Do angry vegans turn you against going vegan?

What's the best milk-alternative for putting in tea/coffee/cereal?

Most soya milk used to be awful, but even the bog standard supermarket stuff from Sainsburys/Tescos etc tastes fine. I've had people round and they haven't even noticed it's not 'proper' milk in their tea/coffee. If you prefer full fat milk, sweetened soya might be better for you.

My weakness is cheese, but cutting out a lot of milk from my diet really helped my eczema.

I like coconut milk, but almond milk is also nice. I've tried dozens of brands of soy milk but I've never stopped hating the stuff.

You could have your tea and coffee without any milk/substitute and have something different for breakfast that doesn't involve milk.

I use Almond milk now, nicer than soya milk which used for years

I hate tea/coffee without milk, I need something to put in it.

Breakfast I can change!

I got into almond mill via Mrs Spy. I actually prefer it on cereal to cow's milk now.

It comes down to personal taste, but I think the best for tea and coffee are hemp milk, cashew milk and oat milk. These are quite creamy, kinda like semi-skimmed. Almond milk is also nice, but more like skimmed. I personally don't mind unsweetened soy milk in tea but in coffee its not always great. You can however get 'barista blends' of soy milk (in the UHT isle at the supermarket) that taste really good. Next time you're in a chain coffee shop, try a soya flat white - its one of my favourite drinks!

For cereal, I like all of them tbh, except for rice and hazelnut - both of which can be very sweet. I go for unsweetened soy and almond.

When that company I used to work for only offered dairy alternatives for tea the oatmilk went down well. I always have coffee black and like soy in tea well enough.

Schoolboy found hanged after 'class bullies threw meat at him for being vegan'

 

[gentlegreen]

Horrible.
What a waste - sounded like a bright kid.
School can be such a hideous place for those who don't "fit in".

 

[Lambert Simnel]

Of course that has everything to do with a shit school and nothing to do with veganism.

Schools that don't do anything to tackle bullying should be found criminally negligent in such cases.

 

[gentlegreen]

Indeed - no excuse in this day and age.
Back in the 70s when other kids were making my life hell and ruining my education, you were expected to just put up with it.

 

[Lambert Simnel]

Meanwhile I got accused of feeding meat to a veggie last night. I'd replaced scallops in a recipe with sliced lightly fried mushroom stalks but they didn't believe me.

 

[gentlegreen]

Perhaps it was the black pudding ?

how can you be sure about that?

If he'd been bullied for wearing Lonsdale trainers would this have been about Lonsdale or about a shit school?

I'm not even Vegan and this article is offensive in it's stupidity :

Lewis Hamilton: Could a vegan diet hamper his 'racing edge'?

BTW yesterday I purchased some oat milk, today is my first day going dairy free. Introducing the changes now. Eating more fruit too.

 

[Lambert Simnel]

So how is veganism related to class oppression exactly?

I guess stuffing workers with cheap meat is the most efficient way of fuelling them.

yes, crappy journalism
right at the end of article

The timing of Hamilton's dietary change may not be ideal but there are plenty of high-profile athletes who have successfully transitioned to a vegan diet, thriving even.

And while several studies suggest testosterone levels are lower in those on a plant-based diet than in those on a meat-based one, research by the British Journal of Cancer suggests a vegan diet actually increases them.

That means Hamilton could ultimately come back with even more of an edge.

 

[gentlegreen]

testosterone shtestosterone ...

Though I imagine it's useful in that sort of profession ...

 

[mwgdrwg]

After replacing milk with some oat-based replacement, I've got rid of butter after finding some Flora coconut based spread. It tastes really good.

Plannig on making tomorrow my first full vegan day. Then doing two next week etc.

This is my plan anyway. It's going to have to be gradual as I'm learning to change 44 years of programmed eating!

 

[mwgdrwg]

Oh, I'm also going to be making my own soup for the first time in my life. Pumpkin soup!
