If I don’t eat at least some meat, what do I eat ?

I’ve tried living mostly off soybeans and I can tell you, it was a depressing and miserable existence, at least for me.

I legitimately has no energy and felt depressed for a long time.

Yes I also ate other legumes. It just didn’t really work well for me. Maybe I’ll try again someday.

Even when I was vegetarian, I was freaking out about all the food that was imported and the emissions from that.

You’re kind of screwed if you do and screwed if you don’t. Which is the inspiration for my original post I guess. I don’t truly feel I can stop climate change via my diet.

I decided not to own a car and be more flexible with my diet instead...I’m much happier now.

Why would you live mostly off of soy beans? That sounds depressing indeed. As a vegan I have an even more varied diet than before. I eat all kinds of fruits, vegetables, beans, grains, nuts and seeds. And I eat 0% soy. I also hate tofu/soy/etc.
