Not Only Vegetables, This Is A Delicious Food Menu For Vegans
JAKARTA - You may already know that vegan people in their daily lives do not consume and use animal products.
The reason someone decides to be vegan could be because they want to improve their health or avoid all forms of exploitation and cruelty to animals, be it for food and fashion products, such as jackets, bags, or shoes made of animal skin.
For non-vegans, imagining the days of being vegan may feel tough and boring. You might think that vegans will only eat bland vegetables or salads and tofu all their life.
Even though it is healthy, it cannot be denied that not everyone likes to eat salad or vegetables every day. Then, how are you wanting to eat Geprek chicken, meatballs, and Padang rice?
Actually, what vegans eat is not so limited. There are also many food choices and the taste can be as good as non-vegan food in general.
It's just that there are still standard rules that can't be violated. In essence, all animal products are inedible.
What is included in animal products? Starting from beef, goat, chicken, duck, goose, quail, turkey, pork, all kinds of fish, shrimp, squid, shellfish, crab and lobster.
Apart from clearly animal meat, vegans also do not consume cheese, cow or goat milk, yogurt, butter, ice cream, eggs, honey, bee pollen, and mayonnaise. You also can't just buy ice cream, bread, or cakes because they generally contain milk, eggs or butter.
Even though there are many restrictions, there are still many other food choices that can be consumed. The good news is, now there are many vegan restaurants or restaurants that have non-vegan menu alternatives.
Actually there are many alternatives to vegan food substitutes, for example replacing meat with mushrooms, potatoes, sweet potatoes, jackfruit, and even artificial meat. Guaranteed you can still eat well with a varied menu every day. Even if you don't like vegetables at all, it's possible to be vegan.
