    Let’s see the cost difference here as well.

    Vegan is expensive AF if I’m expected to like for like replace normal with vegan (ie. Vegan cheese)

    I lean vegetarian because fuck living without eggs, butter and cheese lol

    Personally speaking I’d do a vegetarian thanksgiving without tofurky. People try to hard to replicate meat. Just accept no meat and be done with it. It’s so much better.

    For the record I’m doing a turkwy for Christmas and it will be delicious lol

    Cheese has been one of the hardest things for my partner and I to give up

    It’s cheap, tasty, and it’s a decent source of protein

    We’re finally getting tasty vegan cheese (Rebel cheese is a favorite of ours) but it’s expensive and often is pure fat.

    I’m hoping we’ll get more innovation in vegan cheeses but in the meanwhile I’m going to keep looking for good alternatives

      Stuffing as in, stuffed into an animal carcass… If you cook it in a pan it’s called dressing

    Is this saying that Mac n cheese is worse for the environment* than turkey?

    *Produces more CO^2

      Yes

      The single dish with the highest carbon footprint is not the meat — it’s the mac n cheese.

      I haven’t voted on this post, but the data is not really presented in a beautiful or especially interesting way.

      The article actually goes into some nice detail, but people wouldn’t know that from the extremely obvious title.

      OP is posting this as a narrative with a preachy agenda, and that will turn people away before they even get to the content.

          The title is preachy. It is correct based on the data presented, but still preachy. The title of the article is good.

          The data itself is probably fine, but it’s hand picked to come to that specific conclusion. I’ve had many vegetarian Thanksgivings, and I’ve never had Mac and Cheese at one.
