    As with an omnivorous diet, the cost factor comes more down to the specific component choices and preparation. My vegan diet is super cheap: lots of dry beans, lentils, peppers, onions, zucchini, tofu, and peanut butter. If I decided to go with more pre-processed foods like vegan cheeses and fancy veggie burgers, it could certainly be expensive. The same logic applies to an omnivorous diet.

    Supplements are another issue since the three big ones (B12, D, and Omega 3) tend to be a bit more expensive in the vegan form. I take high-quality, third-party verified supplements of these three and the cost is about $0.75 per day. Overall, I still think my diet is significantly cheaper than the average person’s.

    It’s also important to note that meat eaters don’t automatically have a diet that doesn’t necessitate supplementation. It’s just easy to identify certain particular needs for vegans.

    Legumes, soy, and quinoa are my main protein sources (specifically tofu, lentils, and black/pinto beans).

    All of these items are really versatile and can be a main component in a wide variety of dishes. Some of my favorites include dal, sofritas tacos, and chili.

  4. What is the best way to provide small bits of feedback about Tildes?

    I have a small suggestion for a change to Tilde's mobile design and I'm apprehensive about posting a whole new thread here since it's relatively insignificant. This makes me wonder in general what the best way is for me and others to submit ideas or issues without creating the clutter of a lot of threads.

    Would it be appropriate to create somewhat specific feedback threads? E.g. one for design issues and suggestions, one for feature suggestions, one for general bug reports, etc.? At the end of the day, I just want to let someone know about my suggestion without creating noise.

    I drive a Fiat 500E. I admit that with its 100 mile range and being a single car household, logistics can be a bit tricky in the US, but I’m repulsed by the American highway system so it’s my little protest.
