I tried out a recipe for sweet potato brownies and other than being a bit softer than normal brownies they were totally delicious!

1 sweet potato 6 tbs of flour 2 eggs 3 tbs of cocoa powder 1 tsp of baking soda A pinch of salt chocolate chips 1/2 cup of maple syrup Cooked for 30~ minutes at 350

I don't think I forgot anything, the recipe is originally from tiktok. I paired it with some cookies and cream halo top, seriously so good.

Other than the baking ingredients I also finally got some faux meat from the store! I remeber when my friend showed me the impsible sandwhich at Starbucks 🤯 mind blown, lik actully. I'd gone like 4~ months being pescatarian at that point and biting into that sandchish was other worly.

I have high hopes around the "meat" because I've never been someone who was put off by the texture of of. When I was younger I would put honey and hot sauce on raw bacon and eat it... But I would also eat sugar and butter in a bowl so don't put too much stock into that.

If you know any good vegetarian/pescatarian recipes lmk!

Okay, I’ll admit it was quite the shocking type of footage, I believe it was leaked by an animal rights organisation. You could see broiler chickens being slaughtered, basically a lot of blood and, you know, all the things that come with the practice of slaughter, but there was also a great amount of unnecessary aggression coming from the staff, which I remember finding shocking.

Anyway, I watched the video at home as I prepared for the presentation and decided it was disgusting enough. The next day, after my yap, and at the end of the presentation, I said “I would like to show this video that illustrates what happens before you eat your chicken fillet.” Long story short, I was not allowed to proceed with the video. My teacher cut my time short and that was the end of my presentation. I remember feeling hurt, not because I got less presentation time (I could have peed my pants out of fear standing in front of the classroom, ugh) but because I felt like I had failed the chickens in my belief.

But above all it’s the ignorance of my teacher back then that frustrates me even now. You know the industry is bad, you know you can watch a video to see the truth, but instead you close the laptop and eat chicken for dinner anyway, like nothing happened. I hate it when people choose the easy way, and it’s usually the way of ignorance. And by closing that laptop that day, he taught a whole class to look away.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a saint, I still eat fish now and then and I would love to eat more vegan but it’s hard right now. But at least I educate myself and learn about the harm done not only to animals but also to the planet and humans too, because are these meats even healthy?

Btw, if you educate yourself and decide you are okay with everything happening and can still enjoy a burger without the feeling of guilt, then I lowkey respect you more than the ignorant kind of people.
