What actually worked:

1. Stop announcing it's vegan. Let the food speak first, reveal later.
2. Texture is everything. Crunch, chew, crisp...
3. Familiar forms win. Dumplings, noodles, wraps...
4. Speed matters. Under 30 minutes or it's not happening on a weeknight.

@aoilainn.bsky.social, same with me. Was pescatarian for two years before going vegetarian, first removing all non-fish from my diet, then heavier fish, then lighter, and then, I just stopped. I didn't notice the pattern until well after. It was my body naturally leading me.

Macfarlane argues that we should shift from viewing rivers as mere resources to recognizing them as living entities. Further, we should advocate for the legal rights of rivers, like the Te Awa Tupua Act in New Zealand, declaring the Whanganui River a living entity with legal personhood. #WaterIsLife
