IT'S VEGANUARY !!

the best time of year to start giving a shit about non-human animals
"Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment."
🐮 Cows deserve to live their full lifespan
🐷 Pigs deserve a life free from exploitation
🐔 Chickens deserve a life free from genetic manipulation
If you've got any basic questions or concerns about veganism, !vegan@hexbear.net has a megathread devoted to that sort of discussion!

*like @glimmer_twin says, https://veganuary.com for recipes and guides for how to try it out!
My favorite is black bean soup.
Just dump carrots, onions, tomatoes, green peppers in the pot with some veggie stock and your soaked dried black beans. I like to chop everything and put beans out to soak the night before and then just dump it in the morning. Cook on low for 6-7 hours. For spices, smoked paprika, cumin, and oregano are all good. Chili powder is good, but for even more flavor you can grind up a whole dried chili of whatever type you like. Bay leaf is good in a lot of slow cooker recipes.
Optionally can blend some of it to give a creamy texture. Great served over rice or with some tortilla chips.
