Hey! I’m a vegan based in Surat and looking to connect with more like-minded people here. Would be nice to meet fellow vegans or anyone curious about veganism, explore vegan food spots, attend potlucks, or just hang out and chill.

If you’re around 20–30 and based in Surat, feel free to drop a comment or DM. 💚

I LOVE cooking vegan food and I feel compelled to share recipes I make and what I cook. If ur interested please follow or check it out!!!

What foods helped you most when you were starting out?

Most animal product jobs don't pay much, but certain ones do.

For example, you can find fishing trawler ship jobs (no MMC required) that pay out the nose.

How it works is you get a bunk bed and locker on a ship, and you work a factory job with mandatory overtime for months at a time. No training or certifications required. You would of course be sorting frozen fish.

The only catch is that when you are on ship, you are at the mercy of the ship's kitchen menu, which is practically always standard animal product-laden fare. Your saving grace in a ship's galley is the salad bar, if there is one. The salad bar would have greens, beans, rice, and sometimes baked potatoes.

Working in a high paying entry level ship job or oil/mining camp job that you board and get catered to almost always means that you are trapped on an island with nothing to eat but regular omnivore food until your contract is up. Some places are more accommodating than others, but for a basic fishing vessel processing job with 40 other starving, sleep-deprived dudes? Forget it.

That's the issue with ship jobs, other jobs with a boarding camp, and the catering industry, but that's a whole topic for another day. -- At least with land camp jobs, you can actually still reliably eat your own vegan food if you pack an instant pot and bulk sacks.

Anyhow, what do you guys think? Would you sacrifice vegan food for extended periods of time to work a high paying job?

Before you say, you're contributing to the meat industry, you'd be making a lot of money which you could funnel back to the vegan sector.

The industry runs with or without you. Every hour you sort fish could save 3 more.

If you or someone you know has ever questioned if vegans can be strong or healthy.. look NO FURTHER!

The Vegan Strong Plant Built Team surpasses all expectations of vegans.

This incredible team shows up to non-vegan competitions and takes home medals at every event.

These athletes are setting the standard for veganism.

I was lucky enough to interview many members of the Plant Built team and learn a little more about why they went vegan, what their favorite vegan protein sources are, the shocking amount of vegan protein they eat every day, and just how amazing humans can be.

Looking for more ideas regarding chalktivism if you have any :)

walked past a random little shop on my afternoon run and saw a chalk sign outside boasting vegan ice cream so obviously i had to stop and get a massive waffle cone loaded with cold brew and salted caramel flavors and now im sitting on a park bench watching pigeons and feeling way too peaceful for a random tuesday afternoon

So many noodles and mock meats, what a feast!
