> I’d encourage anyone who eats meat every day to consider experimenting with periodic meat free days. I don't mind not having meat, but I'm not very good about eating vegetables. I'm a supertaster with a diet that learns towards childish. Most spices and bitter veggies are out, so it's difficult to find vegetarian or vegan dishes I can tolerate. All the vegans and vegetarians I know love these crazy spicy foods and I'm over here avoiding certain brands of gum and toothpaste because they're too much for me. Meat free days for me would likely end up being full of pasta, fruits, nuts, or even something like PB&J or French toast!

I've found that with sea salt, olive oil, garlic, and an air fryer, just about any vegetable can be made hot and delicious in 15 minutes or less.

It's a shame people are downvoting you. I'm not here to tell everyone they have to be vegan. I think if you were raised in a vegan-friendly culture, you probably would have found foods you enjoy. And perhaps you could still do that now. But something I've learned is that some people I know were vegan for years and ultimately felt like their body couldn't really deal with it, and they had to go back to eating meat, eggs, and dairy. Between a doctor, a nutritionist, and a chef, could they figure out what that person needed to stay vegan? I think the answer is probably yes, though I don't know for sure. But can we expect every person to be able to do all that while dealing with all the complexities of everything else life throws at us? No I don't think so. I do have a lot of moral qualms with animal agriculture, but it's not on every person raised in a meat-centric culture to solve. If more and more people try veganism, eventually we will all have an easier time converting. And I don't blame anyone in the here and now who isn't in a good place to do it.

  Animal agriculture bothers me too, so I'll keep trying new things and see if I can't expand my dietary horizons, but lab grown meat can't come fast enough. If fake meat gets as close to the real thing without cows as brave robot ice cream managed I think that'll be the end of the meat industry as we know it.
