Most important thing you've learned in the past 5 years (self.asklemmy)

What's the most important thing or change you've learned/made in the past 5 years.

For me it has to be that vegetarian based meals are not inferior to meat based dishes. I find myself preparing and trying so many interesting and great dishes that I would've never considered 10 years ago.

How about you?

I like this one. I don't go quite as far as 80/20 or 90/10, but I try to progress. Like I generally avoid beef, now. Recently stopped eating squid and octopus (it's popular where I live). Next step will be pork, then chicken, though chicken's gonna be really tough. But yeah, still a good strategy

I found for me it helped a lot to focus less on what you'll stop eating, but on what you will start eating instead.

Learn to make a few epic bean/lentil curries/chillis. Experiment with alternative protein sources. Get real good at making tofu in a few different ways.

Ohh, that's a good idea. Maybe I'll give that a go. Thanks!
