Thinking about #vss365 on here, & how everyone starts with the same prompt word & the same number of characters to work with, & everyone comes up with completely different results.

The results are the accumulation of a life’s worth of experience, each one unique. That’s #writing.

I'm looking for a good website, in English, on nutrition for vegans. (I know a couple in Finnish, but those, too) Sensible one, no fat phobia, spammy ads or a right winger owned platform, please. Will be happy to share your posts or something in return for any hints. Thanks.
