My parents and I went to a food and wine festival yesterday. Approximately 30 kiosks, and each had 3 food choices. Only one kiosk was vegan, and there were no other vegan options at any of the others. We stopped at the vegan kiosk first, and I had the Gardein crabcake with slaw and the Gardein Cajun chickn with a wheat faro side. My parents also had them. Both were delicious and my parents loved them. We visited all of the other kiosks, and my parents got just one other food item... they wanted instead to go back to the vegan kiosk for more crabcakes and Cajun chickn! They have been altering their diets over the last couple of years, and we had a nice talk about how good vegan food can be. We focused mostly on the fact that its not meat itself that people get accustomed to, its the taste and textures of what is done to the meat. Simply replace the animal flesh with a plant-based alternative that is similar, prepare it in the same way, and it can be every bit as good, if not better, than the animal-based option. No one suffers, its healthier for us, and there is no harm done to the planet. They were all ears. I was very proud of them!
