Edit: Missed my whole point of posting this specifically in the vegan sub lol, but I'm glad at least you found it as something positive.

I manage a small team, and we're going through a lot right now so I've been buying lunch each week. I'm trying to be the supportive boss and buy them for they want, but it sucks. (It's from office funds, not my own money)

Last week they wanted fast food, and couldn't be persuaded to eat Burger King so I could get an impossible Whopper. We settled on McDonald's.

Today is pi Day, so I thought I'd get them pizza. I got garlic bread sticks for myself. I didn't see anywhere to customize, but they came covered in Parmesan. I probably should have known, but ugh.

I just want to enjoy something if I'm going through the trouble of getting the food. Now I'm sad. Anyways, thanks for reading my rant.

Edit: I told my husband about the incident, and I came home to freshly baked homemade vegan chorizo pizza and flowers. 🥰

I want to start eating more frequently plant-based foods, especially oats, lentils, chickpeas, etc. which are high on fiber. The thing is, I'm kinda hesitant to do so, because almost every time I eat them, soon enough I get the side effects for the rest of the day and the fact that I might spend a lot of time outside without going home doesn't help me.. (One solution would be to change some social norms around gas or feel less insecure.. I try to help others who are in my place to feel comfortable, but I don't know if others would do that for me🤷)

What could I do to help this situation? Is it possible for my body to digest it properly or will always cause extra gas?

Ideas I have read/thought so far (with some questions):

1. Soaking them in water for 12+hours and throwing the water. How many nutriens do I lose that way? How does it work? (I read somewhere that it simply takes away some sugars which cause digestion issues.) Does it work for all grains and seeds?

2. Putting them in a blender. That's kinda my idea, but would essentially cutting them in a finer and liquid state make them easier to digest? (Probably won't work at all for insoluble fiber though.)

3. Boiling/heating them up. Does this work? Does it degrade any nutrients?

4. Eating more. I've read that the gut adapts and digests them better over time. (Though I don't know how much improvement I should notice.)

I'd just like to minimize-eliminate the side-effects without ruining their nutrients if possible :)

Edit: Thank you everyone for your help! I see the main point here is to just eat more of high fibre food. Thank you for your time!😊

Where can I find a list of fruit trees that grow in the Amazon?

I'm currently eating a mostly raw vegan diet, and I'm trying to transition to fruitarian diet. But I live in Northern Europe, and the fruit options here are very limited. Obviously I'd be better living some place topical, and I've been seeing some posts from some sustainable communities in South America.

Specifically, there seems to be many permaculture projects in the Amazon that are able to grow their own fruits in fruit-heavy forest gardens. I've learned about a lot of new exotic fruits from some of their videos, but what I really want is a comprehensive list of all the fruits that one can grow in the Amazon.

Does anyone know where I can find a list of fruits that grow in the Amazon (native and non-native)?

My family is trying to get me to eat less lentils because they said it's full of uric acid. But they curiously don't say the same thing about eating meat everyday. How much uric acid is even in lentils compared to meat? Is meat worse on uric acid altogether or is there a nuance I'm missing?
