as this, but this is the info that made me swap away recently).

I’m vegan btw. The meme is making fun of people who eat for taste pleasure and not any other type :)

Note that an estimated 90% of global farm animals are factory farmed, and are fed monocrops like corn and soy that humans can eat. It’s about 10 times more efficient to eat the plants directly than the animals due to Trophic Levels, so if you’re worried about plants feeling pain you’d reduce their pain by eating them directly instead of their inefficient middlemen.

Hello!

Well said!

Hell yeah!!!

Love this!!

This short video shows a beautiful, fluffy cow being very lowing with her human! I don’t want to see these animals harmed so I’m not going to eat cattle.

Thank you! It’s been fun so far! :)

I’m up to 70g of natural fiber a day! I’m plant-based though so it’s easy for me when most of my foods are whole plant foods.

Hey! I made this content and was made aware of Lemmy by a friend two days ago. I decided to join and wanted to enter with a bang by sharing some of my OC.

Hi! This documentary touches on personal as well as systematic change, so it’s not blaming the ordinary person. It also focuses on the other areas of sustainability, such as deforestation, land use, fresh water use, biodiversity loss, and ocean dead zones. It acknowledges it’s far behind burning fossil fuels for emissions.

Definitely give it a watch!

Good call! :)

Thank you!

Eating Our Way to Extinction takes us on an adventure to multiple different countries, exploring the impacts of our eating choices on our climate and the environment. With Kate Winslet narrating, beautiful drone footage, and an original score, it’s the most powerful documentary on the environment I’ve ever seen.

For those that have seen it - what did you think?
