The Lemmy place to discuss veganism.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Rules:

  1. Keep discussions civil.

  2. Arguments against veganism will be removed.

  3. No bigotry is allowed - including speciesism, racism, sexism, classism, ableism, castism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

  4. Sealioning will not be entertained.

  5. Please avoid sharing articles about celebrities, plant-based capitalism and artificial intelligence.

I stopped having coco when I went vegan. I hear there are non terrible ways to get it but I can't actually find any sold where I'm confident the people growing it get paid enough to enjoy the chocolate products I want.

I really miss it. Carob does not make a delicious hot drink.

I grew up with carob, so there's a little bit of nostalgia there... but I'm not going to argue that it's the same haha

Carob can be nice, like carob and coconut makes a lovely cake. Or carob and banana in a pancake is great.

But on a cold winter's day a carob and nutmeg drink would just taste of sadness.
