@Jeri Sos big fan of Cronometer. I have been using it for years. I remember several years ago the database in MyFitnessPal wasn’t as good but it may have changed now.

Hi! I will be there and tomorrow is my birthday :)

Sunday 5/24 is my birthday! I will stop by ;)

There was one event that had great influence on me while I was visiting some family in France in 2013. At the time I was not yet vegan or even vegetarian. I was just becoming aware of the horrible cruelty inherent in our food system. At my aunts house in Bordeaux, they were serving foie gras. I had previous knowledge of how foie gras is produced, so I objected to it, noted it is banned in some states/countries, and said I wasn’t too interested in eating it. The reply from my French family is that all meat and animal products are cruel, and since I was already eating animals, on what grounds was I objecting to foie gras? In that moment I thought to myself - wow they are right. All animal products are cruel. Maybe that means I should stop eating all animals? Sadly, it took me until 2016 to become vegan. But that moment was a major catalyst. The debates about veganism I watched in the intervening years helped me fully make the transition and finally go vegan while I lived in Sweden in 2016.

@Christine Mann I lived in Umeå, in the north for a few years. Smaller town without any fully vegan locations but I was able to find vegan options at some restaurants. In the south in cities like Stockholm, Gothenburg, or Malmö there are far more options. In general I feel Europe has been quite good for vegans lately especially in the bigger cities.

Sad I missed this one. I will try to make next week
