@vegan When I was last using oil, it was a small amount of olive oil that I was adding (I was not frying, I avoid that), understanding that olive oil would be a more healthy choice. But I stopped getting oil to add, with going to the whole food plant-based way I since had, as a vegan, learning this way is healthiest to have and oil that we need is in the vegetables and nuts and seeds with that and we do not have no need to add oil, this way is much healthier.

@vegan But it should taste good, we want to continue with it, and I found tasty ways, especially with use of favorite seasonings and the great sauce I have with medium salsa and hummus in my prepared meals.

@vegan I find there are reasons to avoid things as I learn more, it happens that there was a lot of packaged goods I used to get and no longer get, and there are less of any packaging I get, as much of what I do get is from produce, since I had shifted to whole foods from plants for all that I have to eat. I will eat nothing that comes from animals that way and I don't even eat mushrooms. What I get still packaged in containers will be...

@vegan ...with the whole grain pasta, the hummus, the salsa, the whole grain bread, the whole grain tortillas, and there are jars of slices of pickles, the cans of vegetarian refried beans, containers of the nuts, packaging of seeds, bottles of apple juice and apple cider vinegar, and cartons of milk currently from rice. There are very few additional things that I get much less often, while what I have from produce has really increased. Much of that is organic now.

@vegan I sometimes but still pretty rarely get tempeh that I can heat up and use often between bread with some things like a burger. But it's not at all how I usually eat. My sandwiches are almost always with hummus and pickle slices, that's it. And generally I just eat my cooked meals with vegetables and either potato or else whole grain pasta and with my hummus and salsa special sauce with seasonings, or else with beans and maybe a bit of salsa, and also get bean burritos I make for myself too

@vegan And there is my green tea or sometimes coffee with a bit of Complete Cookie I will have routinely. That is usually almost all, other than incidental fruit at times, and anything I drink. So I don't miss meat or need to substitute for it, it wasn't hard. Eating meat, dairy, and eggs is not healthier for us, if we were eating all whole foods from plants and being sure we get our needed vitamins that is most healthy for us, studies are showing this, and it can be seen with looking.

@vegan This is rare for a vegan, but I really didn't like avocado. Most liked and disliked vegetables didn't change much for me, except maybe liking the liked vegetables more. Mushrooms are not vegetables at all, such that they are not plants of course, but fungi, opisthokonts like us. I never liked them and never will. But I recognized that since having things with guacamole worked for me I could work at using cut up bits of avocado and grow to like it a bit more. Until recently I was doing it.

@vegan But I had infested brussel sprouts when really young and that messed me up psychologically, it would be hard for me getting past my mistrust of them.
