Don’t actually start shit please.
So my take
meat take
is that boneless chicken wings are in all ways superior to normal chicken wings.
vegetarian take
Firm tofu is hands down better than all other forms of tofu, tempeh, etc.
And mash potatoes on pizza isn’t actually that bad. Just make it a proper pureé instead of smooshing up a baked potato with a spoon and calling it a day.
i have been observing voluntary dietary restrictions already and am seriously tempted to make the leap to vegetarian, because what i’m learning right now about avoiding certain foods is that it’s hard, it’s annoying, but it’s doable, and I am capable of cooking my own food to some robust degree. It’s time.
Vegan is another step beyond, i might get there someday, but i’m interested in moving that way. The inertia of a lifetime of eating meat, my relative lack of means, and the stress of life makes big changes difficult right now, but I accept the moral arguments, I want to get there.
