@Zayne this is a problem with a lot of people. Please fucking try quorn meat, I actually prefer their beef! And the Linda McCartney sausages omfg delish.
@Ayjay ive tried to make myself feel sympathy for the animals slaughtered but I can just sit there and watch that video with no emotional response. Might be a sociopath who knows

@ShadowJoey I think even if watching animals die does not make you squirm, you can agree that the yearly mass extinction of these animals is clearly wrong & there's zero justifable reasoning for it to happen.

After I watched this video I felt really bad and tried going Vegan and only lasted 2 days. Yeah, it's bad that this is how some of the animals are treated but I don't think I'd ever give up meat completely although there are some days or periods of time where I don't eat meat at all.

@Zayne There's loads of great alternatives when it comes to Vegan food, any supermarket in the UK has some great alternatives to meat products. Here's a few that I like, I buy all these from tesco but it's p much the same selection in any supermarket.
Animal product alternatives:
Violife cheese (grated, slices, blocks... works great w/ pasta and melts & tastes just like cheese)
Birdseye green burgers
Beyond Burgers (£5 for two, kinda pricey but taste just like meat)
Tesco mayo
Swedish Glace ice cream
Tesco Plant Chef selection (pizzas, oven meals,etc)
Naked Glory mince (great for lasagna, spagbol etc PS: Tesco free from mince is awful)
Tesco free from chocolate
Linda Mccartney selection (sausage rolls, burgers, sausages)
Vegan veggie burgers (spicy bean etc)
Tesco vegan chicken nuggets
Birds eye meat free sausages
Calfia Farms, almond breeze, alpro almond milks
Most Quorn products are p good, including fishless fingers, chicken nuggets, burgers, etc
Food heaven whipped cream
Ben and jerrys PB&cookies ice cream
Magnum vegan ice cream
Cornetto vegan
Cauldron foods tofu
Cauldron foods fallafel
Hummus
Birds eye meatballs
Tesco free from garlic & herb spread
Like meat soya nuggets
Like meat kebabs
Regular products that are vegan:
Heinz Beans Regular (and other heinz products)
Most tomato sauces
Most bread (Warburtons, tortillas etc)
Starbursts, frys chocolate, skittles, most energy drinks/soda
Pringles
Weetabix
Harvest Morn porridge
Coco pops
Shreddies choco
Whole foods:
Split red lentils
Chickpeas
Soya beans
Any fruit and veg
Flax Seeds
Sunpat protein+ peanut butter
Any nuts and seeds
Avacados
Takeaways:
Burger king impossible whopper
Papa johns (@D3V) vegan range (includes vegan cheese pizzas)
Pizza hut vegan range (includes vegan cheese pizzas)
Subway vegan subs
Local takeways sometimes have great options, they do in Leeds at least
Mcdonalds bringing out vegan range early NY
Dominos bringing out vegan pizza NY
Zizis vegan pizza
Greggs vegan sausage roll (they're also bringing more stuff out soon)
My dad is veggie and shops at Morrisons, he constantly brings back Morrisons own brand vegan pies and other vegan friendly alternatives. Fast food chains are bringing out more and more vegan options, supermarkets and big brands are jumping on the vegan trends. Now is a great time to eat plant-based foods, and if you shop about you will 100% find lots of products that you like. Some of the bigger brands are taking advantage of the vegan hype this year, but prices are dropping. I personally cook my own food, and there's plenty of places to find recipes like:

There's so many recipes, and so many reasons to go Vegan. I hope you'll at least try, and so you don't have to worry about what nutrients you need to focus on getting, just go ahead and take a multivitamin (you're likely missing important nutrients as a meat eater anyway, plus they're super cheap).

For more ethical, health based and enviromental reasons to go vegan:
Game changers doc (focuses on athletic gains and science behind veganism)
Dominon (animal cruelty and common practices, co-produced by Joaquin Phoenix)
Land of hope and glory (same as dominon, just in the UK)
Vegan 2019
Every argument against veganism (earthing ed, a really really great vegan activist, check out his street debates too)
That's probably enough stuff to get you started, I really would suggest anybody to watch Dominon as a starting point as it highlights the clear and disgusting abuse of animals throughout the world. It's what made me switch, I've found it incredibly easy to maintain a Vegan diet and don't miss meat in the slightest.

@Ayjay Even though I see your list and just how many vegan options there clearly are, I'm still hesitant. It's probably just the natural resistance to change. Also, switching to veganism does not just impact myself since I do the weekly shopping for my family, it's likely that they'll protest it. I'll trial veganism for a month to see how I get by. I literally felt assaulted when I watched those videos.

@Zayne it's obviously a huge change for anybody, anybody who has eaten meat for so long in a meat eating society is gonna be hesitant. My main advice would be to do your research, the more you find out the easier it becomes and the more knowledge about the meat industry (as disgusting as it might be) will push you further away from old habits.
good luck though, I wish you the best and if you need any help w anything then let me know!
