Nah I'm pretty much done with meat. I don't think I'll eat meat again ever
As far as protein goes, there's plenty of protein in what I eat. There's protein in lots of different nuts, seeds, grains and beans that makes it a non issue. Protein isn't an issue when you do veganism right.

Lol I grew dreads breh.
I pretty much gave up meat and dairy since I started to see how it isn't that good to our health when consumed often. I know people say portions and balance is key but let's be frank we be eating vien bef and poule with processed foods daily. I agree the processed food up here is what's making us sick like that.
It's nothing if you have it every now and then but that Maagi which is loaded with MSG, white rice and canola oil with large amounts of non organic meat daily is something else.
I don't feel deprived though as I still eat regular haitian food all the time. If you saw some of the plates I be eating you'd swear it wasn't vegan.
This was what I had for thanksgiving last year.
I even had mock turkey cutlet on the side next to the banan peze and some salad. shyt was
nice plate breh
i had the banan peze with the di ri ak jonjon and salad and turkey....i don't fukk with the potato salad though. one year that shyt fukked me all up in haiti
