Haha, oil + onions is how all of my recipes start! But omg, I admire you for trying deep frying! I've always been too convinced that I'd get it horribly wrong somehow. Maybe someday?
You know, I totally went back and forth about my phrasing in that sentence before settling for "making a difference". Maybe "slightly reducing your personal contribution to particularly harmful industries while giving yourself a tangible reminder of your values" would have been a better fit?
Anyway, I love your point about it making it easier for you to talk with other people and give them help and advice. Any individual action is obviously extremely limited in its effect, but maybe you can be part of a shift in the society-wide conversation. Or at least share some delicious recipes, I guess?
Re: 2/3 probably because I think I had more to say but it's super late
