Welcome back to Eight Years In, and welcome back to our questions for vegan series. We’re taking all of those questions that might annoy vegans, and answering them honestly.

“What if you were trapped on a desert island?” Nonvegans ask vegans about this scenario an astounding amount of times, believe it or not. So let’s talk about it honestly, so that we can all come to a mutual understanding.

To continue on our series of questions for vegans, today we’re talking about lions. Yes, you heard it right, lions. And if you’re someone who has never heard this one before, it might seem a little out of left field for us to be talking about, but surprisingly, it’s a question that vegans get a lot.

If you’re vegan for any appreciable amount of time, you’re probably going to get asked if you crave (x) ever. And if you’re not, you probably wonder about that, whenever you hear about a vegan. So let’s talk about vegan cravings. Do they happen? And what do we do about them?

So, being vegan, you’re used to being asked about it. Most people aren’t vegan, and whenever you’re the different one, well, people are bound to be curious. However, as a long-term vegan myself, I can’t say I don’t sympathize with the vegans who get flustered at questions. It can be annoying, getting the same questions all the time. It feels like you may never get to the end of talking about things that really aren’t that important to your lifestyle.

In this world, we’re given a finite amount of resources. Time, money, energy, health, and so on and so forth. It’s up to us to figure out what to do with them. And if you’re looking to really make a difference with what you have, you may want to consider volunteering your time.

Today, I want to talk about vegan replacement foods, such as faux meats, plant based milks, cheeses made from nuts, etc. In fact, I’ve wanted to talk about this for a long time. If you’re looking for a quick summary of this post, the title says it all, really. But I think this is a topic that we don’t talk about much in the community. So let’s, right now. Because there’s surprisingly a lot to say.

We hear a lot about water conservation these days in circles that are concerned about the environment and personal responsibility. And you know, that’s for good reason. The fact is, most of us are using more than we need to. So for those of us who are living our daily lives and want to know what we can do to do our part, let’s talk about the little things. Things we can all be mindful of, to save water.

At home, I have a keurig machine. (It’s actually kind of a funny story, we got it for free about a year ago, but I digress.) And when we first got it, I thought there wouldn’t be very many options for me, since most things I have seen for it are coffee with some sort of milk in it. Largely, I was right. However, I did find something…

Last night, I had a delicious dinner. And while I have the chef to thank for it largely (thanks again!), I also have the people at Gardein as well. Actually, come to think of it, I have them to thank for a lot of my most special meals over the last couple years. Today though, we’re just going to talk about their ground be’f. So let’s get to it.
