It’s even more extreme than that if you want full self-sufficiency. The average US diet requires ~2 acres of land (cropland + pasture)/person/year. So a family of 4 would need ~8 acres. (It’s less if you eat more plants/fewer animal proteins than avg American, but it’s still a looooot of land.)

One of the nice parts about cooking without meat is that you don't need to treat any of your utensils like a biohazard because you aren't getting meat juices on them.

Just taught my midwestern bf the term “nabs.” Do yall know what nabs are?

Cursed directions

Have been reading so much good sapphic fiction

In rural Wisconsin, ordered a dish with no cheese and was met with responses of sheer horror

I love songwriting

there should be an industry wide boycott of this and everyone involved

Oo-la-la! ✨👌 “On September 13, New York’s dining scene gets a sweet twist with the debut of Délice de Bernay, billed as Manhattan’s first fully vegan French pâtisserie” 🇫🇷 vegnews.com/nyc-delice-d...

Welcome to my lab

we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light

I wrote about the loss of excitement around veganism, which I think reflects a deeper shift: progressives have lost faith that they can change the world. The sooner we get some idealism back, the better on.ft.com/3UPnqdq

95% of Americans are fiber deficient. I’m in the 5%

This sucks, for the country and the world

Happy weekend! Here’s a 3,500 year-old Minoan clay flask decorated with a spectacular wide-eyed octopus! 🐙😍 From Palaikastro, a Bronze Age settlement site on the island of Crete. Heraklion Archaeological Museum. 📷 by me #Archaeology

At the gym and forgot my headphones. I’m about to raw dog this workout

Found an Olive Garden gift card in my wallet. Guess I know what’s for dinner. Also check it out 🌱 🍝

Wrightsville Beach, on the North Carolina coast, is recommending that no one swim in the ocean until at least Friday, after about 70 people had to be rescued on Monday from dangerous rip currents generated by swells from Hurricane Erin www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

What’s your favorite food fact that is true but sounds totally made up? I’ll start: about half of the mushrooms produced across the United States of America each year (more than 300 million pounds of mushrooms in recent years) are produced in *one county* in Pennsylvania.

This is so breathtakingly cruel that my soul glitched. I’m never surprised by the depths of depravity, per se, but having to process it still exacts an emotional cost. www.npr.org/2025/08/08/n...

Tonight the Chicago skyline was lit in purple for Olivia Rodrigo's performance at Lollapalooza. Be sure to check my comments for a panorama of the entire skyline and the purple accents.

You don’t have to be perfect. Just trying your best, eating fewer animal products, and not launching yourself into space for about 11 minutes can all add up

Loaded sweet potato w/ broccoli, field roast apple maple sausage, daiya mac & cheese, and green onions. A thing of beauty, and #vegan

Just ate a cherry tomato off the vine. Folks this is what life is about

When Andrew Jackson sent Native Americans on the Trail of Tears, it was a policy choice. When the British diverted food away from the Irish during The Great Hunger, it was a policy choice. The starvation & death in Gaza is no different. This is a policy choice & our government is complicit in it.

I know nothing matters these days, but I'm genuinely stunned that MAHA is excited about replacing corn syrup with sugar in Coke. RFK Jr. himself said sugar is poison! This is changing the lipstick on the pig, to more expensive imported lipstick. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
