🎶 🌿 🥕 Paul McCartney urges COP30 to go vegetarian to avoid climate hypocrisy
The Beatles legend has issued a statement, arguing that serving meat at a climate summit is “like handing out cigarettes at a cancer-prevention conference”.
👉 “The animal agriculture industry is a top driver of deforestation and the climate catastrophe that is wreaking havoc on the planet,” he added. “I urge you to lead by example and make the conference all vegetarian.”

OK Fediverse, what is your favourite plant based ‘butter’ spread ? Earth Balance is a no no, too much palm oil. Trader Joe’s had a good one, but they seem to have stopped selling it. Any suggestions ? #vegetarian #vegan #plantbasedspread

The "chicken industry" in the entire civilised world is something YOU DO NOT WANT to look too closely into...
...least you intend on becoming a #vegetarian and an animal rights activist.
@pluralistic I was going to comment on the later part of this thread that this is why I dislike Amazon.
Now I learn I have a reason to dislike the US poultry industry.
And makes me wonder how much better / worse things are in Canada.
Both for the chickens and the Amazon subcontracted workers.

Similar but with black beans and a little simpler. I've put some black beans on to soak.

Overnight mulberry matcha oats are so easy to put together, you’ll have no excuse not to start your day with a healthy meal. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/09/07/food-drink/overnight-no-cook-mulberry-matcha-oats/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #fooddrink #recipe #tea #health #matcha #vegetarian
I wish you could filter out reviews from westerners on #HappyCow or other review sites for #Asian #vegetarian food.
It's a generalization, but can't trust most of them them. Too many mediocre, overpriced restaurants in touristy areas in Japan or elsewhere, catering to western #vegetarians, getting glowing reviews.

Fluid integrity.
I do not call myself a vegetarian anymore. I just say I lean heavily towards a plant based diet.
I do not fuss about it. Sometimes I end up eating meat.
I try to practice a plant based diet as best I can, because I feel it makes a tiny but non-insignificant difference to the suffering and cruelty inflicted on many factory farmed animals, and in some tiny but non-insignificant way, lessens my impact on the planet. And that is enough for me.
It is about personal practice over public performance. It is about being fluid with my self identity.
–ooOoo–
Take Marcus, a management consultant who travels three weeks out of every month. He’s been vegan for twelve years. When I asked how he handles client dinners in countries where veganism is virtually unknown, he laughed.
“I do my best,” he said. “Sometimes that means eating plain rice and vegetables. Sometimes it means accepting that the soup stock might have fish in it. I don’t interrogate waiters in languages I don’t speak. I don’t make scenes. I just do what I can with joy rather than what I can’t with misery.”
“But doesn’t that mean you’re not really vegan?” I pressed, channeling Anna’s earlier anxiety.“According to whom?” There it was again. “I’m not performing veganism for anyone. I’m living my values as fully as the moment allows.”
