Vegan Home Cooks
Come join the Vegan Home Cooks!
Participation is really easy, just take a picture of what you cooked today and post it, no recipes needed.
This is a public forum for a discord server of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families.
We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task.
This forum is not a "food porn" community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don't care about its instagram worthiness.
Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted.
Rules
1. Be Vegan.
If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere.
2. Post home cooking.
No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants.
We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today.
4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique.
While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell.
5. Do not use trademarked brands
Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese.
6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)
We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we're excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn't required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it.
7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions.
Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do.
8. Adults Only.
While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult. If you have a gross and profane username you will be removed.

Or somewhere in a component of one of the machines that makes it, even if it doesn't contact the final product. Does your machine have a circuit board in it? Semiconductors! Resin! Solder! Bam: Anything made with it gets a California Proposition 65 warning label.
You are correct that the Prop 65 program as it currently stands is less than useless. This is largely down to the fact that there are penalties if your product is found to contain any substance on the list without disclosure, but there is no penalty for hedging your bets and making the blanket declaration that your product "may" contain chemicals known to the State of California, etc. if you can't be bothered to perform and pay for the testing to certify that it doesn't.
It is therefore cheaper for manufacturers to just plaster the Prop 65 warning label on absolutely everything, so they do. Now the label no longer has any meaning, because its presence does not accurately inform anyone if the product really does contain anything worth knowing about. It's become a Boy Who Cried Wolf situation with consumers, who see the label on every item they touch and still don't understand what it means, so it just becomes another meaningless formality that they ignore along with all the other crap on packaging they've been desensitized to seeing, like the resin identifier codes, worthless shield shaped "guarantee" logo, choking hazard logo, forced arbitration notices, etc., etc.
