I mean obviously in the house you've got provisions but like... I can't think of a way to turn "oh hell I'm late for work" into "I ate a vegan breakfast on the way" without "and therefore I'm much much later than I would have been had I just gone hungry"

@Murkrow There’s websites that can tell you which prepackaged foods are vegan. Also, instant oatmeal used to be my go-to (unrelated to veganism)

@deathmlem so you do have to keep some spoons in reserve to prepare lunch ahead of time?

@Murkrow my old office had silverware. Otherwise yeah. You just need a mug or bowl and a spoon though...

@deathmlem sorry, I mean metphorical spoons - it's a unit of energy used by chronically ill folks.

Still - you have to remember to keep oatmeal in the house, and pack it up, and get to work early enough to eat it before your shift starts? Or pack a flask of boiling water to make it on the train? Am I understanding right?

@Murkrow At my old job, there was hot water from the coffee maker (commercial style) and silverware, so I just bought a box of instant oatmeal.
The vegan spoonies I know get frozen stuff from Trader Joe’s and reheat it.

@Murkrow I kept food in the office. I work at a grocery store now. (I guess these things are of no help 😅)

@Sylvhem thank you!

My options are eat on the way to work, mid-day cup of coffee and eat after work so I often wonder what I'd do if I couldn't just fling some money at the station barista and have her fling a hot sandwich back at me.

@Murkrow Yeah, that can be annoying :/. I would suggest to take a fruit from home with you to eat it on your way or at work.
