Toot

So I was a vegetarian from age 18 to 34. During my first pregnancy I craved cheeseburgers so badly that I went back to eating meat, and I didn’t really try too hard to go back to vegetarian after she was born. A few years later I had my 2nd kid, and a few years after that I was diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis. I tried following a restrictive diet to manage it, which entailed excluding soy, so being vegetarian seemed completely impossible. My doctor was like no, you can’t do both.

The new medication I’m on is working brilliantly, including a near perfect result from my recent upper endoscopy, so I’ve been back on the vegetarian wagon for about a month now. And wow is the landscape different than 1995 😂

@tayfonay At my office, a sort of cool, shared, working space mostly for startups where everyone seems to be the same age as my kids - they have different food vans outside every day - all of them vegan. And the food is excellent. Would not have been possible 10 years ago, maybe not 5.

It's great!

@tayfonay Oh yeah, I was vegetarian for a while in the 1990s and I compare it to today with my daughter being vegan and she has so many choices. (And I make her vegan meals/treats when I can.)

@tayfonay I had vegan salmon sushi this weekend - the first time eating 'salmon' since becoming allergic in my 30s. It was SO nice to taste it again. Soy intolerance has been a factor in my going V or VG too, so I've gone mostly pescatarian and reduced animal protein intake

@tayfonay Maybe it’s time for me to once again share my method for making vegetarian chili. Would not be possible without the excellent meat analogs that are currently available.
