wow, what a big message, thanl you for support!

So you know a lot about the Lent already, even more than me (on which days oils are not allowed, for example), cause I don't observe the official Lent (not religious).

Yeah, as I said in another comment, I stock on mayonnaise during the Lent, I could also stock on sem0prepared meals, but this is not the point, I'm ok with cooking the meals from scratch, but Lent also provides with comfortable eating-out.

I cannot order things from Amazon, but there is an analogical site - iHerb, from which I order some fun things like Nutritional Yeast and Dry maple sirup)

But as for growing myself, uhhh... I don't think I can handle it! but I already grow green onion sprouts on the ceiling!))

Buying from local farmers who treat animals well... First, I don't think that animals grown for food or for profit could be treated as sentient beings, they are just a commodity for their owners. They're not even recognized as "pets". And even if they live a life relatively free of suffering, they will still have the same end - head chopped. My dad used to get chickens in his backyard. He promised me to treat them humanely. But as they grew up he chopped all the males, leaving just one to fertilize the eggs. And after 2 years when they stopped laying eggs, they were all chopped without pity. That was painful( And the same goes about local farmer's cows, the same destiny, and their calves are taken for slaughter just the same way :(
