    By the way, as someone who married a vegetarian (she does it because it helps her maintain her glucose levels as a Type 1 diabetic) I can't imagine the farts Brian had. When we first started dating I was eating a lot more vegetarian meals because I was cooking for her a lot and wooing her with my chef skills. Let me tell ya, it took a good 3 or 4 months before my body got used to the higher instance of full veggie meals and the heinous anus stopped.

      @@jooobvhv "better for your body" not true and no evidence to support this. Generally people site studies that compare all meat eaters with all vegans and all this proves is that the most glutonous unhealthy eaters consume meat and other animal products which isn't much of a revelation to anyone. It's impossible to overeat on a vegan diet. Meat is good for you in proper quantities and makes meeting calorie and protein needs infinitely easier than a vegan diet
      "Better for the animals" this statement definitionally makes no sense. Animals aren't people and so don't have moral worth. A moral judgement about an animal's wellbeing is confusing categories. The purpose of many animals is food and therefore it is good and proper to use them for such
      "Better for the planet" only a privileged westerner could even think this is an argument. Billions of people would struggle to survive without animal products. Furthermore "bad for the planet" in the sense you mean it is hard to quantify or qualify objectively. Mass farming of vegetables is "harmful to the planet" in the exact same sense (not even considering whether or not this carbon emission bs is legitimately a cause for concern or not)

    I love that you did this! I've been curious to see you try for a long time.
    I am going to preface the rest of this comment with saying I'm not personally vegan and don't think that everyone should be at all, especially not someone like Brian that has very specific nutritional needs.
    If you were to ever try this again, I'd love to see you eat a healthier and more natural plant based diet. There are so many naturally vegan foods that we already eat or could eat that the meat substitutes, while potentially nice, aren't necessary to reach that goal. I also think that the naturally plant based foods tend to taste better and digest much better too. You'd get a lot more of a natural diet and have an easier time digesting it, as there aren't as many processed ingredients or fillers in it. Perhaps Mexican flavours (which I think you like) or Indian ones (I'm not sure if you like those) would lend themselves well, as there are a lot of naturally plant based recipes there.
    Either way, thank you for doing this. You're an inspiration in general. Keep being great!

    Brian, I've been vegan for 34 years. I can tell you a tofu scramble and fake wings is not the way to go. There were so many other delicious options out there. All types of real vegetable dishes that you would have loved! I know you wanted lots of calories so for instance Indian food even though just vegetable can do that because of the sometimes high oil content. And desserts such as non dairy ice cream of so many different flavors would have blown you away! Plus unbelievable cakes and so much more. Next time(if there is a next time) you need to consult with a long time vegan for some good advice on the yummiest options.

      My experience with Vegan food was basically the same as Brian. I would say that the one thing I would change if I did it again would be to try different foods and not just meat alternatives. Part of the issue with those kinds of things are you're comparing it to what you already eat (like a hamburger vs a beyond burger). The best the vegan food can ever do is be basically what you're already happy with (so, the best case scenario is vegan food = meat, but more likely vegan food < meat). It will likely lose out on texture, taste, or something.
      If you eat foods that are not aimed to be meat replacements, you might find something you really like more. That said, I've struggled to find 'vegan' dishes I enjoy more than the meat I eat. I do eat more plant based things than I used to, but I definitely don't get the bulk of my protein from plants.

Honestly, the best vegan stuff is the one that does not pretend to be meat or dairy, since i doubt it could ever really live up to the real thing.

    I mean with vegan food in my experience it's all about finding what you like. I'm not vegan myself but we eat vegan a lot anyway because my girlfriend prefers it and I decided for myself that I want to reduce my meat-intake a lot. We're pretty happy with it now but we had to experiment for a while to find stuff we liked.
    Some people don't like "alternative meat" kind of stuff at all and just prefer getting their protein from stuff like beans or using tofu in its own way in recipes, not just to imitate meat. We generally like meat replacement products but if you really want to imitate meat you have to introduce some additional tricks (liquid smoke makes things taste more "meaty" in many dishes for example) and the meat replacements are all different in terms of:
    1. what do you digest well? Some people have trouble with soy, others with seitan and there's also stuff based on peas or lentils.
    2. what consistency do you like? For me personally pea-based is the best because soy based can be a bit dry sometimes and seitan is often too tough for me in terms of the consistency.
    3. what actually tastes good to you? Once again pea-based is my favourite but each manufacturer has their own processing and blend of proteins, fats and fibre along with seasoning obviously.
    So I'd say apart from the obvious "it's everybody's choice" there is no "one way" to eat vegan. If you're motivated to do it you find your way but there are definitely vegan dishes I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole while I love others :D

      Nobody is scared to eat veggies, fruits, and grains. Aside from the "carnivore diet" frauds. It's the fact that there is no real scientific proof that isn't paid for and backed by interested third parties backing the idea that we're not meant to be omnivores. Our Hunter-Gatherer ancestors ate wild game, wild greens, and wild fruits, and are generally considered to be far healthier and even taller than our earliest agricultural ancestors. Also soy is nasty.
