- marricks 9y agoIt’s funny because all spices are plants. So if you, for some reason, wanted to cut out all plant matter you’d be the one with a bland tasteless world.
- acobster 9y agoAs a vegan myself, I find it laughable that someone could somehow elude the notion that the vegan "lifestyle" is "restrictive and bland" until they fortuitously discover this GitHub repo, or a tool that uses it. People are aware. They seldom miss a chance to let me know.
- KozmoNau7 9y agoRestrictive? It has to be, by definition. Bland? Only if you define your meals primarily by the meat they contain, which is still very ingrained in the western approach to food. So a lot of people think of vegetarian food as "leaving something out" or "taking something away", and imagine a steak dinner where you've simply removed the steak. That is obviously a bad approach. Focus on what you can make instead. Disclaimer: I like cooking and eating all kinds of tasty food, and I don't mind at all if it's vegetarian or vegan.
