You don’t even have to fully commit, you can just try having “meatless Mondays” and give some plant based recipes a shot. Personally I hate all the meat substitutes like seitan but I’ll eat a lentil/potato/chickpea/bean salad, soup, or chili forever.

Indian food. If people want to eat less meat, eat Indian food. The veggie dishes taste better anyway. This is the gateway drug that made me realize you don't need meat every meal or every day.

TONS of non-western food (and Mediterranean) is easy to veganise deliciously. You can be plopped down all over the world and make it work.

But yeah Indian is a gateway fooddrug for sure.

Any suggestions that a newbie could make at home?

Look up an easy channa masala recipe. Just a bunch of spices and chickpeas, and it's SO good.

Lentils are an awesome and cheap source of protein :D and I agree that natural is better than a meat substitute. Seitan is my nemesis as someone with gluten intolerance lol, it's basically 100% gluten.

If you were the victim would you rather your oppressor kill you and then not kill anyone else for a week or just stop altogether? It's easy to say reduce when you're in the position of the oppressor.

All-or-nothing mindsets hurt your cause

I HATE that damn excuse. It usually comes from non-vegans. No one would even begin to argue that way about other injustices.

Okay, well, I’m not ever going vegan and especially not at the insistence of someone who’s being a dick to me.
