Found a pretty damn tasty burg! 🤤Made in Vancouver, found at @vegansupplychinatown ~ the @tmrwfoods Burger made with cauli, beans, mushroom + wheat, and super meaty & flavourful!! @buteislandfoods Sheese Cheeze melted on top with @tahneeharrop garden pickles + vegan chipotle mayo + Dijon + roasted garlic + tomato + a @silverhillsbakery bun .... burger night was unreal. 😍 the coolest part: 🐮 no animal needed, yet the taste and texture both are 1000/10. 🙌🙌🙌 Whats your fave vegan patty??

World Vegan Day 😍
WHAT’s YOUR VEGAN STORY?:
Here’s mine:
💚Became a Holistic Nutritionist 4 years ago, and realized that eating plants was the best for my knee inflammation (from multiple surgeries throughout my Ski Cross career), athletic recovery, and weight management (overall lower calorie density + high nutrient density)
💚 Dove deeper and became aware of the environmental impact of animal agriculture:
~ (70-80% of the world's soy grown - most of it being GMO soy - is fed to animals, so we can eat them
~ the majority of the Amazon rainforest destruction is for animal feed and the beef industry
~ the ocean dead zones are mainly from factory farm pollution and over fishing
~ the oceans could be fishless by 2048 (@seashepherd )
~ animal ag produces as many green house gas emissions as the transportation sector
~ SO going straight to the source (the plants), skipping the middle man (the animal) and avoiding the vast amounts of resources needed to feed and process the animal into small packages in the grocery store...seemed like a great idea, and a simple solution
💚 Made the animal connection:
~ watched @earthlingsfilm and realized that my dog (Derby at the time) was no different from the cow I was watching being prodded through the isle to the slaughter house
~ I realized that there is no humane way to kill any animal (sentient, intelligent, emotional being) who doesn't want to die
~ I realized that the dairy cows have it worse than the beef cows, and that each male chick is ground up in the egg industry because they''re non-profitable.
💚
It took a year to transition: I lost 10 pounds. My skin cleared up. I had/still have lots of energy. I realized that there is a replacement for anything I've ever loved.
More about all of this is on my 'Why Vegan' Page on hookedonplants.ca
💚
It's important to focus on WHOLE PLANT FOODS, and explore the vegan alternatives as 'icing on the cake' kind of foods.
That's what @8020plants is all about (80%wfpb 20%indulge): if you need help transitioning, check it out (it's what I wish I had when I was going vegan).
💚
For inspo: follow the accounts I tagged in the photo and ask me anything!

Something for the Halloween festivities (it's green n' festive, and super healthy to counteract all that halloween indulgence).
It's ridiculously easy too (just takes 4 minutes), and PACKED with protein.
If you make it tag me so I can share your glorious photos.
And, grab some our fave crackers from our Whistler girls @evescrackers for the dipping action! (Check them out on @cbcdragon to see who they nailed a deal with!)
