@Duchess you're supposed to eat meat everyday, and red meat 4 times a week. You should either eat meat everyday or abandon it all together lol

Have you guys tried cashew milk? I like almond milk (for cereal) but it's too watery in my tea. I wanna try cashew.

Wiki gout and colon cancer that's your future if you eat too much red meat. Even reer baadiyos don't really eat a lot of hilib. They have berries/caano/caano garoor

According to who? Btw, I rarely if ever eat red meat. The last time was months ago when I had some ground beef on my pizza.

@nucleus I haven't tried it. I like my tea and coffee bila ano.

If @AbdiJohnson were forced to slaughter animals for food, he would be a vegetarian.

You're supposed to eat some kind of animal everyday. It doesn't have to be red meat. It can be chicken. Chicken is my favorite so I can live without red meat myself.

Breakfast: pancakes or cereal or a muffin

Lunch: meat sandwich? Tuna salad? Salad itself?

Dinner: rice/pasta/chapati and meat. Sambuusa. Butter chicken.

It's very hard to avoid meat. What do you eat for dinner and lunch if you eat meat only once a week? Do your force your husband to also eat meat only once a week?

I'm just curious at what the options would be. Do you eat rice and pasta by itself?

I've seen goats slaughtered infront of me.

I was sickened by it. I couldn't watch. I can't slaughter them

But I love to eat them.

@nucleus I was same with the red meat even to this day, I won't touch it. Goat meat, lamb, and after high school I stopped eating chicken. I don't eat red meat or chicken now, just fish occasionally.

I remember in 6th grade going to my uncle's house for winter break and his wife cooked bariis isku dhaxkariis. I refused to eat until she made me plain bariis. I get nauseous from the smell of hilib Ari and red meat. There's this distinctive smell to them. I can't put my finger on it but I despise going into a house that has been cooked hilib Ari in.

I use coconut creamer from whole foods. Tastes so good Wallahi. I love almond milk. Cashew milk is okay but I prefer coconut milk and almond milk. Actually I'm currently loving almond coconut milk, tastes so good Wallahi. I sent dua for the company that came up with it.

There are plenty of substitutes. Indian cuisine is the best for this. There are countless vegetarian/vegan curry options, all you need to do is replace the meat and chicken with something else like paneer. I'm not a vegan so I occasionally have diary and eggs. My diet isn't as limiting as it seems.

It's good that you don't eat a lot of red meat, but please research chicken farms. Support humane farming practices and purchase only organic products.
