Wondering if anyone else has dealt with this issue – I have a family member who claims to be Vegan and overall she is mostly vegan. Periodically she eats cows milk, cheese and other products that have dairy and eggs in them and I suspect meat sometimes but I don’t really know. But she always calls herself Vegan and she claims it to her friends and family. As an actual Vegan, it really bothers me, even though I know her diet causes much less suffering than your average non-Vegan. Does anybody else ever deal with this? And do you think it’s a problem when people say they’re vegan and they’re actually not?

Hi everyone, just wanted to re-introduce myself. I’m Jon and I live in Asheville nc and my wife and I have a food business called Compassionste Kitchen (we manufacture vegan, organic baking mixes). I started this program in November 2025 and have continued to stick with it since then. I have had the most amazing results- and not just in how I look. My energy is up, my confidence is up, I am significantly stronger all around, and I’m getting more and more people asking me abt my diet. I work in construction and so many guys have been asking me how i can be strong and vegan. It’s been amazing; this journey has changed my life. And most importantly, it’s made me a more effective vegan advocate. I know my journey is still continuing, but hopefully you can see by the videos (first is before I started and other is a few weeks ago) that significant change has happened. I hope to engage more and am so happy this place exists. Vegan for the animals😀😀

Another Friday is here! I hope you are all having the best day ever! For today’s question I’d love to know where you all originated from. As in your hometown. I was born (and am in right now) Gainesville Florida. How about everyone else?

So as some of you know, my wife and I have a food business (Conpassionate Kitchen) and we sell certified vegan and organic baking mixes in compostable packaging. Inspired by this awesome group, I’ve been trying to create some higher protein recipes with our products and came up with this from our Everyday Baking Mix. 1 scoop vedge protein powder 1/2 cup Everyday Baking Mix 1 cup water Mix all together and cook in waffle iron or can also be used to make pancakes. Comes out to about 8 grams protein per 4” waffle. These make great little protein travel snacks as well. You can find us at www.compassionatekitchen.org and also in Earthfare in Asheville, NC. _compassionate_kitchen is our insta

I’m really looking forward to interacting and connecting with everyone on here! Ive been vegan almost 5 years now and honestly learn so much every day about more ways to cook delicious vegan food. I’m a mom and bodybuilder, but more focus on the mom part lately as I just had my second baby in August. We live in Mississippi but I’m from New Mexico and love to travel! Thank you all for being vegan and I hope to add value to this community by posting some recipes soon!
