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 had some plant based nuggets and they were horrible! They had all the flavour and texture of chewing a cardboard box.

So colour me skeptical.

I had Franzia and it was horrible! Bitter and it took on plastic flavors from the bag it was stored in.

Colour me skeptical of wine.

I've had probably 4 or 5 different brands. Two of them were really good, the others were as you described.

A lot of them are shit, no question. They're made for vegans.

Do a taste test of a bunch of brands and find the right one for you.
