…does he not realize that homelessness relates to the mental health crisis?

Amazes me that people are stupid enough to think people simply choose to live like this.

“times change”

Bro thinks 2007 was the Johnson administration.

That’s honestly so adorable.

I know how dangerous bears can be but it’s hard not to look at that photo and not be in awe at how cute they look all hanging out on the tree together. Just hope their presence in the area didn’t cause any major safety issues for too long.

To give a direct answer, familiarity honestly. While I would want to move towards even having poultry less, it’s just a thing of acquainting myself with recipes and whatnot and finding ones that work for me.

Attempted making bean burgers for example, and they turned out becoming more like sloppy joes, so trying to get things to work out without having to make them each day ha. Trying to challenge myself to use a binding ingredient that isn’t eggs. I got flax seeds since it was recommended before in a convo, but kinda lost on how to properly use them as a binder.

Also idk how much it helps, but being lactose intolerant has greatly reduced the amount of dairy I have, so I tend to go with products based on plant-based alternatives with the only exception being cheese the few times I have it since the texture and mouth feel of vegan cheese just doesn’t match what I’m comfortable with.

Yeah, aware of the fact that meat tends to be a big issue with carbon emissions and environmental sustainability. While I’m not *currently* planning on being vegan, I’m definitely cutting out beef and pork and replacing them with chicken and fish for the time being for both diet and environmental reasons.

Overall trying to reduce the amount of meat I eat regardless, and I’m glad that’s been an easy change so far.
